He negotiated those dairy tariffs. It's a pretty good deal for the US as they only kick in after a threshold we've never hit.
Trump wants 50% tariffs
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk
- Start date
and Trump still signed the deal he's complaining about.
it's clear the new conservative talking points are "these economic issues aren't a big deal and/or they are the result of the actions the trump administration is taking and will be fine in the long run"
but responses like johnson's make it painfully clear - at minimum - the people just outside trumps inner/billionaire donor circle have no idea what's going on now or what will happen in the future
Understanding details is not MichaelKeller's forte here... (or anywhere)
I thought the the majority of the “supposed” border concessions that Trump touted, were already going into place based on negotiations that the Biden administration worked out.
Glad everyone lost a huge chunk of their investments/401Ks value so that something that never effected us to begin with, won’t happen.
"Meh — the stock market was too high, anyway. Get over it, libtards."
First term before covid was Obama's economy.
that's a chyron that Baghdad bob would be proud of
Trump doubles down. No longer fentanyl but electricity!
you can always tell the second trump thinks he's losing leverage...because the woe is me victim card comes outTrump doubles down. No longer fentanyl but electricity!
BuT tHe InNoCeNt PeOpLe!!!!!!
Yeah, it sucks making huge margins.
No senator has more consistently embarrassed themselves that tuberville.
from the same guy using the continuance of a war as a bargaining chip...
I think he must believe the path to a positive presidential legacy is territory expansion. Like Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase.
I'm telling you that the USMCA doesn't address every commodity and/or every potential tariff differential...
Such an Alpha. If I had an 80 year old relative speaking like that. I wouldn’t want them making any financial decisions.Trump doubles down. No longer fentanyl but electricity!
Umm, the tariffs on dairy only kicked in after the previously agreed upon quota was met. We export more dairy into Canada than they export to us. The tariffs only are in place to protect the small farmers in Canada, unlike the US they value the small farmer.Before January 1st, Canada had tariffs on certain U.S. products, primarily in sectors protected under its supply management system. These included:
· Dairy Products: Tariffs ranged from 200% to 300% on items like milk, cheese, and butter to protect Canadian dairy farmers.
· Poultry and Eggs: Similar high tariffs were applied to chicken, turkey, and eggs.
· Grain Products: Some grains faced tariffs, though these were generally lower than those on dairy and poultry.
These tariffs were part of Canada's long-standing trade policies to support domestic industries.

Any one notice how the usual board maga laughs emojis responders have gone quiet lately?!
So why does a celebrated trade agreement touted as the "fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law" not address such things? Seems as though that would be something that a "master negotiator" wouldn't overlook or omit.
Kinda weird that he didn’t complain about these at the time tho.
Once X is back up and running, they'll have their marching orders, again.
Yuuuuuuuuge margins are for the beta cucks, libtards, and poors. Sad!

It's almost like a dipshit football coach with no governing experience was elected to the U.S. Senate!
He’s a terrible negotiator. His only strategy is to bully and wear out smaller opponents with fewer financial resources.
It’s like he’s reverting to the days of beating up on small contractors.
The USMCA was already violated by Trump, and for the love of god, please learn the difference between an export tax and a tariff before you try to enter into a trade was discussion.
Talking about annexing them is going only make them dig their heels in more. Trump must not get how much he’s pissed the Canucks off.
They wouldn't just be the 51st state — they would be the *cherished* 51st state.
Is this true Michael? It appears as though nobody in Canada has been paying any tarriff on U.S. dairy products because of a large threshold that was carved out before any tarriffs actually kicked in. Isn't that kind of an important element of the policy that you omitted?Before January 1st, Canada had tariffs on certain U.S. products, primarily in sectors protected under its supply management system. These included:
· Dairy Products: Tariffs ranged from 200% to 300% on items like milk, cheese, and butter to protect Canadian dairy farmers.
