I thought the tariffs were about fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?
“… Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again,” Trump said.
By his own words, he has just shown his big lie - his previous border excuses as the reason for trashing his trade agreements which are taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy.
It would be underestimating Trump to think he doesn’t understand what tariffs do.
He’s backed by the richest men in the world, and he’s going scorched earth to make them richer.
He’s not stupid; he’s greedy, nefarious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals of making America’s richest folks even richer at the expense of everything else.
Trump by himself is just a rambling old man. What is scary is the army of like-minded people worshipping him.
This. We cannot underestimate how sinister he is. He talks like he’s dumb but it’s a tactic to broaden his appeal. He’s a smart narcissist and he loves to be worshipped.
He is being played like a violin by Russia. I don’t know if he’s too dumb to realize it, or he thinks playing with Russia will get him his own Putin like stature. Which it might!
…trump’s an imbecile, but some clever folks are spoon-feeding their asset…
