Trump says 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports will start Tuesday, with 'no room' for delay

Not just once, but THREE times.

house always wins except when the house is owned by Trump

The dude let a Russian money laundering front go bankrupt once it was no longer viable.

So here's the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.

But then I have to ask myself, "HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?"

I'm not saying he's some genius we just can't comprehend. I'm saying he's a criminal and I wouldn't put anything off the table.

But yeah, he's probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.

So I havent looked into this at all. Is it possible the bankruptcy was a way for him to steal his investors money and get away with it?

Makes it easier for black rock et al to scoop up what's left of the housing market

There’s contention between oil-providing Alberta vs Federal government at play. If it was up to AB and their provincial gov, they would become the 51st state.

Attempting to catch a whiff

His worshippers are like people dying on a boat, lost at sea. "There! I see a ship!....no wait..."

Keep prices the same but add a blanket 25% fee on any bill/invoice with a name like "Trump government fee".

If large corpos can do it for legitimate taxes they themselves should pay, there's no reason companies can't do the same for these tariffs.

Hell there are businesses already building a local stockpile of raw materials and part; been doing this for MONTHS. Other's not accepting long-term contracts that might bankrupt them if they are caught having to fulfill them post-tariff.

This all adds to the cost of doing business even if the tariffs never happen. Guess who pays since most everyone has to do it (read: there's no competition when all the players pay the vig!)

But Elon already brought the sink in

Some car parts travel across the US/CAN border six to seven times. The price increase will be much higher than 25%.

I wonder if it's true that the US car production will grind to a halt within a week as some analysts say. That would be huge!

Or just keep pushing it back another month because of how bad of an idea it is

This Alberta visit… it gives me the same feeling i got before Zelensky’s recent visit to the white house. Too good of a showmanship moment not to stir drama. Anybody else sharing my concerns?

He's not going to go

visit to annexation of Alberta.

There is 0% chance he will allow the oil/gas to stop flowing. The visit is just like his meeting with Zelensky. It's to manufacture a reason for his aggression. Once the country is cut in half we're divided and lose access to goods from both coasts. The eastern portion would be restricted to cheap goods from Asia except through him. Economically we'd take a huge hit, and it would be easy for him to mop up the remainders.
