Summary
Donald Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, blaming them for failing to stop illegal drugs and immigration.
He also vowed to add a 10% tariff on Chinese goods until drug trafficking into the U.S. ceases.
Economists warn these tariffs could drive up consumer prices and inflation.
While violent crime has declined in recent years, Trump continues to link trade measures to border security and drug issues, echoing his first-term trade policies and immigration stance.
It seems pretty obvious that the plan is to deliberately destroy the US economy.
Makes one wonder who would benefit from that…
Anyone with enough money to weather the shit storm. Look at how much money the top 1% made during Covid.
They’d just buy assets that others won’t be able to afford and hoard more
I think you misspelled “create buying opportunities for the oligarchs”
/s
And Canada’s and Mexico’s as well.
The orange asshole just doesn’t gaf about anyone but himself.
He should be first on the BBQ menu.
