I doubt that struggling Americans will notice the difference, not that you care, since you are both a foreigner and a supporter of the vicious Socialist agenda that was leading to the destruction of MY country, something Im sure you and many others hope for,especially with the level of Chinese Communist shilling on this forum.

 

Your sudden concern for the well being of Americans is, as always with your lot, hypocritical and hate ridden.

It’s a big tell when you can’t deal with a member’s comment and therefore resort attempting to deny the validity of a member’s comments on the basis of what you imagine to be their nationality.

I haven’t changed my concern for the well being of Americans one iota, on the other-hand you have.

 

Sorry for pointing out your about face on inflation and the cost of living for millions of Americans.

 

How’s the price of eggs?

Whats new, your comments have always been invalid as the irrational hypocritical screeching of Socialist and anti american propaganda.. 

 

Not that you would understand nuance, but there is a difference from being concerned with inflationary pressures caused by Government waste and programs that serve no purpose and recognizing that in the case of existential issues, one might have to share the burden.

Let's see what the business genius has done in his short and already hilarious second coming.....

 

---Imposed 25% tariffs on 70% of US oil imports. I'm guessing that isn't going to bring the price of gas down, nor the prices of any goods moved by any form of transport

 

---Started rounding up the migrants who pick produce, work in abattoirs, and clean hotel rooms, and scaring those who haven't yet been picked up so they fear going to work. I'm guessing that won't get the price of bacon or KFC buckets or lettuce down.

 

---Prohibited the CDC from sending its weekly report on virus outbreaks, such as Bird Flu. Farmers won't know the disease has hit their area, and won't they be surprised when their chickens start dying off. I'm guessing that won't get the price of eggs down.

 

None of what he has done is likely to help the economy or inflation, and that must hurt given that recently released figures show Biden's last quarter GDP of 4.3% smashed the best 45 did when he tried to play President his first time.

 

Not that I needed any more data, but it's pretty easy to see why the clown suffered 6 bankruptcies and squandered a half $billion of inheritance from daddy.

 

I knew the bozo was going to destroy the economy, but I didn't think he'd do it so quickly. Depression, thy name is 47.

Canada has a number of baby houses where Chinese and muslim women who are visiting Taxania, go and give birth so all

become citizens easily.  Been going on for decades.  US has caught a number of muslims trying to sneak into the US from Taxania.

Anyways, all this could be the excuse needed to crash the markets which it is itching to do.

Thats because you avoid the hard topics I have posted such as

 

[Bannoi]

Trade wars are not good for anyone with the possible exception of a few very rich and well connected individuals.

It can lead to higher prices - higher cost of living - unemployment - higher intrest rates - inflation - depression.

History has a habit of repeating itself.

The vast majority of economists are in agreement this is not a good idea and its going to backfire.

Turning inward with an isolationist policy is not good it will only hurt America and the American people.

Why on earth would you trust someone who's business dealings have made him bankrupt multiple times with the economy of a major country.

Other countries will find new markets and turn away from America once trust is lost it can be hard to regain it.

So you are saying that any Trump supporter who enjoys a good smoke and shag is somehow intellectually inferior to a fat indeterminate sex furry thing with hair in a colour not found in nature and with more metal in its skin than tossed by the Kronprinz at Verdun and who speaks soley in some inarticulate Socialist jargon? Im sure they enjoy a good smoke and a shag of something somewhere, even where that is not designed by nature, except perhaps a cloaca in an amphibian.

Enjoy your new markets. Wont have much purchasing power for your already overpriced exports, assuming you have enough power to make them. Maybe convert some of those factories into Tank manufacture.

Don't see how Canada wins this particular battle with something like 77% of their exports going to the US.  If Americans do not want to pay 25% extra and choose local products instead (where available) then Canada will be in trouble.  Also, with half of their country speaking French it is inevitable at least that half will want to surrender.  I'm expecting this to be the shortest trade war in trade war history.

Just open the Canadian market to the Chinese...in 5 years you would barely find any American products on the market. China can take gas and oil as they don't have it.

And who pays? The American tax payer, that's who! Some Americans seem to be ignorant Plus trump has announced 10% tax oil on Canadian energy oil imports, including heating oil upon which the US consumer is reliant.

 

Canadian crude oil will be subject to a lower, 10% tariff, which could mitigate the effect on U.S. gasoline prices. Midwestern oil refineries are heavily dependent on Canadian crude.
