Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
I wonder how long Trump and his buddies are going to be able to ignore the mess they are making of the stock market now which hurts his businesses world supporters. It certainly is going to hurt US car companies hard.
At this point it’s probably good if he continues with more tariffs. If these were all suddenly removed tomorrow his base would still believe he knows good economic policy. More tariffs will continue to hurt the economy decisively showing them how bad these isolationist policies are.
Obviously the economy will be hurt by tariffs, but that’s the point and a worthwhile sacrifice for a sustained healthy economic policy in the future.
This is all on purpose to tank the American economy and put the country in such chaos that Trump can call an emergency, suspend the constitution indefinitely and the GOP can stay in power. All the while there will be a mass redistribution of wealth so great to the already rich that everyone else will be destitute.
