Destroying the US economy is the task Putin set for him, also
destabilizing NATO and delivering Ukraine to him on a platter.
Screwing Canada is just a byproduct.

At the rate the billionaires are losing wealth, they may
eventually stop supporting Trump. But then temporary wealth lost
to buy up assets cheap might be part of the plan as well.
As more people lose their jobs, protests may begin to grow
larger, at some point the general population will be so affected
they will hopefully push back.

Interesting how different countries are handling Trump tariffs.
Australia won't retaliate against US tariffs.

Canada and the EU add retaliatory tariffs in response to the
steel and aluminum tariffs.

dairy, Canada places a 241% tariff on US dairy imports and has
done so for years well before this recent election of Trump, so
I don't actually have an issue with the US placing a tariff on
dairy, but in general Trump is a moron and needs to stop this
trade war and threats.

What Trump (and supporters) have failed to mention is that
Canada and the US have a Trade Agreement for dairy products --
up to a certain amount - which the US has never actually met,
let alone surpassed. The 241% is for imports over and above
that amount.
--- Quote ---
> Those high tariffs kick in only after the U.S. has hit a
certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales to
Canada each year – and as the U.S. dairy industry acknowledges,
the U.S. is not hitting its allowed zero-tariff maximum in any
category of dairy product.

> In many categories, notably including milk, the U.S. is not
even at half of the zero-tariff maximum.

Al Mussell, an expert on Canadian agricultural trade, said in an
email Friday.
