Trump starts trade war with Canada labeling them a national security threat

[tweaker2]

They're not any good at being careful of the company they keep.

So true. They've also got the Nazis and the KKK cheering Trump on. What a morally and ethically ethnically pure concerned group of patriotic citizens they are. One big happy family that are all led around by their nose rings by a narcissistic pathological liar who openly admires dictators like Putin, Kim Jong Un and Duterte.

And I don't believe for a second that things can't get worse than that.

LMAO!

We take our defense seriously up here.

Sorry. I keep forgetting.

We must all realize that there are millions of fellow Americans that are cheering Trump on and wish they could pat him on the back for the turmoil and disruption that he is causing among our most trusted allies.

And we must also realize that there are millions more Russians that a cheering Trump on for the very same reasons.

Heh, who knew that millions of Americans who would normally consider Russia as our hated and feared adversary, actually side with those Russians who are cheering Trump on as he causes grief and dismay among our longtime loyal allies.

So patriotic of our American Trump loyalsits to side with the Russians in this way.

Congrats.

Yes this example illustrates my post in another thread quite nicely. The white "nationalists" are coming together from both countries. They are joined in their goal of destabilization and rebuilding from the ashes.

Canada IS a national security threat, they probably have a secret army of beavers ready to invade us at the snap of justin trudeau's fingers.

We tried a similar strategy before but Pamela Anderson, Shania Twain, Celine Dion etc... got too old waiting. So we took over Vegas instead.

I should have been specific and stated that I mean on a per capita basis.

Canada is a tiny county on a population basis yet their pollution can literally be seen from space.

 

[FIVR]

Trump is correcting that as fast as he can though right
Soon the US will be raining acid again

Indeed. He has given license for the states who want to pollute to do so.


The better states won't pollute anymore even if Trump allows them because they are full of mostly decent people. West Virginia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, etc etc will all be ****ed tho. We all pay for the air pollution but the dumping that goes on in those sorts of states is even more heinous.

Even with that your statement is still inaccurate. Perhaps it would help to tell us what you’re basing that on?

Trade war: Mexico pork tariff threats push Iowa losses to $560 million

Iowa pork producers already dealing with a 25 percent tariff on U.S. pork exports to China could face another trade hit, with Mexico considering a 20 percent tariff on hams and pork shoulders.

Growing trade worries have cut pork prices in recent weeks, costing Iowa producers about $560 million, said Dermot Hayes, an Iowa State University economist.

Mexico is the largest export market for U.S. pork, based on volume.

Mexico bought $1.5 billion of U.S. pork last year, followed by China-Hong Kong at nearly $1.1 billion.

The tariffs are "potentially devastating news for Iowa’s pig farmers and the rural Iowa economy," said Gregg Hora, president of the Iowa Pork Producers Association.

If the Mexicans hit corn as well IA really going to be taking it in the shorts.

If Iowans want their money back, who are they going to vote for? It might not be Democrats.

Somebody should tell Democrats they've become the free trade party

That some Dems favor protectionism isn't new. That they'd be the prevailing view of the party, should it gain power, of this point is less likely I think if still uncertain. Either way if the Rs stand around let Trump go full trade war and mortally wound the ag economy they're are going to be changes. Maybe some independents run and win.

 

[Commodus]

These retaliatory tariffs help encapsulate the problem with Trump in a nutshell. He's a short-sighted, simplistic man trying to tackle an inherently complex political situation. He thinks he can fix everything with a snap of his fingers, but it's more likely to end up spectacularly broken. And when it does, he'll still point fingers at everyone else except himself.

[MrSquished]

The time for protectionism has come and gone. The global economy has been set. We should have done something about it while American capitalists were selling the soul of this country to China for the price of a piece of pie. Instead we did nothing and chose corporate profits over our own citizens. Again.

So now all Trump can do is cause damage with a trade war among allies - and so down that road he goes like an inept bumbling fool, taking the country with him, while his base laughs and giggles at it all, oblivious in their ignorance.

No wonder the Russians wanted him elected, and Trumps treasonous base cheers him on. His major foreign economic achievement is starting a trade war with our biggest allies. You can't make this shit up folks.

People vote incumbents out when they aren't happy with status quo.

 

[Ottonomous]

It might not be his stupidity or protectionism.

I am willing to bet he has his investments structured according to his presidential decisions
