President Donald Trump’s threat to double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada has led the provincial government of Ontario to suspend its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the United States.
The orange buffoon doesn’t see the US isn’t the only trading partner Canada and Mexico have. They’ve obviously prepared for this ever since he tried doing it during his last presidency. Maybe the pain he inflicted on average Americans will finally make them start mobilizing against him in even bigger protests.
I think propaganda will redirect this to notions of the rest of the world being nazi or communist and against the US and these (retaliatory) actions are proof of it. If a significant part of the working population can believe Trump’s aim is to better their lives, and masks turn them Muslim and vaccines implant microchips then they can swallow the world being against them no problem. It will still do their lives unnecessary harm though, no matter what they take the cause to be. Perhaps terrible harm but frankly at this stage I do think they probably have it coming.

That’s my hope: Americans get fed up with this and fight for our rights and needs.
But I’m worried that propaganda will continue to placate the masses.

He doesn’t have the empathy to get that.
He deals with other countries, so that’s as deep as he thinks. How other countries deal with him.
They’re starting multiple trade wars at once not realizing that means everyone else is in one, and we’re in a shit ton at once.
Although it wouldn’t be that cynical for someone to say his goal is just removing US from the world economy.
Either he’s intentionally breaking shit, or he’s dumb enough to not know how much he’s breaking. The result is the same.
