Bankrupting his country like he did with all his businesses, including a casino. Notoriously difficult to bankrupt.

Don't forget his secondary handler FElong and how he tanked Twitter.

Also barred from running charities because he stole from kids with cancer, wasn't it?

Speech from Trudeau gave me "we're at war" vibes.

It's incredible at which speed things are falling apart.

I like that Trudeau announced he was fucking leaving and before he could get his ass out the door and let someone else take the lead, all this shit happens because Trump was elected.

What a fucking circus.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 26 points 8 hours ago

Come on now, calling Trump the dumbest man on Earth is doing a great disservice to JD Vance who has put in an enormous amount of effort this last year to pip him at the post.

Can't wait for "ONE BILLION PERCENT TARIFF!!!!" in 12 hours

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Nuh uh! You!

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

Canada is already going to trade more with us in Europe.

It's like he doesn't understand tariffs... It's hurting your country.

If you put a tariff, it increases the price you're paying. It makes the goods more expensive for your industry and your population. It makes your industry less competitive as your industry has to sell at higher prices.

Then comes the reciprocal tardif what makes your industry even less competitive. Putting more tardif will hurt your industry.

Did he say "he was the champion of the industry" or whatever similar? Well people voted for the person who doesn't know what 2+2 makes.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 32 points 8 hours ago

Thing is, America isn't Trump's country. Not in any patriotic sense. Far as he is concerned, it is just a random McDonald's he can ransack and sell off in pieces to whoever can pay him.

It's like he doesn't understand tariffs... It's hurting your country.

It doesn't hurt his wallet when he is raising prices for all his hotels for secret service and employees 10x and pocketing it. He doesn't give a shit about the average American or this country. Fuck you, I got mine.

His goal is revenge on everyone he doesn't like, and to cause pain for those not like him.

Intentional or typo? Funny either way.

All Trudeau needs to do is implement a reciprocal tariff that also increases by like amount. Boom, now you have an infinite tariff loop and a single transaction in either direction is enough to create infinite GDP.

Checkmate, economists.

[–] WorkshopBubby@lemmy.ca 40 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ya honestly Trump is so fucking stupid that it's starting to feel like he's doing a bit. Like is he mocking his own supporters at this point? I think the world needs to respond to trump with something exactly like this. Infinite tariff loop is actually a policy I would support unironically.

Well his first though after he clashed with Zelensky was "That will be great television"

Sound to me like he is just thinking in tv drama plotlines, but unlike on tv you can't just cancel a show when everything goes to shit ...

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 13 points 11 hours ago

No, it's because he has got orders to make a spectacle so he just says what he thinks, that it's gone on for x minutes now time to enact the ambush, then he comments on the "great television" because he has accomplished the oligarchy's mission to stage this farcical peace talk.

Long before you get to 100%, everybody stops buying it. Zero times anything is zero.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 15 points 12 hours ago

They can go above 100% too. Canadian chocolate bar $420.69 when?

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Or a black market forms

Oh we're going to get embargoed

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

I'm trying to decide what black market US goods are going to be the most profitable, asides from guns. Bourbon maybe?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

The US does not produce much that is not available from Canada, Mexico, or Asia.

You have to go to Europe to buy aircraft.

The US is a service economy. Are you going to black market software or cloud services?

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Electronics for sure. Phones most likely top of that list.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Those are made overseas, what you want is goods that can only be made here vs CA like tropical fruits (oranges, limes).

Dude thinks tariffs are Uno cards.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 24 points 12 hours ago

Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 160 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

lol ours is retaliatory but theirs are reciprocal?

Eat shit asshole.

This guy doesn’t even understand those words. They’ve got someone writing his tweets now.
