Summary

Donald Trump initiated controversial tariffs, formally launching a trade war despite opposition from allies and widespread criticism among policy experts.

He imposed a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports, with additional charges on Canadian energy and Chinese goods under emergency powers.

Critics and experts lambasted the decision, arguing that the tariffs severely penalize American industries, undermine trade agreements, and reflect poor economic judgment.

Observers predict lasting repercussions for international relations and domestic markets.

      That’s just what someone infected with the woke mind virus (i.e. in possession of at least two functioning brain cells) would say.

        I wouldn’t worry, with Trump we’ll all soon be infected with bird flu instead. Trump Flu, alongside Trump Inflation and a Trump Drought in California.

    No. YOU are losing. He’s almost dead and won’t live to see the long term outcome of what he’s doing. And the broligarchs he’s helping have enough money to live through all the oncoming misery.

    You, non ultrarich person living in the OS, on the other hand… You are fucked.

      What does fucked mean? It’s easy to say “we’re fucked”. But what is your actual prediction of how bad things will get?

        New world order where the US are a secondary player that nobody cares about.

        The reality is the US right now are completely expendable when it comes to the global market, and the turd is going to find out soon that we can live without US commerce, but US can’t live without world commerce.

      who the fuck bankrupts a casino?

      If you ask one of his diehard cultists, the answer is a genius businessman. Bankruptcy is just sticking it to the elites and bankers by not having to pay loans, not an indicator of total incompetence /s

    dumb

    I guess that nazi has finally become so overused that they had to resort to something else. But surely they could’ve come up with a better buzzword than “dumb”. It’s just a dumb term.
