Summary
Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China sparked backlash from business groups, economists, and some Republicans, who warn of rising prices and economic disruption.
The tariffs—25% on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10% on Chinese goods—prompted retaliatory measures from Canada and Mexico.
Critics, including the US Chamber of Commerce, call them a tax on American consumers. Economists estimate a $200 billion hit to the US economy, with inflation rising.
Trump defended the move, even suggesting Canada should become the US’s “51st state.”
It’s far simpler that his handlers are foreign and actors who want the nation destroyed so they can chop it up and auction off the pieces. That motive fits.
His new inner circle are not his handlers; they are new recruits who want to be first in line to buy up the pieces. A billionaire is not a patriot. They don’t give two fucks about society - that’s why they’re billionaires.
