      WASHINGTON (AP) — The 25% tax that President Donald Trump plans to slap on imports from Canada and Mexico as soon as Saturday could drive up the price of everything from gasoline and pickup trucks, to Super Bowl party guacamole dip.

      The tariffs would also invite retaliation. Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, has already vowed to counterpunch by pulling American alcohol off store shelves in the Canadian province – no idle threat; Canada is the world’s No. 2 market for America’s distilled spirits (behind the 27-nation European Union).

      Trump’s tariffs threaten to blow up the trade agreement he himself negotiated with America’s neighbors in his first term. His U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement – “the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law,’’ Trump once declared -- was supposed to bring predictability to North American trade, giving businesses the confidence to make investments.

      I never thought he would actually do it, but here we are. Maybe needs to deflect attention from what his horrible handling of the airliner/blackhawk tragedy.

      And yes, he negotiated these agreements that he now says position the US as a loser.
      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            He counts on his base having either no understanding of tariffs and trade or no attention span or memory, or likely both.

                      What's the end game here then? This isn't a threat to get some sort behavior change? You think American companies can just immediately fill the void? You think American companies have the ability to ever fill the void?

                          I'm not sure there is an end game. Trump is reactive. He is cunning and Machiavellian but he isn't particularly bright about things like economics. Buckle up

                            He's just trying to make sure that he continues to be on at least two different sides of every issue.

                              So Trump is ordering federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures or face a penalty. I understand and actually agree with not mandating that they do that. But this is a restriction of free speech. He is also talking about canceling the student visa's of those who participated in pro-Gaza protests, even if they didn't violate the law. It seems unnecessary. I'm sure the intellectual dark web will rush to the front line on this.

Perhaps a Renaissance fair or some LARPing would do the trick. If you're really adventurous maybe some golf or a pro sporting event.
                                You simped for this guy for the last 4 years, does one only need to go LARPing when they disagree with Trump?
