He's been sniffing around in tariffs' dressing room since the 80s when Japan was economically dominating. Rumour is he'd rather date a 25% tarrif on steel than date his own daughter, so that should tell you a lot. He also has a Navarro body pillow.

Well, he ended the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, didn't he?

That's decades of lead poisoning for you!

Makes me wonder what the microplastics have in store for us? If all we get is an "I love you" from our Costco greeter and hand jobs on the menu at Starbucks we'll be lucky.

Only an economic idiot?

Right. Obvious to most except maybe those with only two brain cells strung together with spray cheese.

Boys' night out at the local strip club, he turns up at Ikea wondering where everyone is.

I see your point, but I feel like spreading the risk a little would've been the more secure trade policy. 70% reliance on one country seems borderline obscene. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 so there's not really any point in me complaining about what should have been. All we can do now is work to correct the mistake.

I swear to fuck i just read another article from 2 hours ago where that Hassent fellow was quoted as saying essentially the opposite of what is quoted here.

These people are a mess. Shrodinger's trade policy. The US economy, a bag of shit and a ketamine addled advisor are placed in a box...

"Only an idiot could have agreed to these trade deals!"

It's rare, but occasionally he'll truth shart.

Not to mention illegal firearms and migrants. I believe that in all cases, the contraflow is much worse.

I did read recently that the trade in illegal Canadian eggs being smuggled into the US is booming, however.

Nice. A clairvoyant on the internet. Very original.

Trump had made it very clear since before his inauguration that he would be targeting Mexico, Canada, and China in his crusade against fentanyl.

Coincidentally, those three nations are also the US' largest trading partners, where the only legal avenue for applying tarrifs within the framework of his own USMCA (the greatest trade deal, maybe ever!) is to declare a national emergency. 'Tarrif', after all, is his favourite word. Right after 'make', 'that' and 'large'. He's been obsessed with tarrifs since the 80s. Any excuse will do. And 'fentanyl from Canada' is the excuse that he burped up after a particularly greasy bucket of chicken.

This trade policy by royal decree has been enabled by a national and bipartisan apathy to the abuse of legal loopholes and a general contempt toward foundational principles like the separation of powers. It's all very obvious. We don't have to guess at trumps motives or strategy here. He has rambled about it incoherently for years at this point. Subtlety is not one of his strong points.

That's not to mention the influence of the First Lady, Lord Ketamine himself.

I hadn't even considered this. I think I have most of my ETFs with BMO (Canadian), but I might have some iShare's, too. Thanks for the reminder!
