Shocked Pikachu! I hope the people of the US realize that sooner or later.
Probably some time after the people currently absorbing the cost run out and their economy implodes.
I admit, even with the scary global crisis potential, it's going to be kind of satisfying.
Glad they pulled those Reagan tariff commercials to appease him. Yet again they fall for his whining bitch-fest and give him what he wants and he does whatever he wants anyway. Stop enabling him.
Bring back the commercials. Bring back the digital services tax.
Yes bring back the dst more people will find Canadian alternatives
Doug Ford had some big dick energy planning to run the commercials for months but that spineless oaf backed down at the first sign of resistance.
Heβs going to punish us either way, so play the ad all day long.
And bring back the big tech tax.
He's going to punish Americans. His tariffs don't do shit to Canada.
That's not entirely true tbf. I know some people who work as electrical engineers in factories and the tariffs do hurt their businesses quite a lot
Strange, I don't seem to be paying anything at the moment. I wonder who's really paying the bill? The American public you say?
Nobody drinks orange juice or American liquor here anymore. Not a big deal. His Ball room looks like shit
Gotta fund the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom in some way during the shutdown.

Canadian made goods are sent to the US under cusma anyways, so they're duty free. This mostly hurts vendors that buy from China and just reship without doing much.
The bigger impact was from them getting rid of their $800 exemption, since now every package gets hit by customs & handling fees.
Not all trade is done under CUSMA
He can't be dead soon enough. Dofo, play that add again
I do not see him being around in 3 years and 3 months but he cannot kick it soon enough.
Dumb fucker can't even do that right.
Why not a million percent at this point?
Huh, Ronald Reagan even says he's stupid:
Well obviously he is a rino and an undercover antifa agent. Everyone knows that Ronald Reagan was woke.

Our grocery store used to sell avocados from the US and they were $4 each. Today I bought a bag of 5 from Mexico and the bag was only $3.99.
Keep going Trump. I like these cheap Mexican avocados. Without your shenanigans, we'd probably still be stuck with American produce.
Really? In America we buy Mexican avocados. I didn't even know there were American avocados.
They grow a bunch in Florida and California.

They were never serious about trade talks. It's all a childish game. Let's end trade with them completely.
We the people can try our best.
So, I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but...
They jailed a guy on terrorism charges for posting a ~~Charlie Kirk~~ Trump quote.
Does the Ontario government now get charged with terrorism for quoting Reagan?
That's how things work now right?
US businesses impacted negatively by this will blame Canada, because their God Trump tells them so.
US is said and done, most people here just don't see it yet or aren't willing to accept it.
Funny, I don't recall paying a tariff? Did any of you? Those Americans certainly seem to be paying a lot in tariffs though.
Correction : He is raising the tariffs on Americans buying Canadian goods.
Another day, another provocation. This is what he lives for.
Canada has higher tariffs then Russia at this point, right?
BC Premier David Eby is preparing a digital ad campaign stating exactly that. Canadian lumber has higher tarrifs than Russian lumber imported into the USA:

Until the headline reads trump eats a bullet. He can eat a dick.
I'm not sure what the tarrifs currently are, but I'm not sure this is as dramatic as it sounds.
As an example, if the tarrifs are currently 30%, raising them 10% over and above what they currently are would make them 33%, right? ....right?
Then again, he's already proven that he can't do maths
Yeah no he means that if theyβre 30% heβs making them 40%.
Again, unilaterally and without the vote of Congress, which hems supposed to need.
Can someone please remove him? What the fuck are we even doing here?
Baffle them with bullshit. Make so many changes nobody knows whatβs happening.

So far this is just being an asshole. No date/specifics is just him yelling at the TV.

Who cares anymore?
What an utter asshat.
"they"
Is there a chance he means the sectoral tariffs, or is this just another symbolic one we don't actually pay in practice?
Is there a chance he means...
Who the fuck knows what he really means.
It's a complete mystery what's going on in Trump's head.
We do not pay the tariffs, the people buying stuff pay the tariffs.
True! The more accurate way of putting it would be "our clients have to pay".
