It's because of stupid shit like what you just said there that you're considered a cultist. https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/10/the-u-s-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidents

Except, I did. My comment is no more a cheap insult to you than yours was. If you say crap on here, my responding to it IS on topic. The very topic you chose to bring up.

Because those tariffs were REMOVED after USMCA and the US steel and aluminum jobs came at the expense of US industries that buy steel and aluminum. US still imports large amounts of steel and aluminum especially from Canada which still supplies most of your high grade aluminum which Americans can’t produce efficiently due to your high cost energy market. Not against every single product from every single country in the whole world

Biden increased Trump's tariffs.

How Trump manufactured his fake tariffs. This is what happens when you put ignorant dishonest people in powerful positions.

Because the accusations may be false. You go to the US and they don't like your political speech and accuse you of a crime. Without due process you can't prove yourself innocent. This is one reason why I really don't want to visit the US as a tourist anymore. If they can't check my phone and send me to El Salvador without any due process? Thanks, but no thanks. You're no better than China.

Well that is the bright side a train wreck. I will remind you this is the opposite of what Trump said would happen and the opposite of why people voted for him. He promised stock markets would go up “on day 1”amd has never said stocks going down was a good thing You understand that when markets crash, companies go out of business, people lose their jobs and their savings? Not everyone can afford to ride it out or buy the dip especially if they are at or near retirement

The fact is the tariffs had to be dropped after less than a year because the US imports 90% of its aluminum and it was driving up the prices and crushing the industries that use it.

In 2018 they said this: The fact is that steel and aluminum spike momentarily and then came back down to pre tariff levels. USA steel and aluminum jobs increased. Lmao..ok...Hitler just caused the great depression. Younl guys love your hyperbole.

It's because of stupid shit like what you just said there that you're considered a cultist. "Trump ruined the economy in 2020 and Biden's economy created record job growth!" Sometimes it's impossible to tell which cultists know the truth and are just dishing out the new propaganda, and which ones are the total id10ts who actually believe it, but both groups are part of the cult.

I'm not selling but I'm not buying either. This has a long way to go yet. After the great depression which was largely caused by a tariff war it took 15 years and a world war before it started going back up.

I was kind of neutral about the U.S. election. While I agreed with some things Trump advocated such as stopping all the illegal immigrants from coming in, I don't recall hearing about his plan to impose massive tariffs on his next door neighbours. So I can't agree with those who say Trump is a good choice. I think the tariff war he started with the rest of the world will be a disaster for the U.S. and the world. Nothing good will come out of it and probably a lot of harm. He claims industries are suddenly going to move to the U.S. and create jobs and wealth. I don't think that is how things work. He is cutting off the supply of low cost goods that our countries have imported from other countries. This will make life more expensive and difficult for everyone. Free trade has been a wonderful benefit for the U.S. and other countries they trade with. What a shame this is being destroyed.

Stock market crashes are the best time to make money. It will go back up. It's like buying a TV on sale. But my initial point was that tariffs that are excessive and conditional, force behavior. What's funny is that you guys are arguing that tariffs don't work by telling us how they've changed behavior. If they are stupid or desperate enough to sell, I will buy. It's going back up.

Expert from Trump’s own alama mater, Wharton School of business: “this is the biggest policy mistake in 95 years” @Deluge. @gatomontes99 @Nationalist

Not to his own shitty, Canada-hating people he's not.

We've been on a new track since 2015, if you're being honest. The standard of living has deteriorated greatly for the reasons that have been mentioned in this thread.

You do that, the sellers want your money. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2025/04/04/chief-strategist-who-foresaw-tariff-shock-says-worst-is-yet-to-come/ So far today.

Once again: your refusal to comment on the actual topic of this thread other than cheap insults is your silent confirmation that I’m correct.

You have a very positive outlook, @betsy. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately for the World's economies, Americans chose a charlatan as their leader. There were major warning signs that went ignored. We thought it prudent to elect a man who bankrupted six casinos to "fix" our economy. In very short order, he has turned the World against us, and has managed to cause a great economic disaster, not just in the U.S., but around the globe. I don't know how we are going to weather this. I suppose only time will tell.

You say this as if you are not the exact same person, but on the opposite end of the political spectrum is all.

ExFlyer stands for nothing and would never stand for anything. He's no different than Trudeau who failed to meet with fellow Canadians, the truckers. Both spineless tossers.

LMAO oh right. Now I remember Trump promising that if you elect him and the stock market will crash like never before. NOT You people will say anything. Pathetic. Because you don’t have any coherent point.

This is no time to fool around. We have to get over the partisanship. We need a D E C I S I V E leader! We need change more than ever.

Furthermore - my take away from Trump's Liberation Day announcement yesterday is this: The auto industry in Canada is eventually...........done! It takes time to up and move operations to the USA......but, they will eventually go, if nothing changes. Trump is aiming to bring back the days when Americans won't be paying any income tax! And he announced that USA needs and welcomes immigrants...................BUT, they have to enter legally. Can we imagine how inviting USA would be to immigrants, if a time comes when their income tax would be lowered, or even scrapped out? Think of all professionals and skilled workers who has something to offer! Not to mention, businesses will be heading to the USA! Let's talk again after a couple of years or so.......................and see how we're doing.
