    Remember, the same reasons we’re critical of Trump’s tariffs (just hurts your own economy, ends up as just an extra tax on consumers) apply to our counter tariffs. I want to punish the US for their actions, but were the tariffs even helping us?

    I think the rhetoric we’re hearing from Trump is a sign that we’re going to get a good deal. But I do think any “good” deal with Trump will be a net negative and it will be a long 4 years.

      And he might roll out of bed one morning at 3am and decide it’s all over again. Hit the truth social with his one eye open, and that’s that.

      I don’t want to trade with the US at all, they can make tariffs on both sides 500% for all I care.

      The economy won’t rebuild without the US unless we get rid of trading with the US.

      As far as I’ll go is anyone transporting goods across the border should be found guilty of treason.
