Trump's Speech To Congress: Tariffs are NOT about Border. "It's About Making America Rich"
(lemmy.ca)
I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?
Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “... Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.
By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.
I listened to it with my dad. Horrible. This guy is mentally ill and doesn’t comprehend what tariffs do. It will crash America’s economy and squeeze even harder the middle class there. Unless that’s what he wants..
I didn't watch it. I just can't listen to him speak for more than about 30 seconds. The gibberish and gish-gallops are just too much for me to handle. I usually try to find a transcript after the fact.
Transcripts are a better use of one’s time.
I purposely didn't watch it knowing I would get better results from a summary. Like this quote from him that tariffs was about making America rich again (not about fentanyl) was all I needed to hear tonight. The rest is screaming noise.
