“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

So he DOES need things from us. If he didn’t need us he’d just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn’t have something he wanted?

He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn’t like that we’re our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.

Agreed. But so is Christianity.

You’ve obviously never embedded a piece of fibre optic cable in your skin. It’s very sharp and will break off inside. It’s not exactly life threatening, but it hurts like a bitch and can be really hard to find and remove.

Kids these days relying on wireless everything and don’t realize the security and reliability of a wired connection.

Fibre cable is a lot stronger and more flexible than you’d think. The old days of very fragile cable are gone. You can use it and treat it in pretty much the same way you’d treat copper CAT6 cable in terms of bend radius.

but also higher quality

That’s a low bar.

Because he never even stopped.

He is completely untrustworthy.

They criticized it. Don’t you remember the whole “freedom fries” nonsense?

I’ve played the first one. Is this much of an improvement? I know the visuals are completely different.

I would love to see China put an export tax on those products equal to Trump’s dropped tariffs.

Would it stop him if it wasn’t?

Trump learned

No he didn’t.

Fuck everyone who bought this shit and enabled this.

But it’s more than just that. The factories will never be built if industry leaders aren’t sure the situation is stable.

No one will invest a billion dollars building factories and setting up supply lines if the tariffs could go away tomorrow. They would lose their investment. The only way they would commit all that money is if they know the tariffs are here to stay.

And if there’s one thing we know about Donny it’s that he’s a fucking idiot. And it’s there’s two things we know about him it’s that he’s inconsistent and will bow to flattery. Only his most stubborn followers believe he’ll actually stick to things as they are right now, meaning the desire to invest locally will never materialize.

Trump’s stated reason for the tariffs (bringing industry back to the US) will never happen under his leadership. The only thing this will cause is pain and poverty for the American people.

Edit: And to prove this, mere hours after typing it the tariffs have been ‘paused’ for another 90 days. There’s no stability. No one would invest that kind of money into building factories in the US only for this to happen… again.

Bring things back to prohibition era.

You can get a pretty nice nest in exchange for a few good rocks.

doi they understand WE didn’t vote for this shit.

No, but you’re the ones that have to fix it. We can’t do it for you.

I think we’re in stage 2 now: find out
