If I recall, Musk did announce that the plan was to cause a recession (at least), so yes, rich people will have lots of buying opportunities if they accomplish that.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days. Edit: The tariff war has begun.
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
Yes. That's basically it.
You can think about it as the Andrew Mellon quote from the Depression.
“Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate farmers, liquidate real estate. It will purge the rottenness out of the system. High costs of living and high living will come down. People will work harder, live a more moral life. Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people.”
I think the President can bypass Congress if the tariffs are in response to an emergency.
One of the reasons Trump just keep saying things are emergencies.
No way possible we are shipping anything close to what Mexico is shipping.
In fact I'd say more drugs and guns come from the US.
We've had this conversation before and this is where I say "But the emergency must be a credible one and not a nonsensical one".
The prior decision involved Nixon placing trade restrictions on Japanese imports and that was a credible emergency. Placing tariffs on Canada over a couple of lbs of fentanyl is not.
You may have gathered from my other posts that I believe Trump is no longer mentally competent. I believe his entourage has convinced him that he can cut back the civil service radically, impose tariffs on the rest of the world and abolish income tax. Finding pretences to tariff every other country is part of this demented, nonsensical bullshit scheme.
It's clearly non-workable, fantasy world insanity.
LoL...he's gonna make deals... Had Crombie won, she's gonna fight Trump every step of the way...that's the current democrat playbook and they are imploding...HOw are you feeling by the way... you ok at least?
Crombie lost in Mississauga? LoL.
And this is where I point out there is no mechanism requiring that.
It isn't like Canada where the government has to submit justification for declaring an emergency.
The best you are going to get is bringing it to the courts and they can always say "it's a political question, not our problem".
It's only a bullshit scheme if Congress or the Courts stop him.
That is one of the things Trump has wished for, yes.
He's been saying he wants to use the insurrection act so he can deploy the US army against American citizens for some time.
Trump's thoughts on Pee Pee. I am curious if the MAGA board members will jump on board and diss Pee Pee now.
Trump's reply? Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre needs to more fully embrace Trump.
"I think his biggest problem is he's not a MAGA guy, you know? I mean, he's really not. He's not a Trump guy at all," the U.S. president replies.
"Pierre, I just don't know. I don't like what he's saying about me. It's just not positive about me."
Trump is threatening to batter Canada's economy with a variety of tariffs and has repeatedly mused about pressuring it to become the 51st U.S. state. Like the Liberals, Poilievre promised he would retaliate with counter-tariffs.
Trump lamented that many people talk tough about him, then learn to regret it.
"They all make that mistake. You know. They think they're going to be the tough guy and they're going to knock out Trump, and they end up getting the hell beat out of 'em."

That's another 20% polling hit to PeePee.
He's already lost the real Canadians because he's a spineless Trump ass licker. This will cost him the Maple Magas and he'll be left with single digit polling and no seats in the House at all.
If Trump had half a brain he'd build PeePee up in order to get an ass licker as PM. But Trump's too stupid to see the plays.
His deals are with Shoppers, american private health clinics and american developers.LoL...he's gonna make deals... Had Crombie won, she's gonna fight Trump every step of the way...that's the current democrat playbook and they are imploding...HOw are you feeling by the way... you ok at least?

The one exception is Ontario Place
So far, the courts are ruling against him - aside from some of the firings cases.
They have.
And he appears to have been ignoring them in some cases.
One court even ordered them to provide proof that the funds had been restored.
The Supreme Court weighed in and waived that deadline, which means we will soon see if the Supreme Court is going to say the Administration can't be bound by lower court orders (in this case, they will say, letting the exceptions trickle out one by one if this is the route they are taking.)
And, of course, we have Senators and the VP starting to weigh in with the idea that the Executive branch shouldn't have to obey the courts.
So we will see how this plays out.
Sure. Keep telling yourself that. I mean, didn't Trump say that Harris would put the US into a recession? Nope....It was President Musk...lol
The Emperor has no clothes....lol
I guess that DoFo's moves to not sell american booze at the LCBO and to cancel the Starlink contract were all for show during the election.
Or maybe he'll tell us when he gets back from Florida.
