YouTube is also littered with trolls and bots.

Oh, and during that presser she once again parroted the 51st state crap and threw out a bunch of stats (likely made up) about how the cost of living is much higher in Canada and that we'd all be better off becoming a state.

Continuously threatening us is putting targets on their backs.

Well, at least giving in to Trump now will prevent problems in the future.

I don't think they gave up anything. Lutnick agreed to a meeting in DC on Thursday with Canadian trade minister Dominic LeBlanc with Ford in tow to apparently discuss potential renegotiation of USMCA. Sounds like Carney might be sworn in by then and will possibly be joining them according to CBC. We'll see how this goes, but this might be the off-ramp that the administration is looking for to back away from tariffs and make it look like a win for Trump.


...or Trump changes his mind and keeps levelling threats and doing continuous 30-day pauses. Who the hell knows.

No, it's true. Also looks like US is lifting it's own (additional) 25% tariff on aluminum and steel.

I would not want to be a person who has to manage tariffs at a large company. I have on idea how you could keep up with this with complicate supply chains. Talk about a productivity killer.

It has been a disaster.

Customs brokerages are falling apart at the seams.

Love how Ford completely shut down the 51st state nonsense and immediately moved on from it when the reporter brought it up. I think it's important that we stop giving air time to that stupid bulls***.

Same with Trump's Nazi press secretary. All she does is parrot the exact same crap, and there's maybe only one legit journalist in the room now at those things? It's just insane state propaganda at this point.

Leavitt is the poster-child for everything that is wrong with the Republican party. Outright makes up stuff, and gets angry when you question her on it. How dare you speak back to me? How dare you don't just swallow up the BS I'm feeding you? How dare you question your masters?

That said, I think in a one-on-one conversation with Karoline Leavitt she could goad me into slapping her in like 2 minutes flat.

It feels weird to be cheering for a major recession and massive spike in unemployment.

I want the average MAGA voter to feel the consequences of electing a complete buffoon.

Mostly because it's the second or third time they cast a vote for ideocracy, and they should reap what they sowed.

I know what you’re saying but I’d change that to “all MAGA voters.” None of them should be immune.

Leavitt is an absolute piece of trash, much like the rest of Trump's circus. Every time I see her face, I can't unsee Miss Piggy.
