Summary
Trump announced that 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will take effect on February 1, though a decision on including oil remains pending.
He justified the move by citing undocumented migration, fentanyl trafficking, and trade deficits.
Trump also hinted at new tariffs on China.
Canada and Mexico plan retaliatory measures while seeking to address U.S. concerns.
If oil imports are taxed, it could raise costs for businesses and consumers, potentially contradicting Trump’s pledge to reduce living expenses.
When the people can’t even afford the lumber to make the guillotines, what do we do then?
We take the lumber…
There is strength in numbers, and in solidarity! They cannot kill us all, because they need us more than we need them!
If empty platitudes could strike down the bourgeois, you’d be the greatest hero our world has ever known.
