In a Truth Social post Monday, Trump said: "I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States."

Either he's completely incompetent and doesn't know how tariffs work or he's deliberately trying to deceive. Either way he has no business being in a position to be doing it.

First, tariffs aren't "charged" to the exporting country but to the importer (the US). The importers will just pass their losses on to the consumers which will mean higher prices. Second, he's going to start a trade war, just like he did in his first term. It's truly hard to comprehend the level of ignorance going on here.


There's ignorance going on. It's all a ploy to get the borders shut down. Trump has done more the last 3 weeks to close the borders than the current regime in 4 years.

You just cant figure out who's in the plkan to replace the ones picking your crops or working on the construction sites in the US that's all. And who needs the oil imports coming from Canada, 25% wont hurt a thing.
Canada needs it. They also need to sell lumber. They'll cave.

The oil they could sell many places. They send it to the US because they don't have enough refineries to refine all their oil.
Hence Drill baby Drill on day one or else gas will shoot way up considering the US imports most of it's oil from Canada.

I would wait until after the peaceful transfer of power happens before pointing that little secret out,lol
Why? We need to open more refineries so we can produce the 20 million barrels we consume each day. Why we export this wealth amazes me.

He's bluffing! He wouldn't do that! Oh wait, this is Donald Trump, not Joe Biden. Wow! Mexico and Canada better stop those illegals now or their economies will be toast.

It's not a secret. US oil production is known.

As are you.

The rest of America is breathing a sigh of relief.
Maybe the leftist gaslighting and jack-bootery is going to let up for a while.
That's awesome. The first thing I thought when I read his comment were "as are you", scrolled down 1 and there you were, voicing the same exact thought.
