He face reminds me of fried chicken. I'm vegan now. So it's like the fried chicken my kids leave on the counter to dry rot naturally.

Many of the cars MAGA buys are not made in the USA. They are going to go up 25%. Wait tell that sinks in.

Wait until the Trumskers find out the giant trucks they adore are now beyond their financial grasp.

The dude bankrupted a casino.
A casino.
- Not just once, but THREE times.
  
  At first I thought you meant one casino three times. It looks like it was three different casinos with one bankruptcy each. I am not sure which is worse...
- So here's the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.
  But then I have to ask myself, "HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?"
  I'm not saying he's some genius we just can't comprehend. I'm saying he's a criminal and I wouldn't put anything off the table.
  But yeah, he's probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.
- house always wins except when the house is owned by Trump
- The dude let a Russian money laundering front go bankrupt once it was no longer viable.
- So I havent looked into this at all. Is it possible the bankruptcy was a way for him to steal his investors money and get away with it?

And the market crash will begin right around that time too. Yay!
- Makes it easier for black rock et al to scoop up what's left of the housing market

I'm no economist, but this seems like a really bad idea.

Super glad we put Trump in office so he could make Mexico pay tariffs and bring down food prices. Feels so good to be owning the libs.
/fucking sarcasm
/SMDH
- His worshippers are like people dying on a boat, lost at sea. "There! I see a ship!....no wait..."

I work for a company that has a lot of trade with both countries. Owners are already talking about the possibility of needing to raise prices to account for the tariffs. The plan appears to be to try to hold the line, but this well to do but family owned business can only hold that line for so long.
- Keep prices the same but add a blanket 25% fee on any bill/invoice with a name like "Trump government fee".
  If large corpos can do it for legitimate taxes they themselves should pay, there's no reason companies can't do the same for these tariffs.
  
  This is the way
- Hell there are businesses already building a local stockpile of raw materials and part; been doing this for MONTHS. Other's not accepting long-term contracts that might bankrupt them if they are caught having to fulfill them post-tariff.
  This all adds to the cost of doing business even if the tariffs never happen. Guess who pays since most everyone has to do it (read: there's no competition when all the players pay the vig!)

So how long until Canada just stops sending them oil?
- There’s contention between oil-providing Alberta vs Federal government at play. If it was up to AB and their provincial gov, they would become the 51st state.
  Attempting to catch a whiff
  
  There’s a reason for this variant of jesusland

Yeah .... can't take Turnip's or America's word for anything any more ... it's just a land of rage, anxiety, lies and stupidity .... from it's politicians and it's people

Blyat!

For reals this time.
- Or just keep pushing it back another month because of how bad of an idea it is

I look forward to the response to his upcoming visit to Alberta.
- ~~visit to~~ annexation of Alberta.
  There is 0% chance he will allow the oil/gas to stop flowing. The visit is just like his meeting with Zelensky. It's to manufacture a reason for his aggression. Once the country is cut in half we're divided and lose access to goods from both coasts. The eastern portion would be restricted to cheap goods from Asia except through him. Economically we'd take a huge hit, and it would be easy for him to mop up the remainders.
  
  He's coming to Alberta for a G7 meeting (possibly). And I wouldn't be so pessimistic about the future - Canada is pretty unified in maintaining our sovereignty.
- He's not going to go
  
  It'd be fucking hilarious if he did though.
- This Alberta visit… it gives me the same feeling i got before Zelensky’s recent visit to the white house. Too good of a showmanship moment not to stir drama. Anybody else sharing my concerns?
