Economy Donald trump to impose Tariffs feb.1st.

So first Trump gets alpha’d by Newsome in that tarmac photo, now he gets alpha’d by Trudeau and backs down from his precious tariffs. Rough week for the old man.
I find it weird how people are interpreting it this way.

As a Canadian, I certainly don't feel like Trudeau "alpha'd" Trump. I feel like he made Canada look weak by essentially giving us the equivalent of an atomic frontal wedgie.

Trump made tariffs his whole purpose for the last 6 months regardless of circumstance. One call with Trudeau and he abandons them. Trudeau won that transaction,
 
Correcting myself on what exactly? I stand by everything I've posted ITT and I'm not sure what you've think you've proven or what you want me to walk back exactly. You made some posts other people liked, don't care. I was responding to you ITT and to your bad posts here. Great you apparently acknowledge the obvious truth that Trump is to blame for the trade war we almost got into in some other thread, so what? Doesn't change anything about the criticisms I made ITT.

You were playing into the idea that the Dems were at fault for somehow not communicating the gravity of these tariffs when it was in fact a central campaign issue that virtually every economist agreed was a bad idea. Of course Dems didn't run an ideal campaign but that's an insane take, as if what was missing was 30 sec ads of Paul Krugman explaining how tariffs affect 401ks. No, part of the reason Trunp got elected was because people have no interest or trust in that kind of discourse. Even now look, Trumpers ITT are hailing this as a success and a vindication of the tariff strategy. Most people aren't that insane but they are cynical enough to not care until it's too late.

And yeah I do think that's in line with your typical faux centrist post.

You are so disingenuous LMAO. And you aren't oblivious to it. You KNOW you are.

"Central campaign issue". They spent well over a BILLION dollars trying to get Kamala elected. Ran ads literally nonstop regarding abortion and Jan 6th. Can you show me ONE ad where they talk about people actually losing their nest egg due to tariffs? You can say "that wouldn't have worked" and maybe it wouldn't have with the candidate they had--but what they did do sure didn't work either did it?

"Hey you may have posted a bunch of previous times making your position crystal clear, but I'm gonna only fixate and reply to the one where you point out that the other side perhaps should have had a different focus. And then put forth that's the entirety of your view. And then act like I'm discussing in good faith."

Damn, you're wearing a big old pair of clown shoes but think they aren't there as long as you don't look down and see them. Well, they're still there.
 
this rivalry is starting to heat up. i look forward to this years wrasslemania.

But he didn't. Can you explain how Trudeau won rather than make concessions to Trump....which is actually what happened?

Also, the tariffs are paused, not taken off the table.

Because Trump made the concession. Tariffs were his cure all. Regardless of what’s going on in other countries, Trump said tariffs would usher in a new golden age for the US. Yet all it took for him to tap out was one phone call with Trudeau. You can speak for Canadians, but Trump lost in the eyes of Americans here.

This is such a confusing take.

Politics is such a weird thing, it's like we are loving in alternate dimensions.

An ad specifically mentioning 401ks and tariffs? I doubt it but that's quite specific. ITT you've complained that the Dems were both trying to relate too hard by talking about beer prices but also of touch. Pointing to graphs and using technical arguments is also something they were criticized for. And if you're suggesting the candidate was weak then does it really matter either way?

You had one post ITT before the one I replied to, not aware of these "bunch of posts" you're talking about.

They don't feel that way. They just can't come to terms with Trump's tariffs working out for him

No he didn’t… lol

Trump used tariffs as a bargaining tool

You clowns are blind with TDS



Make no mistake, Canada would get fucking crushed in tariff war. They need US money coming in.

The average GDP per capita of Canada ranks below West Virgina… let that sink in

Trudeau can talk big… but it’s all show



Canada gets more subsidies than the poorest red states

Another dumb ass post anything posted on X is completely useless now no free dialog as anyone representing an opposing view is banned. Doug Ford wearing MCGA and announced they are cutting 200 billion in new business to US companies with the first 30 billion in place to go after US banks and businesses operating in Canada. While what's left of MAGA deals with their loss of social security and Medicaid. Fun fact Veterans in nursing homes had to prepare to move because these places have been warned they may not be paid. Supposedly the money to come Feb 7 but could still be delayed.

What a ridiculous take this is. For fucks sake. Imagine having so little understanding of how bargaining works.

But you were told about them and it's pretty easy to check. You aren't denying they're there (because that would be idiotic, you know they are) and even in knowing...you STILL attempted to use the one post you replied to as evidence that the entirety of my view on this was "Dems have blame too".

It's bad faith, intellectually dishonest trash. You know it, I know it, anyone who reads it knows it.

Here's one thread I was posting in about it yesterday
