More bullshit that the American public will have to deal with after he's long gone.

Did anyone think we weren’t? It’s not like the company bean counters were going to pick up the tab out of the goodness of their hearts!

I have a relative who's MAGA+ and he LOVES the tariffs.

He's a former CPA and former business owner so you think he'd know better. But when he donned those MAGA colored glasses all sense went out the window.

Beyond the immediate gut punch of higher prices for the American people, the lasting effects of tariffs will be systemic changes in global trade. I don't see how any of this benefits the US.

Pissing off your major trading partners cannot be a good thing. US tourism from Canada is down double-digit percentages. US liquor sales to Canada are in the basement. And there is a big hit around the world in good will towards the US over this. And the most significant thing is those trading partners being pushed into forging new trading relationships.
