US President Donald Trump has today announced massive new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium, while threatening to “shut down” its car industry and saying the best way to end the trade war was for Washington’s ally to be absorbed into the US.

He’s probably having his stock broker sell off a bunch of stuff, announcing tariffs, then buying back. His stock transactions should be public record while president.
He shouldn’t even be allowed to own any stocks as president
Thank you! It’s ridiculous how much even people opposed to Trump have allowed him to frame the debate.
Fucker should’ve been impeached and removed on Inauguration Day – 2017, let alone 2025 – for Emoluments Clause violations alone.
This should go for Trump and all the other oligarchs.
This should go for all citizens, if you trade then it should be public record. We should be able to see everyone’s stock history in case they ever run for office we can look at their trading history to look for conflicts of interest.
That’s a stretch. Normal citizens buying some nominal amount of shares of Company XYZ 5 years ago doesn’t mean there’s a conflict of interest now, especially if they were sold just as long ago. For if someone might run for office? 99.5% of people won’t.
It’s just undue surveillance on normal people.
Confirmed already; $1-5M lunch buy-ins with corporate execs per head - the topic? Tariff exemptions.
Who cares about billions and trillions of wealth destruction of the public coffers when he can make millions per day personally?
The great negotiator says, “Oh yeah?! Well +1 to whatever you say! Times infinity!”
Aaaand he went back on it already.
He’s clearly a Russian asset. Theres no rational thought or ideology here - he’s just fucking shit up for fucking shit up sake and USA can’t do anything about it.
Well it was nice having… (checks notes)… metal.
That’s heavy!
Does he think Detroit is in Canada?
Large parts of US car manufacturing went to Canada over the years as Detroit rotted. The problem is that tariffs won’t bring it back, it will just bankrupt the car companies. Which is fine for Musk, not so much for everyone else.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
welp rip to the us housing and automobile market. hope you weren’t planning on buying a house or car anytime soon.
Damn. Trump is doing a really good job punching himself in the cock.
I’d say he’s doing a better job of punching everyone else in the cock while he has immunity from prosecution.
Canadian Metal? Oh no! What will Annihilator, Voivod and Anvil do now?
team up with archspire!
Is he raising tariffs on russia, though…
No, but he is removing the sanctions against them
Such a great Deal ArtistTM
Whoa. That’s a big fuckin tariff
Hold on to your butts yall we’re having a Depression
do you think trump actually believes he can sanction canada into surrendering national sovereignty or is this part of some idiot gambit to crash the us economy on purpose
It’s just destruction and chaos to weaken Russia’s competition.
Yes and yes. Putin engineered the situation to be a win for him in either case.
Getting Canada to surrender sovereignty is the bit. Crashing the economy is a happy coincidence for him. The true goal is profiting from the chaos in between it all.
