  4. Cut off the power. They can figure it out clearly they are big boys.

  5. I hope Canada takes this even further beyond the tariffs and sanctions the US. And keep it all in place until Trump is out of office even if tariffs are lifted.

  6. What happens when you put an overgrown toddler in charge of the biggest economy on earth.

    At least we’ll get to see the fallout of his ridiculous approach to economics and foreign policy. There’s only one direction this train is going.

  7. What a stupid pissing match that he started for absolutely nothing.

  8. He was already raising these to 50%, he just moved up the time line a little bit

  9. Turn off the power, gents.
    They want to go back to when America was “great”? I hope they enjoy the 1800s

  10. There’s nothing markets love more than an unhinged lunatic who can’t even articulate the goal of his economic policy

  11. Don’t let this disctract you from the fact that for all we know, all of this is happening because Trump does not understand what a trade deficit is

  12. Holy shit he’s such a fucking idiot and is going to destroy America. someone needs to do something.

  14. Lol but that energy thing was already *our* retaliation – for the unprovoked 25% tariffs that HE STARTED . It made us even. Guess he wants things even worse, so be it.

  15. Yep, make steel and aluminium more expensive, I’m sure that’ll do wonders for US-based manufacturing.

  17. I was unboxing our HVAC equipment today after delivery.

    Made in Canada on most of it. Sorry consumers. We gotta pass that a long to you.

  18. Canada has the chance to do something funny like rising the energy duties more now

  19. Lmao the stock market was really recovering for 15 minutes and then Trump was like “well we can’t have that”

  20. The issue America faces is they have no choice in the short term but to buy the products and just increase the cost to the American consumer. Which is fine.

    Canada really needs to get it’s act together, remove internal trade barriers, and start selling their high quality aluminum to the Europeans.

    The global markets are resetting, and once they finish that reset the USA will be just another country. It’s a decline, and Trump accelerated it.

  21. It hasn’t even been 3 months, this shit is outta control

  22. Notice they frame this as retaliatory instead of laying in the bed he damn well made.

  23. You know all those conspiracy theories about how the CIA/FBI took out Kennedy because he was starting to fuck with their interests and talk about the MIC?

    Yeah… Trump sitting pretty in the White House with literally no opposition finally proves that they were indeed conspiracies and a load of nonsense.

  24. It makes me happy when people gets to experience exactly what they voted for. Way to go, US. Enjoy your Orange.

  25. hey conservatives, are you winning yet? Have you owned the libs yet? dumbasses

  26. In retaliation for Canada’s moves, Trump again hauls out US manufacturers and beats them with a baseball bat.

    “I can do this all day – and I’ll keep on doing it until you Canadians fall in line!”

  27. If it’s not abundantly clear that Trump is a foreign agent at this point, I’m not sure what is. He seems absolutely dead set on attacking his very closest allies for no valid reason whatsover. None. All the while letting Russia steamroll Ukraine. And apparently, planning on lifting sanctions.

    Now if Republicans can grow even a semblance of a backbone, that would be really great for the world and all.

  28. Me hardly able to afford basic needs and rent:

    Yeah, that’ll show em! Let’s make everything worse!

    Yippie!

  29. The MAGA cult who doesn’t understand tariffs and who don’t have a stock portfolio, are loudly cheering USA USA USA.

  30. My portfolio is down 10% in a few weeks after he took over. Last time he ran the country, it took all 4 years of his term to lose 10%. At this rate my lifesavings will be gone soon. Fortunately under Biden my portfolio had gained 20%, so I have a small buffer

  31. He’s taxing America. Not Canada.

    MAGA elected a dumb fuck and will never be able to block out this noise.

    The Deranged leading the hopeless.

  32. Here in the UK Liz truss destroyed the conservative parties reputation for being the best on the economy , and it’s not coming back for a long time

    I think the same might happen in the us with the republicans

    Has always been a bit of a myth anyway they were better for the economy , they usually just inherit a good one from the democrats then fuck it up

  33. How are you all not rebelling? Where are the protests? Have you all given up? This lunatic is destroying your country and bringing everybody around you down with it.

    I can’t believe I am living in the age that America ends.

  35. Man he is really upset about Melania flirting with Trudeau isn’t he

  36. Remember when people were saying electing a woman is risky because of mood swings?

    This Orange Dolt has mood swings every nanosecond. 

  37. Lackey: Canada is charging us more for electricity.

    Trump: Oh yeah? Well, we are going to charge ourselves more for the aluminum we buy from Canada.

    Lackey: Genius! That’ll show them!
