Yet another under the radar way these idiotic and pointless tariffs will hurt the USA, making us less efficient and modern 

 

https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/how-tariffs-could-shock-americas-power-system-44c17e86

 

Tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as steel and aluminum tariffs, could increase transformer prices, potentially delaying investments in America's power grid.

The power industry is already facing a transformer shortage, and tariffs could exacerbate the problem, leading to higher electricity prices.

If tariffs lead to a reshoring of energy-intensive industries, it could further increase power demand and put additional strain on the grid.

Stock market in the toilet today 

Brutal day. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that the TRUMP 2.0 markets outperform the BRANDON markets as they did during DJT 1.0.

Yup, let's hope our economy survives TRUMP's  2.0 heavy taxation, disastrous trade policy, uptake in unemployment, falling consumer spending  and general infantile actions. 

 

Harris wouldn't have done those stupid things, she would of been better for economy

For sure! Price gouging would be a thing of the past. Hard to believe democrats sh*t the bed so badly, isn’t it? I can’t figure out how they did it.

Be nice to have a steady hand on the economy instead of this infant who already bankrupted so many things already

Trump is setting you up for a fantastic presidential victory for your first woman president in 2028. So take heart, it should give you great joy that he's setting the table for you and you'll get that great political genius of our time, KAMALA HARRIS!

The women who would not have started a stupid, ignorant and disastrous trade war. 

 

Trump's tariffs are an economy killer. Look at the stock market, falling, look at bitcoin, falling but hey! Cheer up you loser POS, unemployment is ticking up! Oh ya, Make America Poor Again!

This is where it’s generally advised to take a wait and see approach though I know that you prefer knee-jerk reactions. Perhaps the 10k Mexican troops will have a positive impact. Perhaps not. Perhaps trade parameters will be reworked in a way favorable to the US. Perhaps not. Time will tell. You imagine that you have the answers already. One reason why you have been wrong about EVERYTHING. Seriously, your track record sucks balls. 

 

We still waiting and seeing or are we allowed to have a reaction yet?

Six weeks is plenty of time to make a final judgement. PANIC!!

The same MAGAs criticizing Zelenskyy for not taking a deal with Trump are celebrating Trump violating a deal (USMCA) that he made. Constantly talking out of both sides of their mouth.

 

And I have already seen MAGAs talking about unfair tariffs from Mexico and Canada as justification for Trump reneging on a deal he called ”terrific” when he signed it…those tariffs were part of the deal that Trump celebrated.

 

Let’s all enjoy this massive recession as Putin smiles.

Canada is playing this wrong. Trump's tariffs hurt Americans and Canada.

Canada should not put tariffs on. Canada must just stop buying US products. 

No cars, no food, no plastics, nothing...The world has these products, China can make them, Europe has them, Mexico has them, South America has them. 

Canada should place a premium on fertilizers fir US farmers, on beef, on wood, on steel, on aluminum over and above the tariffs.

China needs our resources, Europe needs them, uranium is needed in Europe and South America. 

Canada  must understand, we are not dealing with the same country we had a relationship with for 150 years. We are dealing with a giant friend of Putin. We are dealing with a country who is under going a revolution, not just an economic revolution.

Cisco, Juniper, HPE, and Fortinet all announcing 15-25% price hikes effective immediately. This will be a major problem as all of these will be passed through to the consumer.

 

Trump better already have shovels in dirt if he’s expecting any of these companies to move production to the U.S., it would take at minimum 18mos for a facility to be up and running, let along the hiring process.

These tariffs are merely a negotiating tactic used with the intent of bringing other parties to the table. Most likely, in a week or two the issues both real and perceived will be resolved. And all parties will kiss and make up.

 

If the US wanted to take a "kill shot" at Canada or Mexico they would impose economic sanctions which would make it impossible for those countries to execute financial transactions in US dollars, freeze the assets of the Bank of Canada and the central bank of Mexico in custody at the NY Federal Reserve, and impose penalties and sanctions or fines on US and foreign companies doing business with Canada and Mexico.

 

If you're an investor interested in Canadian stocks like oil producers Suncor and Canadian Natural Resources, or fertilizer producer Nutrien, or uranium producer Cameco to name some names, these tariffs and the obligatory stock market panic (its institutional investors here) should be viewed as a one-time gift. Share prices have taken a hit and anyone with a time horizon greater than 3 days might want to buy small lots of 25 or 50 shares to start in these companies. When the tariffs are removed they'll bounce right back.

Trump has stated that he plans on using economic force to annex Canada. Why is this so hard to comprehend?

 

This isn’t a negotiation, it’s the beginning of an attempted takeover.

I don't think so. Make an outrageous ridiculous demand and then ask for something relatively more reasonable.

Like your kid saying I'll be home tonight at 3 AM and you say hell no. And they say how about midnight? It's a negotiating tactic.
