If being President was a private sector job, Trump wouldn't make it past probation period.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days. Edit: The tariff war has begun.
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
Trump said today that he would allow both Mexico and Canada to avoid most tariffs to the U.S. for one month, saying he would exempt products that are traded under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the trade pact he signed during his first term.
What a lunatic! I feel bad for the investors and businesses that are getting whip-sawed by his unpredictable changes of mind.
I imagine the stock market plunges are part of the issue for him, not to mention the many American businesses that are complaining about the effect the tariffs will have on them...

The Euro hits a 4-month high. The dollar takes a hit.
Maybe we can do back to CAD-USD parity.

At the end of the day, this is the most likely reason he is doing it. As president, he can move the market up or down 5-10 points a day. Sell on joe biden's peak, announce tariffs, buy back in, remove tariffs, sell, repeat. Him and his billionaire cabinet laugh all the way to the oligarchy.
Ontario sells the US $1.3 billion in electricity every year.
So a 25% increase should put an extra $325 million in our coffers

I just hope Trudeau and Ford don't back off their stated retaliation policies.
Gotta keep the pressure on!

Tariffs... No tariffs... Tariffs... No Tariffs... Tariffs... No tariffs...
One thing's for sure, just about everyone in business thinks he's an idiot. Well, everyone except Elon, whose Tesla stock is down 30% in the last month alone.

Everyone in Europe is starting to boycott Tesla.
My dad holds a lot of Tesla stock and he sold all of it last week
If Trump tariffs go through on April 2nd then Doug Ford has said he'll raise the electricity tariff up to 50% 
I'm actually starting to enjoy this trade war

My biggest complaint is Trudeau waited too long to publicly push back at Trump. If it wasn't for Ford stepping up who knows where we'd be right now.
These points should have been driven in back in January.
Mitchy Laugh.
The reason Trump backed down (again) is not because he's doing it out of the kindness of his heart. It's because tariffs are a horrible idea economically. They're bad for the stock market, bad for jobs, bad for inflation. There's republicans who are going to the WH and telling Trump it will be a disaster for manufacturing, farmers and all sorts of other businesses. So he paused them for another month. He had no choice.
If tariffs are such a good idea, why did he pause them, twice?

Of course!! I hope that Trump's totally hatred of Justin, can eventually help Pierre become the new PM!!
Man Danielle Smith is such a traitorous cunt. She was asked about export tariffs and she said no. Then they asked what if ALL the money went from export tariffs to the Alberta treasury to distribute as it sees fit. STILL NO. Nasty back stabbing cunt. I hope Carny comes in as Capt Alberta and shoves it down her throat.
This did not age well...
@JustinTrudeau
later removed this video, for obvious reasons. He did the exact opposite of everything he said he would do. "This is a classic Marxist communist tactic. It couldn’t be more obvious. Don’t forget to buy Canadian and keep booing the US anthem faketriots . You’re being led down the path to destruction by this government."
Just what Canada needs, a weak, pathetic, snivelling whimp, crying about how much he’s ‘got us’! Tears won’t fix this mess, you fool!
@realDonaldTrump
is going to have a field day with this… SNL might even use it…. Here’s some advice: Get a wet cloth. Wipe the fake tears. STEP UP and MAN UP!
