That would be Lockheed Martin, and isn't going to happen.

Trump's a walking timer. He's fat and old. Eats like a pig.

I don't have any faith in Vance changing the tone or approach at all. Maybe he'll be a little less sporadic but I'm not hopefully.

Seriously how did you dumb ####s manage to elect this dumb ####?

Like ####ing come on. You deserve all the economic hardships coming your way.

I understand the sentiment, but the reality is that only 75 million of 340 million people in the US voted for him. There are a lot of people down there that despise trump as much as us, and I am not going to make enemies of all of them unnecessarily.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on unjustified U.S. tariffs against Canada:

“Today, after a 30-day pause, the United States administration has decided to proceed with imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian exports and 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian energy. Let me be unequivocally clear – there is no justification for these actions.

“While less than 1 per cent of the fentanyl intercepted at the U.S. border comes from Canada, we have worked relentlessly to address this scourge that affects Canadians and Americans alike. We implemented a $1.3 billion border plan with new choppers, boots on the ground, more co-ordination, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. We appointed a Fentanyl Czar, listed transnational criminal cartels as terrorist organizations, launched the Joint Operational Intelligence Cell, and are establishing a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force on organized crime. Because of this work – in partnership with the United States – fentanyl seizures from Canada have dropped 97 per cent between December 2024 and January 2025 to a near-zero low of 0.03 pounds seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

“Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered. Should American tariffs come into effect tonight, Canada will, effective 12:01 a.m. EST tomorrow, respond with 25 per cent tariffs against $155 billion of American goods – starting with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately, and tariffs on the remaining $125 billion on American products in 21 days’ time. Our tariffs will remain in place until the U.S. trade action is withdrawn, and should U.S. tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions with provinces and territories to pursue several non-tariff measures. While we urge the U.S. administration to reconsider their tariffs, Canada remains firm in standing up for our economy, our jobs, our workers, and for a fair deal.

“Because of the tariffs imposed by the U.S., Americans will pay more for groceries, gas, and cars, and potentially lose thousands of jobs. Tariffs will disrupt an incredibly successful trading relationship. They will violate the very trade agreement that was negotiated by President Trump in his last term.”

Use it to manufacture Fentanyl a get as much of it into every red state as possible.

[Paulie Walnuts]

He keeps talking about getting ripped off and it being a terrible deal calling the person who negotiated it an idiot.

Donald you negotiated the deal you dumb dumb fat thing.

More tariffs coming April 2nd.

[Manhattanboy]

What a ####ing fool. Ran on reducing inflation. Ha hope Americans see prices going up in real time.

And with nothing but yes men working for this narcissistic ####### there is no one to tell him how stupid he is.

Fentanyl? Wait a second, I thought this was about the "$200 billion" trade deficit they had with us? Trump even said so a couple of days ago. Or maybe it's because we won that hockey game a couple of weeks ago?

Seriously, these idiots have no idea why they're applying tariffs, or even how a tariff works. This is all just to satisfy the orange goblin's stupid, childish ego, and hard working people on both sides of the border are going to suffer because of it.

There's no negotiation that will satisfy America, this is just an ego thing for them and they want to usher back a world where the strong just bully their neighbors and even take it over

Someone slip some fentanyl into Trump's morning cocktail of ####.
