The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.
You did.
That was the whole point of your first reply in this thread. Top comment is literally a comment saying this is the will of the president and not the people. You responded with “that’s wrong, they’re the same thing” like they are magically the same just because he won. Basically saying that regardless of who they voted for, this is what they voted for. Because that’s how democracy works right. You are the one saying that our votes/voices don’t matter just because Trump won. Rebuplicans famously disagree with any democratic president and their policies so I don’t understand why I have to agree with a republican one. Someone else then came in and started spitting out numbers like that was the conversation. It wasn’t.
Trump and his cronies lost everytime they ran on a Project 2025 platform, so much so that Trump even distanced himself. When that didn’t work he went to the classics, his greatest hits. And now that he’s in the White House we have slowly watched him back track on some of his promises. Angering/disappointing some of his base in the process.
But getting back on track,
lol tariffs aren’t gonna hurt Americans…
quote me then. and not fake quote me like a bitch as you did right there either where you imagined I said “they’re the same thing” and tried to will it into existence so your shitty arguments sound more reasonable.
the rest of your comment is from a fever I can only presume because it has nothing to do with my point.
the original comment said that this was not the will of the people and I said yes it is. this was a laid out plan, and even if he distanced himself (as if anyone would believe him) his own promises weren’t different at all. he literally said he wanted to be a dictator day one. deport 20 million. end diversity. and the majority of the people voted for him. 160 million stamps of approval. that’s the will of the American people by a significant margin. that’s how it’s determined. it doesn’t mean every single person.
Here’s your exact quote:
you can’t get out of it this time. he won the popular vote. not voting is voting.
So these tariffs are the will of the people or the will of the president? In your comment, you “scolded/teased/attacked” someone for saying that there is a difference. Your argument is that “the people”, ie everyone, blindly accepted and approved of whatever idiotic policy simply because Trump won the popular vote. I don’t accept that.
I’m sorry but that’s just not how democracy works. Remember let’s go Brandon, remember #notmypresident, remember those “I did that” stickers, clearly this goes both ways. Being a democracy means that there is supposed to be some middle ground, some compromise, as well as room for dissent. Trump doesn’t do that, we are watching democracy die in real time and you think that this is what the American people want. Some, sure. But not all. I thought the dictator was supposed to be the guy in the White House, not some random little bitch in the comments section of one of the smallest social media platforms on earth crying that the the popular vote doesn’t allow for anyone to disagree with the president.
I’m the one agreeing with the guy that said these tariffs are solely the presidents fault and idea. You are the one saying they are the American peoples fault and idea because Trump won the popular vote. Am I missing something here?
