Serious tariff question

An easy Google search will show you all the products Canada charges us a 25% tariff on. Also it's called leverage. If a friend is not being a good friend than take their good bag away and watch them come to the table. Also Canada does not spend near enough on their military they just let us saps do it.
And the magas all cheer for higher prices!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
It's common sense that the tariffs should be reciprocal on the same products. Oh yea, common sense skipped a few generations.
If you dont buy that product there is no inflation. If American Companies are charged a tariff in a foreign country they are at a competitive disadvantage and rely on the federal government to correct the unfair markets.
If you don't buy that product because you can no longer afford it, that doesn't help either. Tariffs will drive up prices and combined with the windfall tax cuts, which will put more money in the pockets of corporate America, demand will go up and so will inflation. This plan makes no sense, especially since the economy was already roaring and inflation was manageable.
Are you familiar with history and what happens when you start a trade war?
Hmmm ....[checking your predictions in your posting history]... Ok, if you are predicting a trade war, then we are going to be fine.
When someone shoots at you and you shoot back that is not starting a war.
Tariffs spark Exciting Times for Ohio Steel Plant
President Donald Trump’s tariffs will be a boon for an Ohio-based steel mill and its employees, the CEO of JSW Steel USA, a subsidiary of a massive India-based steel manufacturer, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
"It's a good piece of the formula that results in our company increasing utilization in the next 12 months, from 68% to probably 84%, and beyond that in years to come. So it's a very exciting time for us," JSW Steel USA CEO Robert Simon told Fox News Digital of Trump’s tariff plan in a phone interview on Thursday evening.

Just to be clear, these are the tariffs Canada imposed on the USA for years, even before Trump ran his first mandate :
Dairy Products:
Milk: 270%
Cheese: 245%
Butter: 298%
Other Agricultural Products:
Chicken: 238%
Sausages: 69.9%
Barley seed: 57-57.8%
Industrial Goods:
Copper: 48%
Aluminum: 45%
Steel: 25%
Consumer Goods:
Cars: 45%
TVs: 45%
Eggs: 163%
Wheat: 94%
Bovine/Meat: 26.5%

We started the trade war. Most Canadian businesses are taxed heavily by the government and couldn't survive without imposing tariffs on the USA. This is the price of socio-communism.
I don’t understand The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, never have. They come to my aid when I least expect it, sometimes strongly, and I greatly appreciate that — Very meaningful! But then they come out with some real CLINKERS, like today’s Editorial that my Auto Tariffs will hurt the Michigan Automobile Business. They are sooo WRONG, in fact, it is just the opposite. The tariffs will drive massive amounts of auto manufacturing to MICHIGAN, a State which I just easily one in the Presidential Election. They have already stopped numerous new auto plants from being built in other countries, a GIGANTIC WIN (already!)
FOR MICHIGAN, and the United States as a whole. Just let it all happen, and watch, it won’t be even close! AMERICAN industry will thrive, and we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Guessing that tweet is in regards to this story?
So they are great when they agree with him?
And the dumbest and worst when they don't? So basically like all of his hires?
I'll give him this, he is consistent with his idiocy.
He's smarter than just about everyone and he has a lot of other smart people surrounding him. Deal with it.
No he isn't, Good Lord at the verbal fellatio of that rich kid trust fund baby.
Tell me again how he hires the best and brightest, and then let's talk again about his apparent hiring of nobody but Deep State actors and tell me again how smart he is.
Donald Trump was right again. Tariffs are bringing manufacturing to America
CTV News Canada reports many Canadian businesses from all different industries are looking to move their businesses into the United States to avoid 25% tariffs
“I'm looking at two states right now. I'm looking at Ohio and Texas”
“Either I can sell the company to a US company, and I have a few companies — and they would move the production down to there. Or I can move the business myself.”
🧵🧵 Tariffs under McKinley and how in the long term they contributed to one of the most prosperous periods in American history
Sure there was pain in the short term after tarrifs were enacted
However, its long-term impact was profoundly beneficial, contributing to one of the most prosperous periods in U.S. history (1880-1920).
By protecting domestic industries, it fueled GDP growth, raised wages, and solidified America’s position as an industrial powerhouse.
lol
How did the McKinley Tariff affect America?
AI Overview
The McKinley Tariff of 1890 raised tariffs on many manufactured goods, which protected American industry but hurt consumers and farmers. The tariff also increased political tensions and led to Republican losses in the 1890 midterm elections.
How it affected industry
- The tariff protected American industries, especially steel and textiles.
- It increased duties on many manufactured goods, including glass, woolen manufactures, and certain metal products.
- It increased the duty on tinplates from 30% to 70% to stimulate domestic production.
- It raised prices for consumers and farmers.
- It caused a backlash against rising costs.
- It contributed to a growing divide between agricultural and industrial interests.
- It led to increased political tensions.
- It led to Republican losses in the 1890 midterm elections.
- It led to widespread dissatisfaction with Republican policies.
- It was eventually repealed in 1894 due to widespread dissatisfaction.
We are NOT being taken advantage of in trade. Rather, Americans are using the freedom of choice in buying the products they want.
Furthermore, the population (the U.S. market) of the U.S. is considerably higher than Canada so of course we have a trade imbalance.
The Canadian dollar is not a reserve currency.
I think The argument is that the dollars reserve status hurts American citizens and we want to be compensated for it.
For someone that has LIVED in Mexico and worked with and traveled to Canada many times, you’ll realize how right this guy is correct.
Both Canadians and Mexican criminals are the same, both scumbags and also curiously cheap m’fukers (Canadians, not Mexicans. lol)
Another recycled TI username.
You get banned or anticipating it after spouting your bs and hatred?
Only been here for less than a year and Ive been here since 2002 so I smell bs.
Coming from the worst woke programmed AI. That's like using wiki for research.lol

Wait a sec, the guy who gets every bit of his information from Russian bots on Twitshit is complaining about AI results? We all know that it wouldn't matter what source I used if it doesn't say what you want but the beauty of this world is that you can fact-check it yourself!! Oh wait, no you can't because Catturd won't tell you the truth about tariffs.
But I know who can! CaboTiger knows everything about everything because <checks notes> he lived in Mexico for a long time! He knows economics/culture better and he even knows what random people said to you in Spain because he <checks notes> lived in Mexico for a long time! Granted, he will never show you what he knows but he does! because <checks notes> he lived in Mexico for a long time!
Dude is talented - he can also put together a string of emojis faster than Elon can take away your benefits!
You can @Cabotiger instead of bypassing my username like a pussy. 😂😂
You know why? LOL
You should pick your fights more wisely because you’re not gonna win with me, I’m not only more intelligent but also more handsome. Lol
