Sure, because his threat was so successful at intimidating us the first time. What's the definition of insanity, again?

What’s the definition of insanity, again?

Voting for the same two political parties for longer you've been alive and expecting things to change for the better.

That's more an example of Stockholm syndrome. There isn't exactly another choice

Edit: in the US

Is that man just bored with his life or he's like a Nelson from the Simpson's fanboy?

Who's the master of puppets in his case?

I suppose,

As long as it isn’t coming out of his or his friends pockets 🤷🏻

You disagree?

Well, since they used a chainsaw to simulate the cut in burocracy, someone could use the same analogy to simulate the cut in unbalanced richness of some useless monkey

my bet is he will walk the threat back again and declare it a victory.

saved america again from a looming "trade war".

I will always assume he is not actually going to put any tariffs up until they are actually in effect and so should probably everyone else.

[–] turnip@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He wants to extend tax cuts on the other hand, and Canada would cut rates to nothing so its exports would get cheaper as CAD falls, which is deflationary for the US.

Oh please do. Every time Trump attacks Canada their conservative party loses popularity. Maybe he should announce a 5% increase every month thereafter.

It's also causing Canada (and the rest of the world) to reduce their reliance on the US for trade so double win

Lumber.

HGTV will probably die.

And housing. New housing costs up 25%+, probably.

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

More wage slaves paying 70% of their monthly income as rent to investment firms

So what you’re saying is groceries won’t be cheaper.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

This could be good for Morocco.

[–] BedSharkPal 3 points 2 months ago

Does this mean more lumber for Canadian businesses?

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

If this will lead to an increase in oil prices then I'm all for it.

[–] Punchshark 5 points 2 months ago

Trump, like the rest of his family, alive or dead, are dumb fucking cunts!

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Mr Trump, tear down this empire
