Yes, everything the same. The 10,000 people mentioned were and are already in place. Canada in enacting is OWN border plan, as usual. The difference is that Trump is announcing it as if it's something that he has achieved. When you look at the Canadian announcement, they state the 10,000 people are already working.

So you are talking about appointing a Fentanyl Czar and working together to combat crime etc as if that wasn't something that was happening before.

Oh, so he read the times, that clearly makes him an expert. 

 

If drugs are coming in illegally, how does anyone know how much it is? 

 

The Trump administration knows about these exports from the US.......

 

1. Methamphetamine 

2. Cannabis

3. Fentanyl Precursors 

4. Counterfeit prescription Drugs

 

Why isn't anything being done to stop them?

People saying this is "insane" for America don't understand what is at stake.

 

Every country that is currently controlled by a WEF/globalist criminal syndicate puppet government is going to be challenged in the same way. Canada is merely the first. America will take a hit, but Canada is going to be devastated over this. This will kill approximately half of their international trade and double their unemployment figures. America will suffer higher prices. Canada will suffer economic Armageddon.

 

All that is required to fix this is to eject the globalists from power, and put in a government that the USA can negotiate with to stop the terrorists and insurgents that are flowing across the Canadian border into America. Canada has hundreds of thousands of immigrants on international student visas that are not actually attending school. And some fraction of those are actual terrorists who have used Canada's lax immigration policies as a gateway to America.

 

The northern border of the USA is actually a bigger threat to America right now than the southern border.  If you want the tariffs to end, then Trudeau and the Liberal puppet government of the globalist criminal syndicate has to go. That is what this is all about. The American people are ready to accept the challenges that go along with this war, because the USA can no longer tolerate how the Canadian government is abusing the long standing friendship.

 

Are the Canadians really going to accept this? Or are they going to fix their immigration policies and install a government that is ready to stand against the WEF? I guess we'll find out.

Make sure your own border is safe, build a wall and let them pay for it. worked great with Mexico.

Argh, it didn't.

So, Trudeau knows how much fentanyl Canada is sending to the US? 

 

Why does he not stop it? 

Isn't that the job for US customs, or do you want to outsource it to foreigners?

So Mexico folded like a cheap cardigan. I KNEW Trump would win this and the left would have egg on their faces. How? Trump = common sense & logic. It always prevails. Canada and Mexico can't afford to ruin their economy when they have such weak hands.

Go Trump. This is AWESOME winning trade wars and making the left look like clowns. A 2fer😅

Going back to laugh at the awful and hysterical responses from those with no idea of economics or common sense.

 

I see no evidence of either Mexico nor Canada caving. 

What I do see are seemingly unintelligent people not looking at the detail or knowing and simply pretending otherwise. Which one is you?

Please explain to me what Trump has won in both these cases. Both from an economic point of view and a common sense one, if you are able.

The left knows Trump will help the working class, partly at the expense of the lettered class. That's why they hate him. 

 

If the left really believed Trump would help the rich at the expense of the poor (like the Biden administration did), they'd be all for him. 

 

There was so much poor working class in attendance at his inauguration... Look at all these poor sods...

The way Trump is trying to run roughshod everyone he will be hated by most of the world.  I really pity the US for the harm this idiot is doing.

Please note this is not a left/right rant!  It is TRUMP and his idiotic actions I am against!

[spidermike007]

People forget, as they rebuild his legacy, forget his criminal past, and continue to glorify this creep. 

 

17 of his businesses have failed in the past few  decades. Some at huge losses. Trump Steaks, Trump Shuttle Airline ($120 million in losses between 1988 and 1990), GoTrump, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump Ice, The New Jersey Generals, Tour de Trump, Trump Network, Trump Magazine, Trumped!.

 

Many businesses that licensed his name went bankrupt, or went out of business. And he had between four and six major bankruptcies (depending on the source), including the Trump Taj Mahal (which he spent $1.2 billion building, and was $3 billion in debt within a year of opening), Trump's Castle, Trump Place Hotel (which was very successful prior to Trump buying it in 1988, and he managed to put it into $550 million in debt by 1992!), Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts ($1.8 billion in debt by 2004, bankrupt in 2009) , and Trump Entertainment Resorts. There are likely others.

 

And this does not take into account the 3,600 lawsuits he was involved in as of the time he took office last time around, the vast majority of which were filed by small contractors against his companies for non payment, or total default. Many of these contractors were crushed. It is part of his M.O.

Blimey oh Reilly, such flexible interpretation!

[GypsyT]

You can't cure stupidity!

 

"During his first term in 2018, Trump initiated a brutal two-year trade war with China over its massive U.S. trade surplus, with tit-for-tat tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods upending global supply chains and damaging the world economy."

"The trade war is in the early stages so the likelihood of further tariffs is high," Oxford Economics said in a note as it downgraded its China economic growth forecast."

No one with any sense ever thought Mexico was going to write a check for the wall, but the money saved with Trump's remain in Mexico polices, and the thousands guards they put on the border more than paid for it.

Let's look at the timeline of what happened:

 

Trudeau meets with Trump end of November. They reach an agreement.

Canada announces a $1.3 billion dollar package for border security.

No border security is sent.

Trudeau prorogues parliament rather than resign and allow a new election

Trudeau has reneged on the agreeement

Trump begins talking about tariffs on Mexico and Canada

Trump takes office and begins to implement tariffs

Trudeau backs down again and recommits to the $1.3 billion border security package

Trump gives Canada another 30 days to make good.

 

Now we wait. It's up to Trudeau. He can either continue trying to do the bidding of his globalist handlers, or he can do what's best for Canada and live up to his agreement with Trump. That means stop the flow of drugs and human trafficking across the northern border and allow a new election in Canada.

He doesn't know what he is doing,lol.

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters from the Oval Office on Monday about his trade tariffs and his talk with Canadian and Mexican leadership.

It started when he asked a staffer which executive order he was signing.

Then he was bombarded with questions including what he thought of markets tanking after he announced tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China over the weekend, and about Elon Musk's closing of the office housing the U.S. Agency of International Development. He was also questioned over Musk's accessing the personal data of government employees.

Those who watched couldn't help but ridicule as the president struggled to answer — and they fact-checked his statements.

Journalist Aaron Rupar called out a Trump claim that 300,000 Americans die annually from fentanyl overdoses — even though Trump's own executive order on tariffs to China cites 75,000 deaths from the drug. "This is a lie," he wrote.

"Trump is again doing that weird thing where he signs executive orders that need to be explained to him just before he signs them," pointed out Rupar.

On tariffs, policy director Ned Resnikoff pointed out on BlueSky, "Neither the mainstream press nor our political system seem to have digested the fact that the U.S. president is trying to illegally annex a NATO ally using economic coercion."

And on Musk's activities, legal analyst Bradley Moss said it's clear: "He has no idea what Elon is doing. He let loose Elon to go wild."

Ex-conservative columnist Jen Rubin replied, "Musk is running the government. Trump is a feeble figurehead."

"Donald Trump just criticized the existing trade deal, and asked, "Who the hell came up with some of these trade deals?" I'll just leave this here," wrote author and activist Majid M. Padellan, better known as BrooklynDad on X. The screen capture he posted showed Trump was the one who signed the "new NAFTA" trade deal during his first term.

Trump, dumb as a rock.
