  • Says the guy who literally decided to slap tariffs on Canada over a flimsy pretext.

    If his goal is really to depreciate the USD, he’s doing a fucking good job while sabotaging Canada at the same time. Not sure if he thinks this’ll make Canadians consider moving their businesses there, which is one of his goals, but this is also a man-child who doesn’t understand empathy and assumes everyone works like the stone-cold (failure of a) businessperson he is. There’ll be some who’d do that, but idk if they’ll find a depreciated USD all that alluring to earn. Trump essentially wants the US to become China though, as the global factory of sorts, and wants to force others to buy US products, in a way that so far seems to be more heavy-handed than China, who typically looks more for weak points and pressures other nations into buying their products if they don’t already buy enough. He claims that this’ll make Americans rich, but in truth, this only enriches the rich, just like, well, right in China.

    Might be my dumb 2 cents but it’s what I’ve gathered from the material consequences of his actions so far.
