Trump negotiated with the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico for them to assist in cracking down on Fentanyl entering the US. He postponed the 25% tariffs on goods entering the US from these countries for a month.

In Canada the government with its controlled media, whipped up Canadians into an anti-American frenzy. They pushed not buying US products, booed the US national anthem and even had its hockey team attack the US team. Nothing happened to deter the Fentanyl. Whay do you think is going to happen now that the month is up ????

In Mexico, there was a push for cartel friendly laws and a prohibition on using GMO corn (an American product). What the fuck do you think is going to happen ???

Their respective currencies are going to look like toilet paper and that's just the start.

For China. They didn't do anything about the Fentanyl, so they get an extra 10% tariff with the thought of more to come if they don't get a move on.

I'm noticing a lot about Libertarians these days.

A canon of Libertarianism is the free flow of capital and people across borders. I would expect a Libertarian to be for open borders and no tariffs.

Yep, and Anti-MAGA.

Private Property borders inviolate; National borders F that, and get more upset over an avoidable tax on goods origin than a mandatory-or-punishment tax on income.

Over $17 billion collected for April alone and more tariffs kicked in in May.

Birdbrain Biden's deficits for 2023 and 2024 were $1.6 trillion and $1.9 trillion.

I hope Trump can show for 2025 that the deficit is not greater than $1.9 trillion as it would be the first time since 2000 that the deficit did not increase (adjusted for inflation).

All this fury and I wonder if Trump is just waiting for the dust to settle so he can show improvement over Biden by next January.

He is willing to take the public opinion criticism now and may just be set on showing even in his first year he can noticeably help improve the country.

Yep, Trump is gonna try to go from the Federal deficit at 6% of GDP down to it being 3% of GDP over the course of 4 years. -- This the liberals call radical.

It's radical because they won't do it and won't get credit for it. So they'll cock block budgets, cuts and tax decreases. I'm talking about the liberals.

Trump has had 4 years to plan this out. He didn't even do the primary, sat that out. One debate with Biden and he's out. Kamala was a joke. He's going hard early and hoping for results Q1 next year.

WTF are you talking about?

He was on all of them. Only lost in two.

I meant debates. My mistake. Theoretically he didn't really involve himself much in the primary process outside of getting on the ballots was the point. He didn't really get all that public until being named the nominee.

Based on Trump 1.0, I'm not encouraged. One might argue that it's up to the congress, but Trump seems to be willing to sign whatever turd he is given.

It is accomplished.

55% Tariffs on CHYna, 10% on us.
