  1. The rest of the world is building a wall around the United States and is making the Americans pay for it.

  4. I’d definitely take the weird laugh over syphilis brains bullshit anyday of the week.

  6. See, there’s no point in working with Trump to avoid tariffs because he’s always going to want something else.

  7. Trump is using tariffs to keep himself on top of the news cycle (and also to possibly manipulate the stock market). He literally has a world of opportunity to do it. He’s clearly mentally ill but is surrounded by his cult who cannot imagine a role for themselves without him.

  9. This will be the future with the US and it will be why nations are quietly pivoting away. We are all too exposed to the whims of a fucking idiot and a very poorly informed electorate.

  10. Trump’s tariffs aren’t an economic strategy – they’re just a really expensive temper tantrum.

  11. Mexico is a major produce exporter to the US, some people will starve if he puts 25% tariffs.

  12. Yeah I am really starting to get tired of hearing the word tariffs now after what has been happening literally the entire year SO FAR.

  13. In a few months when he decides to put the tarrifs back on (if he waits that long) he’s going to be really shocked when most of his former trading partners have spent the last three months forging strong trade deals with the rest of the world.

  14. The US could easily reclaim this water by simply banning the ridiculous practice of flood irrigation

  15. Oh, is it time for him to add some more tariffs so he can take them away again so him and his cronies can fill their pockets once more? 

  16. There will be a point when the many tariff threats for just about anything will be seen globally as “meh”.

  17. When all you have is a hammer…

    “I went to Subway… used to be a great restaurant… the best restaurant before BYYDEN. They gave me chicken instead of turkey. 500% tariffs on Subway.”

  18. Breaking treaties is a specialty of the US.

    Breaking trade agreements is a specialty of Trump.

  19. The presidency used as a weapon so egregiously is bizarre.

  20. Canada and Mexico reaching out to China asking about the great wall

  21. Has he tried letting them know that they don’t have the cards? 😂

  22. It’s going to be “I WANT X OR ELSE TARIFFS” for the next 4 years straight…

  24. Take note Canada 🇨🇦. Beautiful tap could be turned on !

  25. Ooooh, he found a stick he can hit people with. It makes him feel like such a manly man!

  27. Called it. Trump enacted tariffs, paused them, and is now threatening them again over something unrelated all within a week. He’s basically an economic terrorist trying to hold the whole world hostage

  29. Can we just go one day without threatening another country?!

  30. I’m an American, there’s fee thing Mexico can do that piss me off. Their restraint while dealing with our inbred cheeto shit stain is admirable.

    Mexico if I could bake you a casserole and deliver it with my apologies I would.

  31. Like, no shit Mexico isn’t sending the agreed on water: There’s not enough fucking water!

    Here in Albuquerque, we watch each year as the river keeps getting lower and lower.

    Also, fuck Texas.

  32. They have only delivered 30% of what they owe over a 5 year cycle and the due date is October. Not looking good that Mexico will be able to meet their obligation or even get close.

    Decency would say to work with them since they are having a draught. Trump administration and decency never go in the same sentence though so Mexico is likely hard fucked on this one.

  33. Ho no…

    Canada’s next. Why did he had to go there?

    Fun fact : In Quebec, water is a collectivelly owned ressource by law.

  35. I am wondering if Americans are actually feeling it in their day to day lives or are they being fed propaganda…

  36. Countries should band together to do a month long full boycott on US just to show they aren’t playing his game. I mean no trade what so ever.

    If they pull everything all at once from the US, the public (should) be rushing the white-house.

  37. America has become the bully on the block. Previously sanctions were used almost indiscriminately against anyone we disagreed with. While Tariffs were in our toolbox they weren’t used as negotiating tools to bully countries into submission. They weren’t used as tools to make boasting in Public about World leaders calling “kissing my ass” saying “I’ll do anything sir”. Imagine saying that about your own acquaintances, let alone business partners and colleagues.

  38. It’s like the dense mother fucker just learned a new word.

  39. Hope Mexico is working with other countries to push away from the U.S.
