No. Trump is attempting to right wrongs that have already been in place for
decades - from VAT taxes across the EU to 100% vehicle tariffs from India,
duties charged and US products not being viable in other friendly countries -
its insane; it has been insane for decades and with the US being the superpower,
we are the ones who will benefit when other countries MUST change.
Trudeau stated that 'Trump is doing this to hurt the Canadian economy' - while
thats not true, it certainly WILL hurt the Canadian economy... much more than it
will in America - and thats the point. Since countries refused to remove THEIR
tariffs/taxes/fees, Trump is playing poker while holding a royal flush. Will we
feel it? Yes. Will it make change that might vastly improve American business
and import? THATs what Trump is doing... and I, and a lot of very intelligent
strategists, lawyers and economists think so too.
We are coming together as a country and forcing the removal of historical fiscal
raping of the US citizens.
Trump is making it so that large industry is moving their investments here;
there have been many investments already, from Apple ($500B) to OpenAI ($500B)
to the Tawainese chip company ($200B) and several others... If we bring all this
technology to the US, its citizens will reap the rewards of their development,
implementation, staffing, production and presence - its going to financially
benefit [hundreds of] thousands of Americans.
How could reciprocal tariffs NOT be the right way to do things? If EU countries
VAT our exports at 15%, America should do the same to them - we import WAY more
than these countries... AND, we have the most energy [Drill baby drill!] to
export; in the end, I'm hoping we have no [or low] tariffs because these other
countries are much more scared of our tariffs.
Trudeau said, to Americans 'Your government has done this to you'... right - the
true statement is '[The American] Our government is doing this to Canada'... and
I stand by it; very simple way to end them - tariff/tax/duty us at the
percentage you want us to tariff/tax/duty you.
Americans, over the past 40 years, have paid more and more and more of their
income to finance this disgusting, fat, bloated woke government. I don't want to
doso anymore; I know you don't agree, but I really think Trump has a master plan
and is going to execute more than anyone in the country ever thought he COULD.
He's running, and I don't think he'll slow down until 11:59PM on Jan 20 2029.
We are going to build the AI superpower of the world - and the new investments
are needed to get ahead of China and other power countries; we're going to build
in America - we're going to have furniture that lasts 30 years again, tech that
is cutting edge and made in America, and we're going to demand that the rest of
the world gives us a fair shake.
This POTUS is doing more than any in history, right now; I understand that would
be jarring if I didn't agree, but at least someone's working for the American
people - just settle down, its gonna be alright.
