The media is crying about the new tariffs (25% on Canada & Mexico, 10% on China.) Every article goes in the same direction: they predict prices on goods going up, and they try to scare the reader into being outraged.
Even Trudeau has responded this way. All he talks about is "prices will
go up and this will hurt Americans!"
But none of these buttheads bother to talk about why the tariffs have
been put into place. It's because guys like Trudeau don't want to
protect our borders. While these idiots cry about "the Average Canadian won't be able to afford Orange Juice" the reality is that right now the average American can't afford to have another illegal immigrant sneak in from Canada.
The 1000's of Billions of dollars its cost for all the illegals in the US now... think of all the money we'll save.
Canadians can enter the US based on their Canadian passports... I say
they need to apply for H-B2 visas, like other countries do, to enter the country. This might help keep the sketchy ones out.
Well, mainly Allan...
Canada makes 20% of the US car needs, this should be moved to the US and all the other things we need can be bought from other countries and or
in the US.
All that stuff can be worked out later. The part that Trudeau and Senora Claudia don't get is that we need our borders strengthened, first and foremost. They're ignoring that whole aspect of it and they prefer to scare people instead. They are arrogant because their warnings stem from their own actions.

Thank you!
My wife is doing the same thing with her friends in Panama. She won't let anyone say nothin bad about Trump. She supports everything Trump does, including taking back the canal.

I question why they are higher on Mexico and Canada vs. China. When was the last time you picked something up that said it was "Made in Canada"? It was more likely made in Mexico, and many times more likely to have
been made in China or SE Asia.

As is mine for the Dominican Republic. I was watching the news this morning. Mexico is sending 10,000 troops to the US/Mexico border and
the the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, gave a word salad typical of a Liberal Democrat... I think Canada is doomed

I'm not sure what role China is playing in our border issue, other than being suspected source of fentanyl.
I was pleased to hear (earlier today) that the Mexican president has agreed to
deploy 10,000 Mexican soldiers to the border in exchange for a delay in the planned tariff on their goods. (I'm starting to like Presidente Sheinbaum.)
But Trudeau said that he'd rather deal with the tariffs than help us with
the border (what day is trash day in Canada?)

The Mexican president is cooler than I thought! And she's not bad looking either!

The tarrifs have nothing to do with the border. If they did, then Trump would be placing them on our own border agents. If you have ever crossed back into the USA from Canada, you would know it is American agents (not Canadians) who decide if it is OK for you to cross into the USA.

The current Mexican administration had already shown a lot of desire to work with us, before the tariffs.
But Trudeau said that he'd rather deal with the tariffs than help us the border (what day is trash day in Canada?)
It came a few hours later...
Trudeau is on his way out anyway..
Where do you see that? I heard news stories about her reluctance to assist wit
the border issue in the past:

deported." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/mexicos-president-opposes-trump-immigratio

I look at it and think they mastered the "art of the deal" better than Trump did. Nothing like being able to convince someone you will do something "new" by continuing to do something you were already doing.
I appreciate the link, but are you serious? The information in that article is
not very informative.
The tariffs are still pending. Canada and Mexico have less than 1 month to sho
us what they can do.
MAGAs: Think Trump actually did something.
Seems to be working.
I just don't think that there's any proof that either Canada or Mexico "were going to do these things regardless." It sounds good for the left to say, but how come we didn't hear these "bold moves" until after Trump threatened tariffs?his
The media wants to make Trump look like an idiot, but they never reported
stuff before, so why now?
04/01/25 is the deadline. We shall see who comes out on top.The tariffs are still pending. Canada and Mexico have less than 1 month sho

They basically outplayed Trump.

Other situations charging the U.S. 25 % and the U.S. charges them
nothing. This stops under Trump. If they charge us, we charge them the same. It's called reciprocal tariffs.
Why hasn't this been the U.S. Policy all along?
Still seeing (it is quite early yet) smaller packages which used to be
the larger variety of the same product and it is still slightly more expensive than what was the regular size within the supermarket, before these grocery items shrunk in size.
Shrinkflation has been going on for some time now, since the
supply-chain issues of 2020-2022. It's a tool of corporate profits,
which far outpace inflation during Biden's administration.

Agreed, but the trajectory seems to have increased dramatically. That's
what I'd meant to say.
In addition to that going on. Doge IS finding Billions of fraud, waste and abuse. But if you listen to liberal networks and lefty media they suggest there is nothing to see here.
Sites like CBS will tell you that 14 Billion worth of federal program cuts wer

CBS and these other liberal networks are nothing more than a Democratic mouthpiece(s) I think we will find out (and very soon) that they are
Not So Smug? Any More.
It's going to be rather interesting to watch the show, because this is coming to a head. You will see the nay_sayers in the Liberal media
begin to back-peddle. Attempting to save face and trying restore the confidence of the American people from a ever worsening reputation.
They did this to themselves due to their vile hatred and arrogant behavior.
These networks would rather sacrifice themselves vs giving the Trump Administration any credit for doing what other Presidential Administrations wish they did.
... I'm talking now. I'm talking, please. Does that sound familiar?

DOGE has found some low-hanging fruit (USAID) but they've also announced other "fraud" that involves their misunderstanding of system default
dates and would indeed be "nothing to see here" if it were not so worrisome.

In 30 days Trump has done more positive things then Biden has done in his entire Presidency / I would even wage to say that Trump has done more in 30 days than Biden has done in his entire 50 year political career.

Again, the defense spending that is on the block is not likely a Democrat initiative, and has nothing to do with "victims."Nonetheless Democrats are about victim hood. all you gotta do is look at D.E.I initiatives as well as subsidized benefits that are given out to the poor. Not to mention the illegals - Victims All - Every single one of them.
True. Explain how renaming the Gulf of Mexico, pestering Canada about becoming a state, examining what it would take to take over Gaza, or pesting Denmark about Greenland will fix *ANY* of the issues you mentioned?Renaming the gulf - The Gulf of America, is about American pride.
And yet he has wasted those 30 days having the Gulf of Mexico renamed,Trump is multi-taskier - he is not Biden, who had a nap in the afternoon.

Aside from stopping some of the USAID programs, and shipping out some undocumented aliens, a lot of it is really stupid stuff that didn't need doing.
As I said, most voters were not looking for that. They want their costWhat makes you think we cannot have our cake and eat it too.

Make no mistake, NY did this for one reason and one reason only, so that they could coin the the phrase "Felon" providing optics and finger pointing. Then proclaiming and asking "You don't want a Felon, as President, do you?" It Failed - It Epic Fashion.

The "left" weakened the definition? Are you calling MAGAs "the left"? They are the ones who kept changing that definition so that it wouldn't define Donald Trump. It was so important to make sure the definition didn't include him that many MAGAs quit refering to Hunter Biden, a previous target of their scorn, as a "convicted felon" and started *defending* Hunter's actions.

When you inflate the value of several properties over a 4 year period by as much as $500 million dollars to lenders than you do in the same tax year, it looks a bit sus.
When your attorney testifies that you do so to inflate assets when it serves your purposes, as when trying to make Forbes' wealthiest list,
and deflate them with the specific purpose to reduce taxes.
