Good point.. I just checked “The US does import goods from Russia…. The most common products imported from Russia are mineral fuels, precious metal and stone, iron and steel, fertilizers, and inorganic chemicals.” Why isn’t the entire US government up in arms about this?!?!
Well it doesn't seem to matter if we import anything from a particular country; a la you know the whole penguin thing...:-))). Oh. Russia! haha. Sorry . trying for humor.
No, there were sanctions under Biden uObama and under George W. Bush Trump removed those sanctions and also open up air travel between Russia and America, which has been closed since Bush. Also, this is why they're dismantling our country.
The dark enlightenment. I remember hearing about this a few years ago in a nightclub. I thought they guy was bonkers. It's been horrific to watch my worst nightmares come true!
Soon enough, other countries won't even need to tariff US goods. Trump is going to make US products radioactive on the world market, same as Elon with Tesla.
Before he threatened/disrespected us in Canada, I never checked labels at the grocery to see where something was from. Now, I do, and US products go back on the shelf, even if they're less expensive.
He's creating the worst trade barrier to the sale of US goods, making the world associate his toxicity to everything US.
To all Americans here, love you all. I know you didn't vote for this and I'm rooting for you to weather the storm.
Please know we hate him as much as you do. Only 30% of Americans voted for this buffoon but because of our electoral college system he won the presidency even tho he lost the popular vote. If this debacle doesn’t convince the Dems to do away w the electoral college when they’re back in power I don’t know what will.
I know, Ruben. I've been following politics since the first time he ran, and I've been following US politics a lot more than my own Canadian politics. =P
Thank you, David H. And haha, for a moment when I read that you "never checked labels at the grocery to store" and that now "US products go back on the shelf"...I thought wow, that's an interesting protest move for an American"...Oh you're in Canada! But still....I too am checking labels more often, out of curiosity....And will def buy as much Canadian maple syrup and whatever else I can! I saw something on a box of cookies maybe yesterday that said it was packaged both in the US and Canada...thought that was interesting....
I’m an American, and I totally understand. I don’t blame you at all. My father was born and raised in Canada before coming to the States. My husband and I, plus our two grown sons, are actually considering a move to Canada.
It's unfortunate, but I do feel that the best way to hurt Trump, for us on the outside, is to hit the US economy. Our government's actions against Kentucky bourbon actually got Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul to speak up on tariffs.
I'm hoping that at some point, he'll start to lose MAGA support when his base feel the consequences of his actions.
Never because he is a narcissist, along with everyone in his administration. Nothing is ever their fault. It was never about making America great, only about making their bank accounts great.
He’s still working out whether there are 2 r’s or 2 f’s in tariff so it’s gonna be a while 😂 Meanwhile, maga still thinks tariffs are paid by the country upon which they are placed.
Wild how even in this purely retaliatory moment, the EU is giving a month and a half notice so people can prepare for it, almost like that (at least pretend to) care ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s time the damn GOP gets their shit together with the DEMS and stop this game! It’s a game to Trump and his circus and he is screwing all Americans!
Thank you, Aaron, for this forum and for providing an independent take and truth about what's happening under this dictatorial regime. As this trade war ramps up, I'm scared for the world It makes no sense. Nothing that comes out of the WH makes sense. Standing strong up here.💪🍁🇨🇦❤️ Stay strong Americans and keep pushing back.
As much as it will hurt I am glad that the rest of the world is fighting back. This is what they voted for so they deserve everything they have coming. Unfortunately, we are having to go along for the ride. All we can do is ride it out, continue to fight back, and show up at the polls. Get the right people in office and hopefully they can start repairing the damage. Which unfortunately, it will take a long time to rebuild the trust within our country and the global community. While also trying to repair the damage to our country and economy as well.
I've heard some rumors of a penguin uprising, as they were not pleased to be involved in human politics, and most of their views on social issues do not align at all with the current administration. As well, there has been a lot of confusion, as the penguin economy is just not comparable enough to our human economy for them to even know how to begin to respond. What can ya do? These things happen...I mean, only in the current hellscape we're living in, but that's neither here nor there.
~Very disabled atm but still causing good trouble in any way I can.
Hi and big hug! And thank you. I am desperate to be out in the world with most of you, but I'm doing everything I can think of that is physically/mentally possible from here. And I am in awe of everything I've seen from all of you. ❤️
What’s amazing is that NO ONE is talking about the fact that there are no tariffs on Russia!!!!
Interesting - never thought about that with all that is going on. anyone know if we do import anything from Russia?
Good point.. I just checked “The US does import goods from Russia…. The most common products imported from Russia are mineral fuels, precious metal and stone, iron and steel, fertilizers, and inorganic chemicals.” Why isn’t the entire US government up in arms about this?!?!
This is why they're doing what they're doing. And had people read project25 , they would have seen liberation day for Tarrifs is 4/2

He didn't impose tariffs on russia, and we know why.
Well it doesn't seem to matter if we import anything from a particular country; a la you know the whole penguin thing...:-))). Oh. Russia! haha. Sorry . trying for humor.
We do in fact import from Russia. I was shocked about that when Europe was cutting off imports and we didn’t. I was quite irritated over that.
I believe there are formal sanctions against Russia (if he hasn't canceled them) due to the war in Ukraine.
No, there were sanctions under Biden uObama and under George W. Bush Trump removed those sanctions and also open up air travel between Russia and America, which has been closed since Bush. Also, this is why they're dismantling our country.

Agreed!

Screaming it from the rooftops. He’s a Russian agent
Does the US have any trade with Russia?

The terminology can be tricky, it seems. Made in, prepared in, packaged in, they all have different implications.
Same!

Well, if the penguins are willing to negotiate...
Hold your ground penguins, the only way to take down a bully is to hit back hard.
good for them Hit the red states hardest Ohio Ky Indiana Iowa S Carolina the Dakotas and yes Florida let then feel the pain
there isn’t enough money to bail out every one everywhere
I grew up in Iowa in the 50-70. It was good back then - like in most states. I would never have imagined what it happening now.
I'm a blue dot in a red SC, but willing to take. hit if it will make SC wakeup!!
As they should
When is he going to admit that he knows nothing about how tariffs work???
Never because he is a narcissist, along with everyone in his administration. Nothing is ever their fault. It was never about making America great, only about making their bank accounts great.

Thank you, Pippa! Nothing makes sense because he is unwell, dangerous and could care less about anyone other than him self.
Trump is the biggest idiot and braindead fool that ever existed
And a narcissist and sadist. He loves what he is inflicting on everyone. So sick. And I still don't understand why only a few are standing up to him.
I know right me either don’t get why people still stand by this clown

I fully agree with this. It's gonna hurt. But it has to hurt for them to see how bad this regime is.
Is this how he plans to Make America Great Again? What a buffoon.

this made me smile! Yes we are all contributing and causing good trouble any way we can! Sending a hello and a hug! "Vices in My Head".
