Low IQ: The tariffs wont happen, Trump won’t do them.
Mid IQ: The tariffs will happen, Trump is SERIOUS this time.
High IQ: The tariffs wont happen, Trump won’t do them.

I almost prefer we get tariffed instead of complying with the madman diplomacy, but a deal’s a deal.
Hopefully we don’t have to deal with another round of Trump trying to strongarm us in a month.

I’m guessing this is a mixture of police and other law enforcement?
Otherwise Todd came through again.

Someone on the sub called it on the “Fentanyl Czar” position.

The nothing-ever-happens bros need to realize that we are still going to be living under this shit for years until he pulls the trigger or finally, *finally* dies.
So we don’t want to hear it.

Country leaders dealing with Trump feels like an adult jingling keys in front of a baby to distract him from doing something stupid.
Doing meaningless gestures that only serve to spend money that appease Trump because they are flashy and makes him feel powerful and in control.

Mexico and Canada are both adding 10k personnel to their borders. Seems *positive*?

Both Canada and Mexico gave concessions designed to sound way more significant than they actually are because that’s how you win over toddler brained Trump.

So it seems like almost all of this is stuff they are already doing?

Listing cartels as terrorists is actually a big deal, no?
Mexico was terrified the US would do that because it would give them a justification for military action on Mexican territory.

What I think we have all learned here is to hold short positions once tariffs are announced and then execute on the day of enactment. Then take those earnings and buy the dip when the stock market drops then rinse and repeat.

I’m glad we’re solving the Canadian Fent Crisis that no one was aware of as of last month. I’ll be picking up my car from the blinker fluid change place soon.

Really stupid that it took all this bullshit to get here, but all of this actually does seem like good moves. I live in Vancouver, and the amount of fentanyl and money laundering through real estate and casinos that just happens out in the open is actually insane. Cooperation in dealing with these issues would be a good thing

I don’t get it. Does it make him feel good that other countries have armed forces/law enforcement in strength on the borders of his country?

Trump threatening tariffs on your country? Just appoint a “____ Czar” where blank is whatever issue Trump is bitching to you about.

I have a feeling that Canadians won’t go back to US alcohol though.

After all that we gained a border Czar and the hatred of 40 million Canadians. What a bang up deal for the US

This is all saber ratling on Trump’s part. Not that I trust him if this game of chicken doesn’t work out.
