Trump admits Americans will suffer due to trade war

[Morphine Prince 109,655]

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday that Americans could feel “some pain” from the emerging trade wartriggered by his tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and claimed that Canada would “cease to exist” without its trade surplus with the United States.

The trade penalties that Trump signed Saturday at his Florida resort caused a mix of panic, anger and uncertainty, and threatened to rupture a decades-old partnership on trade in North America while further straining relations with China. 

“Canadians are perplexed,” said the country’s U.S. ambassador, Kirsten Hillman. “We view ourselves as your neighbor, your closest friend, your ally.”

By following through on a campaign pledge, Trump may also have simultaneously broken his promise to voters in last year’s election that his administration could quickly reduce inflation. That means the same frustration he is facing from other nations might also spread domestically to consumers and businesses.

MAGATS will defend this as a necessary means to be tough after bitching about egg prices.

The thing that really takes me out is the amount of manufacturing jobs through foreign companies, based in Republican states. Toyota, Mazda, Volkswagen. Target, Amazon, Walmart all heavily rely on imported items. So when foreign imports dip and those retailers don't get orders anymore, who do they think it will affect? When foreign companies are treated like Huawei and Bytedance are here, who will it affect? Eggs will be nice at $1, but it's too bad these idiots won't have jobs to pay for those eggs.

100%. I truly don't think anything could get through to some of these people. Even if we get into the Great Depression 2.0, people will find a way to excuse it because Trump's got such a chokehold on them.

I can assure you of one thing: no conservative will say this. You're fighting a strawman and you should be careful with your strategy. It won't resonate.

Trump has always been taxing. Taxing on mental health, taxing on relationships, taxing on democracy. Is there anything or anyone he doesn't tax?

Worst thing is you're right. The MAGA cult will do everything in its power to condone this. They will try to argue that this is necessary. I even saw a meme about it. Act like they don't know economics during the election, then act like geniuses and argue why this is necessary or democrats fault during the presidency. They MUST be deprogrammed.
