    What if we show him the supply and demand curve that demonstrates the deadweight loss? He’ll change his mind and everyone will clap.

    S&P 500 up half a percent today. Can’t tell if Wall Street still think he’s bluffing, or if they’re just morons who think tariffs are good.

  3. Trump *says* a lot of crap. The lesson after ten years of his bs is to wait until pen meets paper before freaking out.

    “We may or may not. We’re going to make that determination probably tonight,” 

    Just do it now you fat fuck. Get your skinny man servant to bring out that order and a pen and sign it 

  5. > We may or may not. We’re going to make that determination probably tonight,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

    He’s so scared of committing to this one

  6. If the United States tariffs Canada, Canada should ban the export of all potash to the United States and any country forwarding our exports to the US or if we do not want to block it, we should add extremely high export tariffs to it.

    * Potash is a key ingredient in fertilizers
    * US domestically produces very little and Canada provides something like 95% of their supply
    * The only countries that could replace us are Russia, Belarus, and China
    * The potash industry in Canada employs less than 10,000 people (mostly in Saskatchewan) who can be compensated
    * Canadian exports on potash to the US are about $5 billion a year
    * we could also do the same to our fertilizer exports which are also about $5 billion a year

    Summary: it isn’t that big an industry in Canada and those impacted can be compensated entirely for about the cost of the GST holiday and it would be extremely impactful to the US and their agriculture industry. These are kinds of small impact to Canada, large impact to the US things we can focus on.

  7. > WASHINGTON, Jan 30 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would likely decide by the end of the day whether to put a 25% tariff on imports of Mexican and Canadian oil that would take effect on Feb 1.

    > “We may or may not. We’re going to make that determination probably tonight,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

    !ping can

  8. Torn between thinking an economic collapse is the only way to save our democracy and not wanting innocents, particularly in the other 2 countries, to suffer

  9. Well, guess I have to bring this up at my work since no one else wants to. Not like we import a ton of products from Canada or anything, no sir!

  10. It’s hard to take anything Trump says seriously until he does it. Maybe he will, maybe he’ll fold again.

    He’s taking a lot of heat over the past few days on domestic troubles. This could be yet another attempt to control the media cycle.
