And Trump declares "victory" and folds his cards..... 
Trump Says U.S. Will Impose Massive Tariffs On Mexico, Canada And China From Day 1
- Thread starter bazokajoe
- Start date
A thought just came up. Instead of trying to stop people from entering the country [which he knows he can't do short of East German or Best Korea methods] he wants Canada and Mexico to stop people from leaving their countries... like East Germany or Best Korea.
Not a good look.
Not a good look.
I wonder what Claudia offered to stop US consumption. Maybe lacing all the coke with lethal doses of fentanyl?
Clown show! lmao.
Wow if he believes she has the ability to make good on that promise he is a bigger mook than his followers.
If he doesn't believe it, grifter is gonna grift his cult.
IF energy costs go down? HOW do you think Trump or anyone is going to lower the price of electricity? Seriously.
Has the cost of engineering gone down? Has the cost of heavy construction gone down? Has the cost of labour to build new electrical plants gone down? Has anyone found a new river to build a new hydroelectric dam in the United States? Have the dotard 'muricans changed their attitude towards nuclear power being safe or clean? Do any States want to host nuclear power plants or host the storage of nuclear waste? Have ANY of the dozens of small, local modular factory-built nuclear micro plant startups done anything except raise and burn investor cash?
Will the cost of natural gas go down to fuel gas electrical generation plants?
Have actual, real world costs of generating electricity by wind turbines and solar even come close to that of existing, PAID FOR power plants? Whaddabout the materials science dead end we are at with lithium and other energy storage options like gravity water pumping etc?
None of this even includes the massive infrastructure upgrades that would have to be planned for, including expropriating land and creating easements for new transmission lines etc. FFS, Floribama, Loseranya, Texas still can't manage to have transmission systems durable enough to withstand the yearly hurricanes.
Are you hoping that the 'Stable Genius' Trump will discover some new physics or what exactly, or generally, do you think Trump or anyone will or can do to lower the cost of electricity in the United States? Not to mention to even think of catching up with CHYNAH who have been busy as beavers slapping up the biggest hydro dam on the planet, building coal powered plants faster than Toronto condo builders for the past decade.
And here you are saying "IF" Trump can lower energy costs then all will be peachy! I thought all you Trumpers mocked that Hopey attitude of Obamas? <wink>
Not so simple as he makes you beleive is it?
Trump fans are a bit like Chuck Norris fans or Bruce Lee fans
Only Chuck Norris fans know not to take his "facts" seriously.
I am pretty sure the USMCA has a five year review process built in. That is coming up during his tenure.
de-regulation
stop the green energy insanity
will he succeed ?
there are a lot of piggies with their snout in the green energy trough , so it will be an uphill battle
2026
we need to remove Trudeau from office well before then and give Pierre P some time to make tangible improvements on the boarder issue
it is time for Jagmeet Singh to pull the plug on Mr. Dress up
And the primary reason that the manufacturing was offshored was because China and Mexico pay 1/8th of the wages of a western employee. Never mind the additional employment overhead costs of US employers like the most expensive health care costs on the planet.
It wasn't because Mexico has cheap electricity that the automakers moved their operations there. Electricity costs are a factor in any manufacturing but not as much in the heavy industries like primary resource refining of say iron/steel, copper, aluminium etc.
As for Trump doing an about face if he craters the economy...by the time, and if, his bullshit bravado ever gets organized enough to put into action... he'll be out of office. You can't build a simple natural gas elelctrical generating station in less than five years even if you are shovel ready an have the approved engineered drawings, permits and contracts in place. And Trump, having been a builder before, knows how long it takes to build a simple skyscraper or hotel. He's full of shit and knows it. But he knows you guys will believe whatever he says.
I agree with you that this solar and wind energy is stupid expensive and a long way to being cost effective, never mind actually green! And it is a quantum leap in materials science away from becoming cost effective or green.
The "green energy insanity" hasn't actually hit our electrical bills yet. Yes, it is stupid and costs way too much but it is all being absorbed and hidden in gov't subsidies and grants.
Here in Ontario we pay under ten cents a kw/h. The Ontario gov't previous FIT programme that paid private solar and wind farms to provide electricity was paying EIGHTY THREE CENTS PER KW/H!!! So if you have a $100 monthly electric bill, it would be $800 a month!
As for "de-regulation", I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. The de-regulation of building energy plants? de-regulating the property rights of landowners for transmission corridors? De-regulating private (publicly traded) companies pricing?
I know "deregulation" is a catchy phrase..like "green energy", but most of the problem with the regulatory process is simply time delays. Which is not as big of a factor in the price of delivered electricty as the actual cost of construction and the natural gas etc.
time will tell
My guess is the board of John Deere is re-evaluating its current CEO's strategy.
Can he bully all of Corporate America ,? No he can not
That said a lot of corporate America supported him vs Harris and they knew tariffs were on the table with him
the stock market certainly prefers Trump so far and it is a good measure of corporate sentiment ..... long term
Trumps goals are pretty lofty and there are a lot of constraints (some of your points are valid ) and powerful interests who oppose hm.
That said there will be changes, deregulation of energy and there will be reshoring
how much?
time will tell
Biden and his team spent four years tying up the the oil and gas industry with regulations
day one Biden cancelled a pipeline
Biden claimed they granted lots of drilling permits , but quietly denied feeder pipeline permits to the same drilling sites
nobody was going to invest in drilling those sites if you cant get the product to market.
re electrical power plants
how many Fossil fuel generating plants were shut down over the past decade or relegated to back up for wind / solar for political reasons ?
trump will remove the subsidies and tax breaks for the wind / solar making them uneconomical
he could even apply those same subsidies and tax breaks to the shuttered gas fired plants if it drives the incentives he wants
the greens will go berserk , but that matters not to him
USMCA renewal is in July 2026, a year and a half away. Trump said that he said he would do a 25% tariff on Canada via executive order from "day one"

But not on day 1 which is his promise which he will 100% do, much like how he said he would end the war on the first day because that is completely possible [he sarcastically said]
Maybe Trump Norris actually does think he is Chuck Norris.
Maybe that's why he doesn't want immigrants
Aata majhi satakli!
Well to be fair, Trump lost his mind ages ago.
