Given how much the US imports from the PRC, it would be politically unsupportable for an American administration to attempt to impose it as more than a PR move.
Many people are mesmerized by Trump’s satire. In the end , there is usually “ much ado about nothing” although occasionally Trump does something which is highly effective and actually matches the rhetoric.
America is not in a position to tell their banker, China what to do.
Trump is just a blip or flash in the pan for China’s 40 to 70;year Silk Road plan anyway.

denying the US access to Canadian Fresh water is a strange idea
They can pump all the water out of the great lakes they need and there is not a damn thing we could do about it
Yeah, I kinda thought the same about the comment. The USA has every right and access to every drop of water in the Great Lakes as Canada

Having said that, there are a myriad of treaties and agreements that govern our mutual interests

Imagine what happens when US implements 25% tariff on those cars being sold from mexico? US has a housing crisis, not an automobile crisis...those plants are in danger of shutting down, in Mexico. It will be Mexico's problem not the US...you think all those parts can't be manufactured in the US? GM & Ford have big plants in the US...if these other manufacturers want to sell their products in the US, either they pay the tariff or build plants in the US. Majority of Americans already has shown to support Trump...Mexico either fix their borders play by the US rules or they are going to get fucked. Canada can stand on it's own. Mexico is a big ?
No production will be brought back to the US. Thats just another Trump lie. Do know how many years it would take? 5 to 7. All know the tarrif, if implemented at all won't last long. So they simply higher up the price.

I know you really want to defend everything Trump but do you have any idea what it takes to set up an automobile manufacturing plant? Or even a stamping plant?

If Trump imposes 25% tariff on produced cars and automobile parts, it will havoc with the entire AUTO industry.

Things are not as simple as Trump makes them out to be

I like the take by o'Leary who said he threaten 400% tariffs on China. That will bring them to the table, or bankrupt them.
O’Leary is a longtime personal friend and he admits he is a bigger attention whore than Trump what he says with 400% extra salt!

Having said that, he really is a pretty smart guy. But he is an attention whore first and foremost.

The Americans can't even keep drugs out of their own prisons.
Americans have their problems too...doesn't mean they're just gonna bend over and take it from other countries too... exactly why Trump is leveraging the tariffs. Basically telling Mexico to get their shit together....

Americans are their own worst enemy. There would be no fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine crisis in the United States if there was not such a voracious demand from degenerate American gluttony. Mexico doesn’t have a drug problem like the United States. And drugs are practically free there so it’s not the cost. It’s the society.

As for Mexico, otherwise getting their shit together, fat chance!.

And before simpleton Trump sells all you Trump Chumps on simple solutions, The United States needs to get its own shit together

his appeal to the masses is that he reduces complex problems into simple soundbites that allow simple people to feel that they have something valuable to contribute to geopolitical issues

No disagreeing there. But it's an interesting notion and the premise being their business practices are abhorrent. So hit them hard and force them to do better.

do you realize how foolish here you appear to people who know what they’re talking about? Setting up auto plants and heavy industry takes a lot of time, capital, and human resources.

Modern automobiles are the most sophisticated devices made on this planet. More sophisticated than SpaceX, satellite network, airliners, computers, buildings, etc., etc.

Chine business practises are abhorrent, and they have absolutely absolutely zero ethics.

It’s a cultural thing and they are too far gone.

My solution, simple poet sounds, is too right prohibit any Chinese products that infringe on any US intellectual property in any manner hazardous if they could, they would still be selling melamine as baby formula and dog food to Canada and United States.

I have significant history and various global industries despite many opportunities, I will have nothing to do with China and recommend any of my consulting clients not to also. At any cost!

FFS, they export their deceptive business practises everywhere… There is a reason that most of the big and switch odds on Leo list are Asian! Lol

People think that setting up auto manufacturing, and changing supply chains is soooo easy. lol.
Whatever manufacturing has left the US, is mostly gone for good and not coming back.

I wish it were that simple.

Thankfully, free Society and capitalism is like water, it finds its own level. President really don’t have the influence people think they do except maybe in their emotional mood.
