A day after offering Canada a one-month reprieve on punishing nearly across-the-board 25% tariffs, President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs as soon as Friday on Canadian lumber and dairy products.
You’re a better person than I am if you can. There is a firehose of bullshit coming at us right now.
Him “thinking about” or “threatening” doing shit is a distraction until it gets to the next step. Him “moving” to do shit is him actually having started the process.
What I mean is the whole threats of tariffs thing is distracting people from the hollowing out of the government and checks / balances that make it a democracy. Removing protections against and sanctions on Russia. Pouring all the goodwill and trust on the stage of world politics down the drain. Who stands to benefit from an isolated US and infighting within NATO?
Can’t we do both?
