Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.

Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

    Something occurred to me while watching some news yesterday. It won’t take ICE raids removing people from farms for the effect to materialize. The fear from raids will cause people to stop showing up for work at the farms before that. That’s why I think we’ll see the effects on food prices quicker.

      Absolutely, the results are already visible, and prices in the US keep rising.

      People voted trump to make the inflation go down and he just started a trade war with Canada and Mexico and is about to start one with Europe

      Seriously, by the time he’s gone, the US will be in shambles. Soft power will have evaporated, any good deals they had world wide will be gone, the US will likely never recover
