Trudeau says Canadians are angry
Canada and Mexico should not pause their tariffs, and should add 100% export taxes to Canadian energy (so America pays and Canada keeps the money). America cannot keep the lights on without it, we will pay anything to keep it coming, and the Canadians know it, just like Mexico knows we can’t keep food on the shelves without Mexican produce (soon exclusively since American farms can’t find workers to be able to produce produce).
The stupidest trade war in history is an apt name for this fiasco. Every penny doge could ever save has been squandered already with the losses this intentional commercial uncertainty has caused, and the negative effects are just beginning.

Holy crap! Just to drive home the unbelievable incompetence of this administration, our eggs are up to $15 a dozen and rising (3 times their pre-felon cost), in Mexico, a dozen eggs is well under $2!
Expect all food to be similarly overpriced. Just because the tariffs were dropped (except from China) doesn’t mean the trade war is over…Mexico, Canada, and China have all curtailed their orders from the US severely without tariffs. Canada pulled all US alcohol off the shelves, and aren’t keen on putting it back.
Also, thousands were murdered because he suspended funding for experimental medical trials, meaning thousands are in the middle of treatments for deadly diseases which drives medical advancements, many with devices implanted, all of which were just abandoned to die.
And, eggs are so expensive that they are now being hijacked by the truckload, and RFK jr 1) skipped the transition meeting so has no clue what’s happening and 2) doesn’t believe in pandemics so has no plan to address bird flu or any other emerging disease or food shortage.
And we now know why Elon shut down USAID…not because they were wasteful or leftists, Ivanka used millions in USAID herself, they were investigating his Starlink contracts in Ukraine (like overcharging and how he shut them down at critical times to help Russia in the war), so had to close.
Also, he and his subordinate the felon rehired the active proud racist Nazi that quit when he was outed, because they both are Nazis themselves. Time for instigating that Indian hate he advocates against race traitor Vance and his brown family.
USPS Stops Delivering Packages From China
I'm Canadian, and many of us Canucks are mobilizing to fight this dumbass' trade war tooth and nail. We helped Trump & Biden to get Chinese EV out of our market. Tiktok out of gov't employees and many other policies besides, but we're getting f*ked by Trump yet to no gain for Americans. It's s shitshow.
My province's Conservative premier got caught in a hot mic moment saying he was "100% happy when Trump got elected but then Trump stabbed him in the back." I was like WTF did he expect?
Is Trump's second term a sort of Baptism by Fire for America's democracy? We're certainly get burned by the inferno south of the border.

Russia is playing videos of nude Melania doing soft core porn constantly on state TV to embarrass the felon. Maybe soon we can see the golden shower tapes.
China put a 15% tariff on US imports and blocked hundreds of billions in deliveries from port while stopping shipments of rare earth minerals and Xi is not taking the felon’s phone calls, we dropped all our tariffs for no gains, in fact 5000 Mexican troops left the border that Biden had secured, we lost around $2 trillion in net worth or more in two weeks, we destroyed international relations with both our neighbors (both of which are now considering BRICS and distancing themselves from America as much as possible), and we stated unambiguously that treaties and official agreements (like the felon’s own trade agreement) with the US aren’t worth the paper they’re written on and are discarded at any whim, so no more agreements, treaties, or being allied. Canada removed all US alcohol off their shelves, don’t expect it to return.
Eggs $15.
No company is hiring or expanding nationwide now, because they have no idea what insanity the felon will do next, what stupid tariffs they will have to contend with, what supply chains will be cut, or what allies will refuse deliveries.
Winning!
And…..the first article of impeachment has been filed. How long before a few Republicans grow a spine and stand up.
Trump Closes the border.
Inflation already exploding maybe double digits already. Suddenly maga says “inflation is patriotic”
Gas prices are spiking. Grocery prices spiking double digits, eggs $12! Stock market crashing. China’s international trade pact has gained a dozen (40) nations with all central and South America in talks while they consider trade war with America while switching from using the dollar to using the yuan.
Unemployment exploding unbelievably. Crops rotting in fields because there’s no one to harvest them. Hiring frozen.
Ukraine war still in full effect, with 6 more on the horizon thanks to threats.
We quit the WHO and closed our pandemic response team (again) and forced all public health agencies to stop communicating with the public right as bird flu is emerging as a pandemic.
Child pornographers, the biggest/most prolific drug dealer ever in America who assassinated his rivals, and over 1500 more violent cop killing thugs released from prison to reek havoc across America, many already rearrested for violent armed crimes, one got in a shootout with police and died.
Just 8 days in, and the nation is completely crumbling, the rule of law gone, the economy in freefall, a pandemic starting. The president is on vacation.
If you voted for this and you love America, you should eat your gun.
Americans Moving To Canada Receiving Not So Warm Welcome
Ah... such naive Americans! The WHOLE skit is pretty much accurate. You can't imagine the fear of an influx of Americans is causing here when we're already dealing wiht a huge nation-wide housing crisis. Immigratation pushbacks (to put it lighty) and still-sky-high mortage, food & rent inflation rates that we'd glad trade with what you stateside keep on complaining about. With Trump promising a 25% import tax on "Day 1" anti-American sentiment isn't going down anytime soon.
this would be a lot funnier if the first part wasn't so accurate.
Ben Stein - - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
*doublepromote a *quality and pertinent bit of information I wish more people learned in school.
Tariffs don’t stimulate economies, they stifle them and start trade wars that are always losers for consumers, they add a national sales tax to any tariffed imports, and the countries targeted always reciprocate making it hard or impossible to compete on the international markets and hurting American companies.
Our last Trump tariff/trade war with China was a horrific failure costing hundreds of billions of dollars, hurting American farmers (had to bail them out for $50 billion more and thousands closed shop), manufacturing, supply lines, and consumers…all for absolutely nothing gained.
Get ready for round 2 to feel like Glass Joe was replaced with Tyson…up to 200% tariffs across the board are going to absolutely destroy the economy in extremely short order.
Also Ben Stein’s birthday
Henrik Zeberg On U.S. Markets - It's Going To Get Ugly
TLDW- I wouldn’t believe anyone who’s going to pre-blame Biden for next summers planned recession/depression anyway.
The people who will be in charge like Elon and Trump say their plans will likely cause a depression next summer….believe them.
If they deport 10% what they say they will, it will cause a depression, and explode the debt.
If they enact the tariffs they say they will, it will cause a depression and a trade war.
If they end the ACA without a replacement (but we have a concept of a plan for thinking about a replacement…in two weeks) it will cause a depression and public health crisis.
Markets rode consistent record highs under Biden. America decided it was tired of winning.

Bwaaahahaha! That’s absolutely not what you said, you said it will be great under the felon, booming all the time, everything will be amazingly better in every way…or crash immediately under Harris (just like you said in 2016 and 2020)….hypocritically hilarious that now you admit he will tank it. 😂
Also hilarious you want zero responsibility despite having 100% control….or it would be hilarious if your party wasn’t led by an infantile fascist with unregulated power and immunity for ignoring the constitution on a vendetta against over half the country.
The Biden economy is the envy of the entire world and far better than the first Trump economy unless you erase all his losses and only count successes. It is growing, not shrinking, manufacturing, gdp, jobs, wages, and earning power are ALL growing, deficit, inflation and interest shrinking..and every other metric is moving in a positive direction under Biden including the deficit. That will not continue under the bankrupter in chief. Hide and watch. He will double the debt and we will have nothing to show for it but another negative gdp.
GDP, stock markets, profits, jobs stupid, infrastructure, all measurably and significantly better under Biden than the felon, all better under Biden even erasing the omnibus disaster that was 2020 under Trump.
I blamed Trump for year 1 of Bidenomics because he kept most Trump policies, just as I will blame Bidenomics for the first 6 months to 1 year of Trumpenomics (depending on what he changes and how fast).
I just gave you the clear undisputed starting point numbers. Just like in 2016. I would bet whatever you want that, again, they will be worse after 4 years, but you Welch on bets so I’ll just make you a gentleman’s bet, those and all other economic numbers (except the personal wealth of the top 1%) will be worse in 4 years.
If he follows through with the mass deportations, that will trigger a depression.
If he kills the ACA with just a concept of a replacement, it will trigger a recession.
If he enacts 20% tariffs on imports, it will trigger a recession, followed by a trade war, followed by a global depression.
If he withholds federal funding from blue states as he has threatened, it will trigger a civil war.
The first tump administration was a slow train wreck (with a few actual train wrecks thrown in), the Biden administration has been a slow cleanup of that wreck…admittedly far too slow. The next 4 years are poised to be an ELE size meteor strike, making us wish for those halcion days of deregulated chemical train wrecks.
Yes. Never bet against the prejudices and stupidity of the average voter. Think how stupid the average person is, then realize fully half are actually stupider than that.
Economic # will get worse, as I've said, regardless of who is POTUS.
It s slow motion train wreck , thanks to Bidenomics.
But go ahead blame trump.
I told you so.
Dems got their ass whooped . What an election night it was.

I thought you wouldn’t be able to pin yourself down on any way the next 4 years will be “better”…I was 100% correct.
You might note he and Musk have admitted their economic plan will lead to a depression by next summer, they just think they can rebuild better after they destroy the economy.
Shocker…all maga advisors have already come out to say “yes, project 2025 is real and is our actual agenda.”
Anyone with a brain knew it, sadly that’s only about 1/4 of America. Well…248 years of democracy is still a pretty good record. It would have been nice to see 250 though.
Any Latinos who voted for him are about to find out that even naturalized citizens aren’t safe from their plan…worried?….Puerto Ricans aren’t even safe (recall he wants to “trade” PR for Greenland, and has plans to return Alaska to Russia). It’s going to be interesting times, especially for non white males.
I wonder what his plans for Hawaii are. Are they going to be Chinese in 2 years?
‘Meaningless nonsense I can’t stand behind’
A Place For Trump
Nice (shocking really) that you have finally accepted your boy will lose this election, but it’s incredibly delusional to believe he will live 8 more years or be capable of standing or speaking in 4…I don’t think he’ll be alive next election, 4 years of prison will be 3.95 years longer than he can take, and he’s facing decades.
Biden/Harris have done infinitely better on the economy…no negative gdp, no double digit unemployment, new businesses outpacing failing business handily, ports open, trade wars ended, roads and bridges and internet and infrastructure invested in heavily which is excellent for the economy short and long term, wages up, inflation down, there’s not a single metric where your sickly fat boy even comes close to a tie, much less comes out ahead…not even if you forget 2020.
You have clearly completely forgotten how certain you were in 2020 that a Biden administration would mean guaranteed depression in 21, then 22, then 23…this year you finally gave up on that fantasy but moved the goal post to 25, and you think anybody’s listening? 😂 Silly silly little boy, people stopped listening to your cries of “WOLF” years ago, only your fellow cultists hear you.
100% of domestic terrorism in the last decade was committed by maggots, some as false flags trying to blame Dems but not most….most were direct attacks against America. There have been dozens if not hundreds since the golden escalator ride.
It’s impossible for something to “start back up” if it never existed, just as it would be impossible for it to “start back up” from maga since the violence has never ended from your criminal terrorist party, neither has the cheating.
Trump will what? End elections? Declare victory despite losing by over 20 points? Go full Nazi? Make homosexuality a death sentence? Hand Alaska to Putin? Direct the army to round up political rivals for extermination? WHAT? 😂
Trump will lose, then go to prison and die there.
Such a delusional little man you are, never coming close to reality or a complete thought, only cut and pasting the Russian produced propaganda prepared for you.
When the economy crashes under the next POTUS, Trump will be a better leader to get America out of the Biden / Harris inflation mess.
Trump will and the Violence from the left will start back up.

BTW you anti American moron.
You got suckered into spreading Russian lies again.
The stupid race baiting video you graffitied my profile with was another lie, an American citizen having a psychotic break and killing a cat who was not in Springfield, not a Haitian in Springfield eating cats like you claimed.
Another lie spread by the idiot that believes and spreads every single lie he’s told but absolutely never admits anything, much less every single thing he believes is a blatant lie.
This makes false racist accusation 317 you have attempted to spread that I have thoroughly debunked, you lying racist piece of shit.
Yes, this IS another Russian lie you are spreading. Blatant overt racism meant to divide between rational reasonable people and irate idiot racists…guess which side you chose. Many of the bomb threats and constant calls to police are coming from one foreign country…guess which one.
The Republican campaign is purely divisive, has no solutions only scapegoats to target, has been unambiguous that they will create and spread false stories (like pet eating by migrants) to get their messages out and will ignore the damage and danger it causes (like bomb, gun, and death threats, physical attacks, and terrorism of entire communities), they support and encourage political violence at every turn then cry a River when there’s the tiniest bit of blowback like when one of your own nutjobs turns on you.
The reason it is so divisive, outrageous, racist, sexist, etc. is that this gets clicks and views and reports and distracts the news cycle from going over his record of economic collapse, health crises, job losses, division, failed trade wars, failed border policy, failed drug policy, forgotten infrastructure policy, all of 2020…honestly any of his policies…notice he doesn’t talk policy EVER. There’s good reason.
😂 just too fucking hilarious to miss….maga celebrities are begging people to stop listening to celebrities about politics! 😂

Bidenomics saved America from the disaster that was 2020 and before. His worst economic numbers were better than the last guys best. He kept unemployment at a record low for most of his term, and it’s still lower than under the felon who lost almost 3 million jobs and near a million small businesses. 4.2% is pretty much the Goldilocks number, btw. A healthy unemployment is between 3%-5% with around 4% being preferred. 😂
The trade deficit he insisted would be his crown jewel and would turn to below zero instead went UP by 36.3% from 2016 to 2020 despite his trade wars and hundreds of billions paid by American consumers in tariffs and more in subsidies to American producers.
“Illegal immigration” increased 15% under the felon.
Economic growth was a NEGATIVE 2.2% under the felon.
The crime and murder rates rose faster than ever in history under the felon, and are down over 25% under Biden.
And don’t forget Biden just got his 70th political prisoner released including 2 taken by Russia during the last administration without paying a dime or removing sanctions or handing over Ukraine and got 2 prisoners for each criminal we released, unlike the last administration that only got 50 something released, paid cash, removed sanctions, and always got the short end of the deal, once releasing 5000 Taliban for nothing but an agreement they wouldn’t attack us if we left fast. The contrast is stark.
You are such a delusional tool, constantly regurgitating the lies you ate hook line and sinker…like your last post of an adult only closed event you claimed was happening right in front of children.
No surprise you won’t admit it….again. You never can, you have no spine, zero testicular fortitude, zero honor, zero honesty….you are an infant whining in his full diaper screaming that he didn’t poop in them. I’m done listening. I bet your family is too.
The felon has lost, his racism and sexism are on full display, his complete lack of self control is too. His vp is the biggest loser ever, worse than Palin and that’s not an exaggeration (his favorability rating started at -6 and has plunged to a disastrous -15%! The average favorability rating is +19%. The campaign is now at around -9%), and his project 2025 that he supported and praised since 2022 is an anchor he cannot escape. Even Fox polls have her up by as much as 10% and she hasn’t chosen her vp…she’s at a 50%favorable 46%unfavorable (+4%) now, Butigieg could get her to 75% favorability. Good job morons, you couldn’t keep your fascist dictatorial plans to yourselves and now no one believes you about anything but your fascism.
The felon won’t get to use the presidency to escape his vast array of crimes like he planned, and will end his days in Ryker’s Island.

Wow. Has any politician ever done worse than the felon trying to appeal to black voters by going to the NABJ convention and disrespecting all the black journalists in such a thin skinned infantile racist manner the crowd repeatedly burst out in laughter at his little tirades?
Doubled down on his racism against Harris (the same racist “she’s not really black” that you parroted recently among others).
Whined about the terrible treatment by “this…”woman””, and couldn’t hide his disgust at being questioned by a black woman who isn’t cow towing and fawning. Whined that she didn’t start with “hello, how are you”…but in fact she started by thanking him for being there and for his time, another pleasantry, but he had to whine about something.
Rambled incoherently and angrily.
“Whatabout BLM” and “whatabout pro Palestinian protesters” when pressed about his promise to pardon all Jan 6 attackers including those that attacked police, and then said yes he would pardon them.
Completely failed to answer questions like “why should the police officer that shot an innocent woman in the face and withheld medical care get immunity?” Or “why shouldn’t the officers that prosecuted you have immunity?” and “Why should black voters trust you?”.
Also insultingly and rudely pretended to not know what his own racist dog whistle “DEI” means (just like he doesn’t know anything about project 2025 and disagrees with that administration outline he knows nothing about and adopted as his platform) despite using it to describe VP Harris constantly.
Then his team immediately cut the interview at the halfway point at the first project 2025 question because they know he can’t keep it straight whether he’s supposed to be for it or pretend it’s terrible and has nothing to do with him when talking to this group and his answers would tend to prove the former. 😂
He overall really came off 100% racist and unhinged. Why did he go there again? The implosion is spectacular!
He’s already using this unbelievable horrific failure as another reason he won’t debate Harris…and who could blame him? If that’s how he acts when questioned respectfully with uncomfortable facts how will he handle Harris destroying him with facts and vitriol and biting wit? Either way he’s going to show who he is, a racist misogynist criminal who has 10 old talking points to trot out but no ability to think or a massive coward afraid to be seen by the public he needs to support him.
Edit: and he just can’t stop, spending the day tweeting out photos of Harris celebrating the Indian half of her heritage because in his tiny gnat brain a person apparently cannot be both Indian and black! Doubling down on racism isn’t a good look, friendo.
Ooof…the hits keep coming, Biden negotiated a massive prisoner swap with Russia that the felon couldn’t get done when he was president…something the felon said only he could ever get done (but didn’t) and Biden negotiated a 2 for 1 deal…2 political prisoners released for every Russian criminal returned including 5 countries and a 16 for 8 prisoner swap. Conversely, the felon traded deadly arms dealers for a basketball player who actually HAD broken the law by bringing marijuana to Russia.
How long before the Republican Party removes him as the candidate along with JP Mandel?
When Biden had a terrible performance at the debate he stepped aside, but despite this being exponentially worse you know the felon is incapable of any self sacrifice for any reason so what are you going to do? He just cut his black support by 3/4 and ruined any possibility of gaining any back! JD has destroyed support among women, and singles, and childless couples, and anyone who doesn’t support born again Christian sharia law. Project 2025 has destroyed any possible support from fans of democracy or America as a sovereign nation.

Prosecutor vs felon
Prosecuted sex offenders vs sex offender
Prosecuted frauds vs fraudulent business owner
Prosecuted tax cheats vs is a tax cheat
Minority vs racist
Woman vs misogynist
Momala vs absentee hated abusive and neglectful father (probably doesn’t remember her name)
Energetic and young vs decrepit dementia riddled diapered octogenarian
Success vs abject utter failure
There isn’t a choice here, unless you’re insane a 34 time felon, rapist, misogynist, racist, Nazi sympathizer, wannabe dictator, trust fund baby, business failure and fraud, tax cheat, security risk, seditionist, daughter lusting, military disrespecting and attacking, economy destroying, infrastructure teasing, vindictive dictator with project 2025 as their obvious admitted roadmap has nothing on a successful prosecutor, senator, and VP whose administration saved a failing economy, prosecuted business frauds tax cheats and sex offenders, raised other people’s children better than most biological parents, fights fascism and intolerance, saved veteran benefits and overhauled the VA system, actually invested in infrastructure, never stole or traded state secrets, never fomented a coup or tried to overturn a secure election, in fact has never been found guilty of ANY felonies or crimes against America.
