Tariffs - genius or the beginning of the end?

You're missing some options

The only option I missed was hypocrisy, but you supplied it.

Thanks for playing.

Please clarify.

Thanks for being so specific.

I'll take that as an admission by you that either: 1) Biden never got Mexico to send 10k new troops to the border back in 2021, or 2) if he did, those troops were long ago recalled/withdrawn.

Maybe

Well, they're going to the border now, so.

I have my doubts how effective the troops will be, but at least its a start.

Question now is, how fast does Canada capitulate?

Also ends the question of my new Ford Maverick being tariffed coming in when its built.

Honestly not sure if it would have been tariffed as its an American country producing a vehicle in Mexico.

Orange man tariffs bad.

Bernie Sanders tariffs good. https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/25/polit...ntv/index.html

But Ona said tariffs are a tax on the poor!

Is Bernie against the poor?

All about the D or R in front of their name.

Tarriffs for me, but not for thee.

Well founded doubts. Bad deal to blow a tariff card on

It would have been tariffed unless a special exemption were granted.

Canada folded like a cheap suit.

Today’s score is Trump 2 and Globalists 0.

Attention liberals please pick up the orange bat phone. This is an emergency.

“I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.

In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.

Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.“
