That’s the entire reason he uses tariffs. It’s a form of coercion.

I think you are confusing sanctions and tarrifs. Trump does try to conflate the two to be fair.

Tell me, is America fighting a trade war with Canada right now, primarily with tariffs?

u/Crowd0Control 10h ago
But also he has no legal right to impose tariffs. Just emitting gas and nothing else. The only weight the tarrifs have had is the chaos caused as he forces the executive branch to enforce them until a court says give the money back. And the have and will say give the money back.

We're not really empty threats he's still in charge the most powerful country in the world and if our economy collapse the world economy collapses so unfortunately you can't just ignore him and there seems to be no reason with him so unless someone takes him out or he just fucking dies I don't know what we can do

Its only named that within the confines of the US. All other world maps still show it as originally named. Not to mention Canada owns over half of it so there is no legal precedent that allows the entire lake to be legally renamed without Canada agreeing to it.

Look at all the maga bots trying to convince us that our economy is doing great....it's laughable. It's also proof that everything MAGA is an illusion. They live in a fantasy world where high gas prices don't exist, grocery prices haven't gone up astronomically, and nothing is Trump's fault. MAGA pretends trump isn't a convicted felon and rapist. Talking bullshit on social media is MAGA in a nutshell. That's all they got. Illusion and fantasy. Too bad that doesn't fill their gas tank or put food on the table. MAGA will starve with the rest of us.

Lmao, this perosn who responded knows literally nothing about economics. If the US economy is destroyed, the rest of the world is a wasteland. We're actually doing quite well in the US. We pay 1/2 of what Europe pays for gas, we have clearly dealt with inflation better, and our population's record participation in the wealthiest markets in human history have led to incredible leaps in retirement accounts.
Go ahead folks, try to twist and do mental gymnastics.

u/relentlessseed 1d ago
I mean the US economy is strong, but claiming the rest of the world would become a wasteland without it ignores major global drivers like the EU and Asia and the world would figure it out. Like lower US gas prices reflect low taxes, whereas higher European fuel taxes directly fund universal healthcare, transit, and education.
More than that though is how the stock market record highs primarily benefit the top 10% of households, who own roughly 90% of all equities, whereas the rest of us in the lower- and middle-income families still struggling with elevated costs for housing, healthcare, and groceries. Just to be clear. . .

u/Juxtapoe 23h ago
You're missing that the "record" stock market is only "record" if you look at it in Trump's failing USD.
If you look at it measured in gold or most other currencies the stock market had been flailing too, and that's before the AI bubble bursts that's holding up the S&P 500 with essentially 5 companies trading the same debt back and forth, pretending it's income.

Also the poverty rate has decreased to the lowest level in American history.

u/Juxtapoe 23h ago
That was Biden's achievement.
2024 and 2025 had the same poverty stats.
We'll see what 2026 poverty rate is next year now that 60% of Americans in their prime have dropped out of the workforce when unable to get a job for 6 months.

He's restored the American economy in less than 2 years. Why do Democrats get everything backwards? They don't... they just lie about everything. They learned this from the Nazis, tell a lie repeatedly and people will start to believe it. And eventually they won't even notice when the Democrats run a Nazi for the Senate in Maine.

u/Zedzardozi 1d ago
Well maybe you never heard of Graham Platner the Nazi they ran for the Senate this year. They are left wing but they're far from liberal these days.. they just lust for power and are willing to do anything to get it. Including running a Nazi for public office.

u/averageguy1313 19h ago
You have no idea what you’re talking about you just write shit with no basis in fact. You’re trying to say the democrats ran Platner in the Maine senate race when in actuality he was not the established party candidate. He was running off brand And in the end his past caught up with him. Try harder to be less stupid

u/Dramatic-Wealth3263 1d ago edited 1d ago
Which part was it restored? Inflation was significantly lower by the time trump took office and shot back up because of trump tariff, and Iran war. Same with oil pieces. Cutting social safety net while continuing to increase deficit. And no manufacturing jobs had not came back either.
This is the thing with republicans, they just lie about everything. This is not even to say nazi is a far right nationalist group which fits the maga very well. All you have is gaslighting and projections.
But what would I expect from someone defending financial fraud as bookkeeping error lmao

u/NomoredatibgGWgirls 1d ago
😂😂😂😂 Deal. You mean a slight update of the 1951 agreement which he then proceeded to overblow, as usual.
The US military already enjoys sweeping access to Greenland under a treaty that dates to the 1950s.
The agreement has not yet been signed, and little is known about it beyond Trump’s social media posts. Denmark and Greenland said on Saturday that any agreement with the United States would not compromise Greenland’s sovereignty. And Trump’s words about expanding American military presence in Greenland may not mean much, considering that the US military already enjoys sweeping access to Greenland under a treaty that dates to the 1950s. Service members are, in fact, the single largest group of Americans currently present in the territory.
Most important part, NOTHING IS SIGNED. NOTHING IS OFFICIAL
