What’s the point of negotiating, when one side keeps arbitrarily attacking via the same, illegal means?
This is exactly why Canada should just tear up CUSMA and just wait another 24 months. You can’t deal with a bad faith partner.
Serious question, does that clown really want to create the biggest economic crisis ever?
If he doesn’t think it will affect him personally, he doesn’t care what happens.
Imagine a large sandbox where children play together. Then one big bully and his cronies show up to stomp all the sand castles and confiscate the shovels and buckets, saying his dad owns the playground. If a kid gives him a nickel, the kid gets the tools back. Nobody has a good time. Kids stop showing up. They meet somewhere else now. Everyone hates that bully. The bully doesn‘t care because he got a few nickels out of burning these bridges.
Trump is a playground bully who uses his position to bully people into making him gifts. And he probably thinks he‘s very clever doing that. He is perfectly aware his actions are destroying trillions of dollars in economic damages but the occasional bribe here and deal there have made him a billionaire. For all he cares the USA can burn to the ground along with the rest of the world. He‘s getting his bag like the criminal he is.
He already has. It takes a few years for these changes to play out. When the shit hits the fan, Americans will vote for the other guys to clean up, and when they can’t in 2 years, they’ll throw these bums back in. Rinse, wash, repeat.
Guys, you might call me a conspiracy theorist but it occurred to me that this might be the only method of negotiating he knows, and it’s not even a good one. He might not be the brilliant master diplomat he always claims to be.
- Throws a tantrum at a country he doesn’t like
- Makes Americans pay more for goods
- Art of the deal
He doesn’t have the needed empathy and emotional intelligence to negotiate. Bullying is the only thing he can do
🤯
Trump only cares for himself and his most loyal base. He doesn‘t care how it affects the US or the world at large. He uses tariffs for market manipulation and incentivizing bribes from companies who want to be excluded from his nonsense. The keyword is gold statue. I am convinced he‘s a much more simple, pathetic guy than most people realize.
The tariffs are on us. Other countries don’t pay shit for Trump’s foolishness.
EDIT: This specific foolishness.
What exactly does this do besides making americans pay more for stuff?
I’m not sure why I am asking for logic…
The rubes think he’s sticking it to the other countries. Then when costs go up they believe it’s the democrat’s fault.
All part of the plan
Mocking the Supreme Court once more? 😜
Somehow I feel they should fine him this time. Just a billion or two…
