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.
If you are a Canadian or Mexican please contact your representatives and have them do a more targeted tariff plan. Target American red states directly! Oil tariffs should be universal but anything made in red states and counties should have a 100% tariff. Force industry and goods to flow through blue areas and Trump’s support will crumble.
Wow they BLASTED him?!?!? That’s sounds intense. Call me old fashioned but I like a good SLAM. It just feels more like winning. \s
Serious question.
If republicans are so up-in-arms about this, what’s stopping them from passing a bill nullifying this bullshit with Democrat help? They would easily have enough to pass a bill and override his veto. If they’re not willing to do that, they’re not as upset as they claim to be.
with Democrat help
Modern GOP strategy essentially says “never cooperate with dems”. They’ve been The Party of No for over 20 years.
“If he was for it,” former Ohio Senator George Voinovich explained, “we had to be against it.”
I know. I’m just saying they could if they wanted to. I’m under no illusions that any of these people have a spine.
Saying they could get over it and work with dems is kinda like saying a person with stolkholm syndrome can just get over it and defy their captor. It’s a mental condition, but in this case, they did it to themselves voluntarily.
They would let trump fuck their wives if he said it was to own the libs
We’re losing while this buffoon flexes his tiny-brain power in a completely ignorant attempt to appear strong while simultaneously kneecapping the citizens of the US. While it’d be great if it just f’d the people who voted for him it unfortunately will affect all us while he tanks the economy in some attempt to “reset” it like he did for himself in his multiple bankruptcies. Problem is that he had an economy, money, and assets in the bank to return to when he came out of bankruptcy, the citizens won’t because it doesn’t work like that for a country. Him and the billionaires will be fine, they’ll just carve the country up in the resulting fire sale.
He’s only losing if you consider him to be playing for Team America.
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.

50 States, 50 Protests, 1day
Feb 5 @ your downtown.
Pass the word!
Doesn’t link anywhere for me. Also, I’m very iffy of anyone organizing on Facebook.
Edit: Found some other sources for 50501. I’ll be at my capital this Wednesday.
Also, those demands are too wide-ranging and open-ended IMO. They need to be more specific and focused.
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.
obviously he’s losing. he’s a fucking loser. this is what he does. he only ever wins games he rigs. even then the gravitational pull of his loser energy is inescapable. who the fuck bankrupts a casino?
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.
Says the guy who pretends Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute.
