    He was never going to tariff canada and mexico at 25% whoever believed that is brain dead.

    "we will have to wait and see the outcome" is clearly not knowing if he will or won't.

    One might refer to that as a tad disingenuous.

    Nice try.  Today, "duh, of course it was an empty threat".  If you want some credibility, call the score before the game, Captain Hindsight.

    It's almost as if every headline and story are reacted to in a vacuum, and there's a complete and total absence of sincerity or seriousness behind any of it.

    Anyone who knows anything about tariffs knows that these were veiled threats to instigate some response from the named countries. If Mexico actually does anything to increase border security then I guess it could be called a success. I expect a similar response from Canada. If these tariff threats actually get Canada and Mexico to allocate resources to border security, I guess that is a good thing, even if it comes with political bravado. It is a tricky discussion. The real question is what will he do about China. That is where a real trade war could take place.

    his issue with border security with canada makes no sense. we have more problems with guns coming in than the US has a problem with immigration or fentanyl. he's just blindly swinging at the pinata, hoping he gets some candy. he's a moron.

    Personally I wish he would tariff canada 50%.  They've been on the tit long enough.  Pay your own way.

    Sorry, this is a terrible take away. What normally happens is the president and his team schedule a call/meeting with said country to discuss things, especially when they're currently your damn ally and trade partner. What Trump is trying to do, and has apparently succeeded in this case based on your response, is make it look like he forced Mexico and Canada to do something they were refusing so he had no choice. That is not the case. Under a normal presidency, these deals are announced after behind the scenes negotiations where both sides make concessions, but these clowns aren't normal so we get a reality TV situation instead. It's childish, immature and inefficient, which pretty much sums up his leadership style and explains why he has bankrupted so many business ventures.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    No, not all. Real leadership is hard and takes skill, strong communication, patience and integrity. The my dick is bigger than yours approach has an age old predictable ending. Those are the leaders that topple their countries.

    It sounds like you’re just rehashing Trump’s made up stats about Canada. Care to elaborate what paying their own way means in this case?
