I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups. Democratic nations need to cut the US out of the global economy entirely until they learn how to act right.

Apologies if there’s any weirdness in this post, it’s my first one.

    I suspect these announcements by Trump are nothing but stock market scams with a whole bunch of insider trading going on.

    Trump removed tariffs from Mexico and Canada after a few days. We’ll see what happens with this

      He removed them for nothing. He was tricked. Both Canada and Mexico agreed to do things they were already going to do and Trump folded.

        USian here. It really didn’t matter - his friendly media repeated the lie that he forced those bad old countries to beef up drug and immigration enforcement via his big strong negotiation style. The fact that it’s nonsense has no bearing on the political reality here, sadly.

        there were stock market movements based on what Trump said

        people who have insider knowledge would be able to make a lot of money on that
