Trump​ ❤️ Tariffs

[B-Man]

 

TIRED YET? NOT YET? 

 

Look Who’s Folding Under Trump’s Tariff Pressure

 

 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed confidence that Canada would remove its tariffs on U.S. goods if President Donald Trump ends his trade war.

Speaking with CNBC’s Ross Sorkin on Wednesday morning, Ford responded to a question about Canada’s $60 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American imports, suggesting that the ball is in Trump’s court.

 

Ford is currently the chair of Canada’s Council of the Federation of premiers and has participated in bilateral discussions with U.S. officials in the past. However, it should be noted that the tariffs placed on some U.S. goods are ultimately the responsibility of the federal government.

“We’d be willing to take those off tomorrow, if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem,” Ford said.

Last month, the U.S. introduced a global 25 per cent tax on all steel and aluminum imports. Before that, Trump imposed a blanket 25 per cent tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico, but later exempted items that are compliant under the North American free trade pact, although that exemption is set to expire on Wednesday.

 

Meanwhile, it looks like Mexico is backing down, too. According to Reuters, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Wednesday that Mexico has no plans to impose retaliatory tariffs on the United States just ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected tariff announcement.

$30 trillion gone from the economy and you’re being all cute and snobby as usual. 
 

Eventually you’ll drop off the thread like you did with my thread about the Trump administration sending an innocent man to the gulag. Even you couldn’t defend that. 

You seem to be against buying the dips in April but were all over it in August. Why is that?

 

I will try to engage more in the threads that are important to you. Please accept my apologies for not joining sufficiently in the outrage of the day.

Summers is obviously correct. 

 

These things are dynamic. Raise tariffs. That will suppress spending. Suppress spending, retail jobs will drop. Retail jobs drop, commercial real estate drops. Spending goes down, state sales tax revenue goes down. GDP drops, or rises a percent or two or five lower than it otherwise would. The federal tax base falls, deficits rise.

 

These clowns have no idea what they're doing.

The April “dip” didn’t include deliberate trade warfare with every single one of our allies.

 

It’s cute how you consider one of the biggest acts of economic sabotage in U.S. history to be “the outrage of the day.”

Ok so let me understand...

 

Trump imposes tariffs on steel, aluminum and cars made in Canada.  Canada places counter tariffs.  

 

Now Ford is saying he will take off Canadian tariffs (over which he has no authority) if Trump removes the tariffs on steels, cars and aluminum.

 

What is the win? Will the hotels and tourist attractions in Vermont which have lost tons of Canadian tourists as a result of the boycott get a win as well?

 

Help me understand.

You are prone to dramatics. A few weeks ago you declared “global economic meltdown” on a run of the mill down day for the markets. Embarrassing. You believe “torture” took place at Logan Airport. Equally embarrassing. I imagine your penchant for dramatics is because you have no meaningful experience outside of the “progressive” bubble that you inhabit. Having been around a bit, I am not prone to dramatics. We’ll see how it plays out. I will join you, pitchfork in hand, for the next midterms if that’s what is called for. Until then, something about coping and seething.

It's just conspiracy theories for you.

Honest question, do you actually read news?

Can you post an example? I’ve got plenty of time so no rush. Good luck with your search.

Just read what Trump wrote. His brain is toast. He thinks fentanyl is legal.

Not true, according to @B-Man - he works so hard - 7 days a week.

 

You're so mean.

Scott Bessent sounds like a stuttering fool on CNN trying to justify the idiot tariffs.

This guy definitely has multiple DUIs if his insurance is $250 a month at age 24. 
 

It also explains why he’s a whiny piss baby
