MAGA regime threatens new 100% tariffs on Canada

The maga regime was outclassed and humiliated by the leader of Canada,,, who is not the Governor, so he is throwing another tariff tantrum. What’s next?

  • Herr Trump is suing the polling firms because he doesn't like their results. Absolutely cannot make this stuff up....
    US President Donald Trump said he will include the Times Siena Poll in his ongoing lawsuit against The New York Times, calling it “fake” and biased toward Democrats. He accused major media outlets of publishing fraudulent polls to influence elections.

  • Yeah, go ahead and add that poll to your bogus lawsuit, Donnie -- because once again, your slip is showing, and you're too embarrassed to admit it.

    Grampa can't let anything go, be it yesterday, last week, last year, or years ago. He just craves chaos and by stirring thing up he's guaranteed that people will be talking about him, which totally satisifies his ego. It's like everything said against him this week went in one ear and out the other while in Davos .... but when he got back to DC, he spent all night watching TV coverage praising Carney's speech, stewing, simmering, and after returning from a midnight pee thought, "huh, that Mark Carney is a bad man, how dare he not like me, so I'm going to attack Canada again." Pathetic.

    Go ahead and tariff Canada 100% Donnie. See how many new homes get built without cheap wood. This will do wonders for your 'affordability' campaign, right? Such a super business jenius!

    All he cares about is himself, his ego, his optics, full stop.

    @rforno +1 on the impact of losing Canada's wood products.

    @rforno, good comment on the end of importing Canada's wood products. Where does he and his moronic sidekicks think most of the lumber here comes from?

    “The Lumber Fairy. People are saying ‘sir, she’s a beautiful provider of all things lumber. You must meet her sometime…”

    Sorry, I am using snarky cynicism to obscure the underlying rage and anger I am feeling today about things political ….

  • This will cause gasoline prices in the midwest to go much higher due to the amount of gasoline imported from Alberta. Will he go out like his idol William McKinley??
  • TACOs will be on the menu until this guy flames out altogether.

  • Americans will just love the new price of toilet paper if this goes through.

    But seriously, I'm trying to figure out where the TACO trade is on this nonsense. Earlier in the week Trump was congratulating Canada for the deal. Makes me wonder who got to Trump, and what their grift is.
  • He will likely chicken out on all or most of this proposed tariff.

    Trump's threat came amid an escalating war of words with Carney as the Republican president's push to acquire Greenland strained the NATO alliance. Trump had commented while in Davos, Switzerland, this week that "Canada lives because of the United States." Carney shot back that his nation can be an example that the world does not have to bend toward autocratic tendencies.

    Trump later revoked his invitation to Carney to join the president's "Board of Peace" that he is forming to try to resolve global conflicts.

    Trump's push to acquire Greenland has come after he has repeatedly needled Canada over its sovereignty and suggested it also be absorbed the United States as a 51st state.
  • Trump later revoked his invitation to Carney to join the president's "Board of Peace"

    Well, that saved Carney a quick Billion dollars. I'll bet that he's not real unhappy about the whole thing.
  • Carney had to renounce two other citizenships to take the job he now has. That's a big price to pay. It was not REQUIRED by law. It was politically smart. Carney is THE MAN, now. The US and its leadership are, sadly, the joke.
