Tariffs

[Methais]

This does not disprove the fact that those tariffs would hurt the average American economically. The pres even said so himself.

I'm glad they found a solution. Ironically we can thank president Sheinbaum for keeping the price of avocados and tequila from going up.

Tariffs were what brought her to the negotiating table because she knew that would hurt Mexico way more than it would hurt the US. That was literally Trump's objective, and now Mexico is sending 10k troops to their border to lock shit down, and tariffs are paused as a result while they work out a deal that will likely be beneficial for both countries.

Why is this so monumentally difficult for you to wrap your head around instead of always being like HuRrRrRrR hUrRrRrRrR tArIfFs ArE gOiNg To RuIn TeH eCoNoMy!!!!i!i!i!i!i!i!111

We'll get to see a trial of it in action. Canada is choosing to "go to war" and get into a tit for tat with the US, while Mexico is choosing to work with the US.

Let's see what happens.

And that literally took an hour... before Canada capitulated. Trudeau posted on X that they are meeting Trump's demands.

You can now relax, Backlash and cLyDeR.. this is what happens when you have effective leadership in the White House.

How does Mexico's troop surge differ from the surge they undertook in 2021 at Biden's request, without tariff threats, except that this time the U.S. agreed to stop illegal gun smuggling from the U.S. into Mexico?

WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) - Mexico has doubled its detentions of migrants with a deployment of 10,000 troops to its southern border, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Monday, as Washington leans on regional governments to help slow arrivals at the U.S. border.

Trump said that Canada could get out of the tariffs by becoming the 51st state, something I previously said would be a great idea. But it seems that Canadians did not find Trump's courtship methods to be persuasive. Canada was never very likely to agree to become the 51st state. Now it's even less likely.

Canadian hockey and basketball fans are booing the U.S. national anthem at games. Liquor stores in Ontario are taking American booze off their shelves. Do you know what it takes to make Canadians this mad at you?

It’s different because this time we’re actually going to prevent illegal entry into our country.

“The number of Border Patrol encounters at the southern border in the first three days of the Trump administration is 35% lower than the final three days of the Biden administration, the sources said.”

In before Back and ClydeR come back with some idiotic spewing about how Biden deported so many people.

Is that what you are calling the truth these days?

It's what rational people call anything coming from you. You could literally say the sky was blue and water was wet and it come out as an idiotic mess.
