Summary
In a virtual speech at the World Economic Forum, Trump suggested Canada could become a U.S. state to avoid his proposed tariffs on imports.
The remark elicited gasps from the audience.
Trump claimed the U.S. does not need Canadian lumber, energy, or vehicles, vastly overstating the trade deficit between the two nations.
He reiterated his intention to impose tariffs, potentially as high as 25%, on imports from Canada and Mexico starting February 1.
Economists warn such tariffs would raise prices for U.S. consumers.
Somehow, even with conservatives owning all the branches of government, it will be the Dem’s fault.
So what are the Dems doing to prevent any of this?
Hard to prevent when you are trying to get in front of the flood of dumb things being put out right now.
If Trump is serious about this it will be bipartisan by 2028 just like all the 2016 Trump policies that were bipartisan by 2020
LGBTQ+ and immigrant fear can convince conservatives of about anything.
Lol that’s just the narrative they need to fundraise another loss in the 2028 election.
And they’ll even say sorry for it because they consider it “impolite” and “not done” to talk back to the sitting government or some shit.
