It will be a shit show until Canada and the rest of the western world work out agreements independent of the US.
When you have a 25% tariff, additional tariffs really don't matter.
Trump doesn't understand he's a bitch no matter what he does.
I can barely afford to live here now asshole
The real problem is that Trump's supporters don't understand tariffs, and wouldn't believe the explanation anyway because to them it just sounds like Orange Man Bad.
When the US imposes a tariff on Canada, importers of Canadian goods pay the tariff to the US government. To recover that cost they raise the prices they charge American customers. So Americans end up paying the tariff. The only damage it does to Canada is that the tariff could discourage US importers from buying certain goods from Canada if they can get them somewhere else without paying a tariff. That happens in some cases, but in others Canada is already the cheapest (or only) source of a high-demand item, so Americans will just pay the higher prices - the way they're still paying jacked-up COVID prices for so many things, for example.
Millions of Americans, being too dumb or unwilling to grasp this, think these tariffs are Trump heroically saving them from the evils of foreigners who want to destroy their Freedom.

Reports from people who know him, Trump is one of these people. He clearly doesn't understand the process.
not to mention any potential compound tariffs on complex goods likes automobiles for example.
Prices skyrocket immensely.
The housing market is only going to get more expensive, etc.
By compound tariffs, do you mean extra tariff fees due to repeated trips across the border in the manufacturing process?
100%....hmmm. Yeah 200%!
Not to mention the "Governor Trudeau" extra-dumb.
God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.
That shows clearly that these tariffs are there to distract (yes it they hurt Americans, Canadians and Mexicans, but he doesn't care) to make media stop talking about Ukraine.
And ukraine is there to distract from tax cuts, and tax cuts and there to distract from the lost of medicare and the lost of medicare is there to distract from them stealing everything, etc etc
maybe, just maybe, they are just dumb and evil
I think this is Truth Social with is worse than Twitter somehow.
No, Twitter is worse IMO. Truth social has always been a steaming pile of shit that non-fascists avoid. Twitter used to be viewed in a positive light and a lot of organizations and governments still use it as a communication medium - sometimes an exclusive communication medium.

Twitter and Truth Social are two subtly different flavors of fascist excrement.

In 6 months, he's going to be talking about how Canada started this trade war.
He's basically saying it now. He is calling his current tariff "reciprocal".
the classic American strategy of preemptive reciprocation
Weapons of mass devaluation
"Preemptive Reciprocation" I love it π
Premature reciprocation

Ok it's starting to feel like a game now. Can we cause American hyperinflation by a targeted tariff feedback loop?
Or like the sort of thing a hostile foreign government might really want to have happen to the US...
Good thing we have agent Krasnov at the helm.

Itβs a very predictable result to this antagonizing. Tariff too high for the market and the idiot will self-embargo himself out of inputs that grow food, fuel cars, and make goods.
And he wants more oil pipelines even as he goes.
This guy is gonna start a war.
He already did. Tariffs are an act of war, especially when overtly related to annexation goals (as is the case here).
Economic warfare is warfare, just not with guns.
