This dummy doesn’t even have demands. Hopefully the rest of the continent holds out and demonstrates to the US its dependency on its neighbors.
Looks like you nerds are going to have to start giving my posts 25% more upbears starting this saturday
You have to pay those tariffs when you get the upbears, so you are actually going 25% down on your upbears.
I will be visiting from another instance to deliver one downbear for every 4 upbears I give

ICE raids causing farm workers to stay home, bird flu decimating egg production and tariffs on Mexico (around 50% of US fruit & veg imports)…
Trump pointing a gun at his balls like yeah what are you gonna do about it
… Guess I’ll watch?
Trump making America great again by bringing back BME Pain Olympics
I hope that old guy in my college physics class from like 7 years that just randomly started talking about how we should fund the government through tariffs like we did 110 years ago is happy. Those guys think the rest of the world pays for the US’s existence and also cant comprehend the fact a modern state can’t sustain itself on tariffs.
I am so fucking blessed we have an avocado tree overhanging our patio. Gonna have to make sure to harvest it well and distribute it this year
All my avocados mysteriously transform into bananas at the self checkout. They revert back into avocados when I get home, thankfully
Aren’t potatoes the ideal thing to trasmute to? They’re cheap despite their heavy density

Will Trump actually be allowed to destroy NAFTA?
I know the people around him just want to do a smash and grab for themselves, but that’s a small circle of people, and the USA is a very large country.
It’s a genuine test of where power really lays. The state is not a literal puppet of some embodiment of the capitalist class as a whole - it’s an incredibly powerful tool that factions within the class vie for control of to pursue their particular interests.
Comparing Trump to Louis Bonaparte sometimes feels lazy, but eventually he was able to get away with stuff and wasn’t strictly a tool of class warfare.
I guess the trots are on something with the term “Bonapartism” it seems very, useful now.
A bunch of Chinese stuff gets sent to Mexico and then into the US, right? This could be a pretty massive, universal price hike
Let’s watch for the bluffs and double bluffs.
But honestly, if The Agency hasn’t planned all this out in advance and given him the playbook, he might not survive their discipline.
Let’s hope he really goes to war with the intelligence services and they mortally wound each other
It’s unlikely for a skull to do much damage to a bullet

This kinda works?
This is also close?

Don’t be silly, the CIA would kill him if he actually fucked with the drugs
maple syrup is already expensive enough man come on 😞😞
whats his reason for canada? i get he hates mexicans but didn’t tredau or however it’s spelled step down and now they have a jd vance type dude up there?
Trudeau stepped down, but because they have a parliamentary system there are no elections yet, it’s just an internal election in the Liberal party. Chrystia Freeland, everybody’s favorite nazi supporter, is one of the frontrunners.
The “reasoning” is that people illegally immigrate here from Canada, which may have come to Trump in a dream.
Freeland’s polling is in the shitter with the prospect of a Mark Carney leadership. He’s some charismatic economist ghoul. Also the federal election campaign will almost certainly begin as soon as Parliament is back in session in about a month or so.
that’s hilarious. i bet if any “illegal immigrants” are here from canada 100% of them live in NYC or LA and they’re just trying to be influencers.
i can’t think of any other reason someone might illegally come here from canada. we have all the same problems but worse and then no healthcare
The “reason” is Trump is using tariffs as a negotiating tactic. The US has a lot of leverage on the rest of the world; it’s just never used because destroying your soft power is a bad long term strategy. Trump thinks either Canada will accept tariffs and thus get a bunch of free money from Canada, or that the tariffs will cause Canada to give up “something” in renegotiating trade terms.
or that the tariffs will cause Canada to give up “something” in renegotiating trade terms.
The American dairy industry has been salivating at having access to Canada for decades. They’ve been successfully kept out so far because domestic farmers want to maintain higher prices and because everyone else wants some basic quality control in dairy products.
or that the tariffs will cause Canada to give up “something”
We’re all kind of nervously laughing up here when the Burger Reichers keep saying “51st state”
You’re joking, right? It’s a joke?
Trump thinks either Canada will accept tariffs and thus get a bunch of free money from Canada
Wait what?
That’s what Trump thinks, not what reality is.
He hasn’t actually left office yet and they’ll be picking a new person from the same party so probably not much different. I think it’s happening in March?
what was his reason for stepping down? is he really that horrible and unpopular? i dont know too much about his policies but i just see him as a typical fake woke neoliberal type of dude based on what little i’ve heard about him. all i really ever hear is stories about how boomers are pissed off at him for saying there are genders or something
There’s two reasons, the first is that i think Canadians are a lot more sensitive to the cost of living increases due to generally lower wages and higher rents. He basically has done fuck all to hold grocery stores accountable for greedy price increases or to alleviate their impacts because why the fuck would he? He also has basically twiddled his thumbs to solve the housing crisis. To be fair, the provinces have a lot more ability to solve this. The second reason is he’s been PM for over 9 years now. Any politician accumulates baggage in public perception. Basically, people are just tired of him.
thats insane bro was in power for 9 years and just steps down lol. youd figure at that point someone might just try and seize absolute power
Most American sentence I’ve ever heard
Wildly misinformed lol
im not misinformed, i literally don’t know shit about canada because why the fuck would i?
