Exactly what happened.

As examples, he raised tariffs on:

-Steel - result was rampant growth in the cost of cars, canned goods & appliances

-Chinese tariffs on shit goods: laptops, smartphones, tvs, furniture all inflated their prices

-Solar panels.  Prices jump more than 10% nearly instantly

-Ag: Caused a $28b aid check to be written to farmers to prevent inflation

 

They were great...if you like inflation.

 

 

Nope...

We basically had no inflation and he saved the steel industry here.

When Trump had tariffs on all that stuff last time he was president inflation was pretty low and cost weren’t crazy.  Might be a few Pence bump here and there on stuff but will create incentives to move production to the US.

You are blind.  It was nearly a pass through to the consumer. 

Canada economy set to shrink by 3%.  Also tariff EO have a retaliation clause that if Canada responds with Tariffs Trump can and will destroy them

 

https://financialpost.com/news/trump-signs-executive-order-imposing-25-per-cent-tariffs-on-canada-starting-tuesday

According to media reports, the executive orders include a retaliation clause that gives the president the leeway to expand the scope of the tariffs if Canada responds in kind.

Earlier this week, the Bank of Canada said a protracted trade war with 25-per-cent tariffs would lead to a recession, shrinking Canada’s economy by as much as three per cent.

He never thinks anything through.  People are winding themselves up trying to work out what his plan is. Problem is they are academics working it out from a knowledge base.  Trump is a chaos monkey throwing shit everywhere. 

The Canadian government sat on its hands for 8 years while fentanyl precursors poured across the border and American youth died. You guys deserve some chaos.

less then 1 percent came from up here. nearly all of it manufactured in china.

china 10 percent tariff, canada 25?

I think this is less about fentanyl and more about making the public in favor of annexation/turn on our own government in support of 51st.

 

stranger things have happened.

 

in the meantime ....

 

lol improsing ..for fucks sake didnt you step down ? fuck off already.we need pierre.

Canada trade with us as % of gdp is 22%, the US trade with Canada as a percentage of gdp is 3%.  Trudeau wants a trade war to desperately maintain power.  More like a slaughter.

Was off a tad.  Us to canada 1.5%.  Us can cut all trade to Canada and Mexico and nothing would happen.

You guys sat on your hands for up to 36 months before declaring a particular fentanyl precursor illegal. Even after all the threats from Trump it’s still 6 months. Completely unacceptable.

Fear mongering, by government.

If you can't sustain a %3 change in your own personal budget, you've  doing something wrong.

Only government thinks that growth is the only answer to balancing a budget, and it's gotten us deeper and deeper in debt.'

Canada does it.

Go find a mirror, a big one.

I didn't need the de'ranged o'range to turn me against my government.

They did that all on their own.

Enough fentanyl came over the Canadian border last year to kill 9.5 million people......they have to get it under control.....old graph but it's gotten much worse.

Wow you change stories fast.  You screamed to all of us that these tariffs won't raise prices and cause inflation and now your dumb ass is celebrating the inflated used value of one of your cars.  Holy stupid.

I imagine there will be some short term pain in the Auto sector. Might have to act fast to take advantage of the inflated prices.

 

What will make the short term effect go away?  Love to hear how you thought this one though
