US president says measures against Mexico, Canada and China will ‘all be worth the price’

Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic “pain” from his tariffs on key trading partners.

“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters on his Truth social media platform, a day after signing off on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.

“But we will Make America Great Again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid,” he added.

    “Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)”

    Small potatoes at this point but it’s amazing that this schtick still works. Really shows how gullible people are and how simple his act is relative to how well it works. This sentence means he doesn’t know shit about what these tariffs will cause. That’s what it means.

    But to Trump supporters, if it causes pain he was right (he said it right there) and if doesn’t he was also right (he said it right there). Amazing . Truly the greatest con artist of all time, especially considering how low-effort his act is.
