  1. Like captain Doritos gives a shit about anyone’s job….. all he cares about is himself, his billionaire cronies and his ego

  2. yeah, well, Trump job is also on the line, who will he choose you think?

  3. Trump is trying to use economic pressure to drive the entire developed world into authoritarianism.

    Democratic countries now need to band together and develop new trading, military, and cultural relationships like never before…

  4. You’re talking about a man who runs the WH like a series of The Apprentice… 

  5. Bullying your allies is a stupid way to lose credibility instantly., especially when your actions make no economic sense.

    The most worrisome thing as a Canadian is that tariffs on Mexico and Canada will probably cause skyrocketing prices in the US, and Trump will angrily blame us for his actions. And his followers in their special needs MAGA caps will nod their heads without a second thought.

  6. They still don’t get it. Trumpists don’t care, it’s a big American sale of ALL to oligarchs.

  7. Trump tax is intended to harm the US; why do people expect him to be reasonable?

  8. They funded him so they chose this. Any statements in the mean time are just theatrics.

  9. Are they just pushing back in the media, or are they actually communicating this with the Trump White House? It just seems like nobody can breakthrough the armada of “yes men” surrounding this fucking buffoon. It’s like ever since Trump started publicly ruminating about tariffs against our neighbors and (former) allies that everyone just accepted it as inevitable and there’s never been any resistance whatso-fucking-ever by people who have vested interests or a powerful voice.

    I keep saying this, but this is fucking insane! I am so sick of the normalization and sanewashing of everything this man does. “Well Americans might have to pay a little more…”. For fuck’s sake, this could cause an economic depression!!

  10. Maybe you should have thought about this before supporting him, dimwits.

  11. Export tariff on Canadian oil at 50%, the US can’t refine most of their new oil they pump, their refineries are predominantly geared to heavy sour crude… trade war will be over in 3 days when gas prices skyrocket $2/gallon. FAFO

  12. Ask Marie Antoinette what happens when those in power leave people in desperate situations

  13. We’re already making plans to open our garage as a neighbourhood soup kitchen if it comes to it, (I’m hoping we can talk the Rotary Club into letting us use their building at the park but we aren’t there yet).

    We live in a small town just outside Toronto and my community is making preparations. I’ve worked in production cooking, we have farmers, a local mill and an abattoir already offering to help with donations.

    Friends who have never grown so much as a houseplant are planning a backyard garden this year, they figure it will be good for their kids to learn how to grow their own food.

    Live your lives but remember there are generations that will look back upon your actions and judge you for them, economic fascism is still fascism.

  14. Guess Big Energy is firmly in the FO part of the story arc now.

  15. Ooooo big energy getting big mad? They utilize the best dl operators.

  16. Oh, NOW the energy industry cares about jobs? Yeah, their jobs

  17. And by ‘Energy Industry’ they mean ‘Oil Industry’.

  18. That’s Trumps and the GOP plan. Hurt as many people as possible.

  19. That’s the point. I hope he destroys the lives of many of his voters. Maybe some of them will start to think a bit before voting.

  20. Trump I could have reasonably been presumed a fluke.

    Trump II means the US and its voters are irrevocably broken.

    The rest of the world needs to reconfigure itself so that the US does not occupy such a central position (to the extent possible).

    Do not get fooled on the off chance that a sane person becomes president after Trump.

    Because Trump’s party is every bit as vile as the man himself. And that party will bring all the same chaos, corruption and Russian fealty every time it swings to power.
