I guess China is more of an ally than Canada?

This will send a price spike through every walk of American life. From tomatoes to eggs to timber needed to build homes. youtube.com/live/PJSAcWt...

Reminder…Republican driven inflation is “good” for America! 🙄🙄😭😭😂😂🤡🤡

You mean the useless, spineless, and pathetic Congress has given the president total power to do this?

Trump is going to take America to its knees and you can blame all the magats!

So you dumbass Trump voters are going to be fucked by him! What a joke all because he is going to deport immigrants! Great choice! He’s out for revenge only and you are making it happen! Fucking stupidity! Trump used you idiots!! Now we all will suffer! He hates our Country! Losers!!!

I love it ! Can't for the economy to crash!

time to stockpile TP again.

These tariffs are taxes on companies, not consumers, simply put, they are just price increases for every American.

I can’t help but believe his “announcement” is market manipulation just like 2016-2020. We MUST be smarter this time. Trump is predictable and it’s time to see the forest through the trees.

17.3% of US exports are to Canada. US states that export to Canada will be very happy when Canada also imposes a 25% surtax.

Just what the WP wanted!

EVERYTHING!!!

All good! We take our beer a little to seriously up here.

He’s so dumb.

Clearly they did not read the The Washington Post the last time he did this. www.washingtonpost.com/business/201...

Man, I'm just spitballing here, but what if the WaPo had talked about the inflationary impacts of Trump's tariffs before the election? Imagine if we had a critical press who asked intelligent questions and sought thoughtful answers prior to elections instead of after them.

I am sure that will help inflation. Plus removing labor force. All the signs that the price of goods goes up. Maybe Kennedy can head that up.

If only the U.S. had an industry whose job it was to inform, educate & warn Americans & was dedicated to protecting democracy. It sure would've been handy to have such an industry in 2024. Instead, what we've got are overpaid circus addicts who #sanewashed a sexual predator/con man/dictator-wannabe.

"We'll only have the greatest inflation. No other inflation will be like ours." - Cheetolini At what point does the echo chamber for the folks who voted for this guy finally pop?

Because he kisses the butts of dictators...He is NOT a smart man...

They won't actually be... he is asking for a private bribe.

The 10% tariff on China is on top of the existing tariff they have.

Wait till our neighbors and China do the same 😸

Donald Trump and his MAGA ghouls are only going after Canada because of the far-right's dislike of Justin Trudeau. This tariff madness will backfire on America, spectacularly. Good luck getting any cheap timber, next year.

Trump is taxing the American people to pay for his oligarch buddies tax cuts.

He’ll blame Biden.

Crude oil from Canada have become important to U.S. oil refineries, making up most U.S. imports. U.S. oil refining capacity is 18.4 million barrels per day, January 1, 2024. In 2023, 60% of U.S. crude oil imports came from Canada, up from 33% in 2013. 4.3 million barrels per day in July 2024

Buy your appliances and autos now!!

Is this just another distraction to lead us down a side path? Acknowledge it but we supporters of democracy must stay on track. Too bad MSM still picks up on each and every item trump throws out there.

Welcome to #Trumpflation

I wish your headline reminded reader who actually pays for those taxes.

This from #Trump who said he would abolish #inflation

This will hurt the Americans more, this has the potential to throw the country into a recession, and totally stifle new wood housing builds. So bring it on, hurt your own people

If you can't say "national sales tax," say "tariffs" and hope people don't notice how similar they are.

Trump is the enemy of the world , hope he pulls out of NATO

“Felon President threatens economy with bone-headed threats” - fixed it for you.

Then he will blame the increased cost of goods on the previous administration. And his cult will eat it right up

😞

That's fair but why not avoid using misleading statements at the same time? Not trying to be argumentative but we are only hurting our own credibility when we make statements we know are misleading. We end up looking just as disingenuous as the ones who make the policies we disagree with.

Oh, I'm not saying that there won't be a price increase, I just said that it's not due to inflation. Inflation impacts the cost of everything, not just imported goods.

Most of us know that.

Your message would be helpful over on Leon’s site. The people here seem to have a very clear understanding of how tariffs work.

I have family in Canada. Last time trumpanzee did this, they were pissed

Trump voters owned themselves. Good job morons!

Folks, because @washingtonpost.com can’t do the job of reporting, I will. These countries are NOT paying the tariffs. The importers here in the U.S. do. That cost is then put into the sale price of the goods, increasing the cost for you and I. We, the consumers, ultimately pay the tariffs.

I promise you, no one will buy a MAGA kidney. Buying a MAGA organ is like buying moldy fruit that was shit on by a mule. It's all that Sunny D and potluck.

He should listen to his donors. They all have economic ventures in Mexico. Fentanyl flourished under his administration. It's struggling under Biden...so much economic opportunity being wasted.

And both presidents have already contacted P-e Trump. Winning.

Lmao but but but the eggs..

Does he honestly think that's not going to affect the $275billion in goods that Canada imports from them?

Erge, when he starts reaching out to the EU because of Ukraine, The UK will be insulated slightly, I hope starmer doesn't bend over. It's always been a fear of mine that Brexit will end up helping the UK

Can we get a more honest headline? Like "here's which goods are going to become extremely overpriced"

He already pussed out on his 60% China tariffs. Good chance he pusses out on this too.

So are his supporters

I'm trying to focus on one area where I can maybe later sell or barter. Settled on produce and seeds. Heaven help my husband when he sees what I've done.

There are several industries that are so intertwined that prices will be affected everywhere. Automotive and agriculture are two huge areas.

Thank a Trump voter for this idiocy. Buy your tequila and cell phones now. SMDH.

I can hardly wait until the stock markets open this morning.

There will be waivers for those who pay the mordida or are friends with the Donald.

I believe he said he was going to cut our utility bills in half his first year....Suuure he is...

Trump is literally retarded, not an insult, just fact.

The fools voted for tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations and tariff-based price increases for consumers and then blame the Dems for high prices and inflation.

China wins again...thanks to Elon or Trump‘s own understanding of the impact?

Great. Act crappy to your next door neighbor ! 🥲

Seriously… Canada too?!
