It’s a very predictable result to this antagonizing. Tariff too high for the market and the idiot will self-embargo himself out of inputs that grow food, fuel cars, and make goods.
And he wants more oil pipelines even as he goes.

I am so tired of this guy
Do it you fucking limp dick
I am so fucking embarrassed that my fellow citizens elected this fucktard instead of the extremely qualified and dignified Kamala Harris.
I hate it here.
Since he's such a steaming pile of shit, he will likely use any escalation as a pretext for military action.
Shut the fuck up, Donnie. You're out of your element.
Anywhere that isn't a high needs retirement home or a mental hospital is out of his element

It's funny that he's trying to imply that he's reacting to our tariffs by saying the US ones are reciprocal, but then immediately contradicts that by (correctly) identifying ours as retaliatory.
Which is it, Don? How do we retaliate against something we allegedly started? Stupid fucking lying bastard. US stocks are plummeting and I hope it continues. FAFO.
All stocks are plummeting.
Yeah, that happens during trade wars. I'm prepared for things to get a lot worse before they improve (if they ever do). Rapid inflation, here we come!
Fucking impeach this clown, what the fuck are people waiting for?
The midterms when we can hopefully replace his yes men in Congress.
„Democracy” is clearly not working.
Let’s try it again in two years.

Canadians, join the EU, or at least sign a truly comprehensive trade deal. We have adults you can have actual conversations with.
I have to think all these extra EU visits and Canada weighing in on EU-Ukraine peace discussions means we’re headed in that direction.

Look forward to the day that orange shit stain is dead. Hopefully tonight.
Americans: Just imagine the White House is an elementary school…
This guy is gonna start a war.
Economic warfare is warfare, just not with guns.
He already did. Tariffs are an act of war, especially when overtly related to annexation goals (as is the case here).
"Man who does not what what a tariff is launches his second trade war"
54k likes? These idiots don't realize that this man child is hurting them, too.
I'm sure there's no shortage of actual stupid people, but don't forget that he's posting to truth social. Something tells me they lack robust bot detection measures.
Thank you sir, may I have another. Harder this time, daddy.
To infinity, and beyond!
I don’t really give a fuck, I’d rather us do something.
OK Donnie
Yeah I mean... ok. Let's just go up to 100% both ways. FAFO, Salting the Earth edition. Canada will still trade with Europe and Mexico.
In 6 months, he's going to be talking about how Canada started this trade war.
I've already seen (USian) conservatives claiming that
He hasn't already?
Six months? At this pace I'm expecting tomorrow.
In 6 months the trade might drop from trade war.

He's basically saying it now. He is calling his current tariff "reciprocal".

Ok it's starting to feel like a game now. Can we cause American hyperinflation by a targeted tariff feedback loop?
Tbh, I've been pondering just how regulated organized market manipulation is nowadays. With the market going through "corrections" because of tariffs and the FCC being completely defanged, a large group of organized retail investors have the opportunity to get up to some pretty funny business.

Or like the sort of thing a hostile foreign government might really want to have happen to the US...
Good thing we have agent Krasnov at the helm.
