Trump Says U.S. Will Impose Massive Tariffs On Mexico, Canada And China From Day 1
- Thread starter bazokajoe
- Start date
Our Government should bring up with Donny Boy the fact that Canadians are being killed by the US guns that are being smuggled into Canada:

This should be a bargaining chip against the USA, and not just the Americans interest!!
'How gold becomes guns': heist spotlights illegal US-Canada gun trade
The majority of handguns used in Canadian crimes come from the US, where gun laws are much more lax.

But I still cannot understand why the righties are cheering Trump for threatening to impose these tariffs!!
There is quite a possibility that Trump will say that he already got Canada to impose those stricter border controls that will now prevent the migrants and fentanyl from coming to the USA.
Hence, now there is no need for those tariffs. This is a possible scenario, as many of the Republican States that depend on trade with Canada will oppose these tariffs!!

It is clearly a negotiating position, and has garnered Trudeau's attention, who already has gone groveling to his master. I suspect 25% won't be the final position, but it may not be 0 either.
It could only be any negotiation position if there was something to negotiate. Since there is no real influx of people from Canada into the United States, nor is there an influx of fentanyl, there is absolutely nothing to fucking negotiate.
If Trump can not honor the USMCA he signed, what is the point of negotiating?
Oh really?
U.S. northern border crossings break record in 2024
Data gathered by the CBP shows 18,644 foreign nationals were apprehended in May while attempting to enter the U.S. illegally from Canada.

And here is a little more. I though you Liberals were educated and smart. You can't even do a little google search to avoid looking dumb.
Jamie Sarkonak: Trump is right that Trudeau needs to clean up the border
Fair or not, Canada faces a Trump government willing to economically waterboard us into a recession come January. We need to act accordingly

I am not a liberal although I like that you imply that conservatives are not educated and smart. And by the way here is what the NP article you referred to says:And here is a little more. I though you Liberals were educated and smart. You can't even do a little google search to avoid looking dumb.

When you zoom out, none of these harsh words from Trump are fair. Canada’s problems are real and growing, but at the scale of a sprouting dandelion. Mexico, on the other hand, is an oak tree. Whatever our faults, we certainly don’t deserve tariffs. And it’s not like the U.S. border has treated us well over the years, either: migrants, guns and drugs find their way northward as well, and you don’t see us threatening our neighbours for it.
I wouldn't be surprised if people can change Trump's mind simply by just reminding him how "amazing" a free trade deal he negotiated with the USMCA.
p.s. Can't understand how anyone can think that massive tariffs will somehow help the US economy or think it won't cause massive inflation.

Certainly Trump is exaggerated the problem, but one exists, just not significant compared to the US/Mexico border. As to implying that conservatives are not educated and smart, there is nothing in what I said to imply that, other than Liberals aren't all that smart period, they just think they are.
Who is Trudeau's "Master"?
It is not just Canada, but also The EU and other G20 Nations that are just perplexed with these tariff threats!!
In the end, if fully implemented, then expect inflation to move into the wrong direction.
But remember that when the USMCA was being negotiated, Congress would not pass that Bill unless Canada was included.
Chrystia Freeland stood her ground!!
But I am expecting that not all Canadian goods will be subject to the tariffs if they are implemented.
No doubt that even if the tariffs are shrunk to small percentages, then expect Trump to boast about it to his usual base!!
And Trump declares "victory" and folds his cards..... 
A thought just came up. Instead of trying to stop people from entering the country [which he knows he can't do short of East German or Best Korea methods] he wants Canada and Mexico to stop people from leaving their countries... like East Germany or Best Korea.
Not a good look.
Not a good look.
I wonder what Claudia offered to stop US consumption. Maybe lacing all the coke with lethal doses of fentanyl?
Clown show! lmao.
Wow if he believes she has the ability to make good on that promise he is a bigger mook than his followers.
If he doesn't believe it, grifter is gonna grift his cult.
IF energy costs go down? HOW do you think Trump or anyone is going to lower the price of electricity? Seriously.
Has the cost of engineering gone down? Has the cost of heavy construction gone down? Has the cost of labour to build new electrical plants gone down? Has anyone found a new river to build a new hydroelectric dam in the United States? Have the dotard 'muricans changed their attitude towards nuclear power being safe or clean? Do any States want to host nuclear power plants or host the storage of nuclear waste? Have ANY of the dozens of small, local modular factory-built nuclear micro plant startups done anything except raise and burn investor cash?
Will the cost of natural gas go down to fuel gas electrical generation plants?
Have actual, real world costs of generating electricity by wind turbines and solar even come close to that of existing, PAID FOR power plants? Whaddabout the materials science dead end we are at with lithium and other energy storage options like gravity water pumping etc?
None of this even includes the massive infrastructure upgrades that would have to be planned for, including expropriating land and creating easements for new transmission lines etc. FFS, Floribama, Loseranya, Texas still can't manage to have transmission systems durable enough to withstand the yearly hurricanes.
Are you hoping that the 'Stable Genius' Trump will discover some new physics or what exactly, or generally, do you think Trump or anyone will or can do to lower the cost of electricity in the United States? Not to mention to even think of catching up with CHYNAH who have been busy as beavers slapping up the biggest hydro dam on the planet, building coal powered plants faster than Toronto condo builders for the past decade.
And here you are saying "IF" Trump can lower energy costs then all will be peachy! I thought all you Trumpers mocked that Hopey attitude of Obamas? <wink>
Not so simple as he makes you beleive is it?
