That's it! Tariffs back on! 50%
What’s 15,000 + 10,000 foolThat's it! Tariffs back on! 50%
Fran McCaffeySo what should i be outraged about now
But market didn't “tank” today…like many predicted. 😉The market is still down from when the tariffs were announced. Something that never needed to happen in the first place. Nice win though. LOL!
Why wasn't that made more clear from the start?Securing borders for sure
He’s only said it 1000s of timesWhy wasn't that made more clear from the start?
Source of him saying it thousands of times?He’s only said it 1000s of times
He’s only said it 1000s of times
Tariffs only lifted for a month…gives Mexico time to balance the trade. 😜Over a month ago. Again, he said he'd lift the tariffs once Mexico balanced trade with the US. Did that happen?
That $1.5 billion in smart technology security for the border Biden negotiated, really paid off in stopping the flow of illegals crossing the border, didn't it?Biden secured help from Mexico without risking our markets. He simply sat down with them and negotiated like a real adult. It's ok to admit that Trump is inept here.

Mexico agrees to invest $1.5B in 'smart' border technology
Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador has agreed during meetings with President Joe Biden to spend $1.5 billion over the next two years to improve “smart” border technology.apnews.com
Libs have gone insane.That $1.5 billion in smart technology security for the border Biden negotiated, really paid off in stopping the flow of illegals crossing the border, didn't it?
So the only thing I've seen him say about borders and fentanyl is an interview last night, well after he already threatened the tariffs.Himself
And you’re a good little lib. Keep ripping on everything that Trump does.You're a good, little MAGA.
Keep drinking the kool aid.
If true - Mexico did a “piss poor” job of “protecting” the border. 😜LOL. Mexico did the same thing when Biden was president. I don't recall the threat of tarrifs being the impetus for that.
From November:So the only thing I've seen him say about borders and fentanyl is an interview last night, well after he already threatened the tariffs.
So, I guess, close to thousands.
Damn, thank you, finally someone provides a source.From November:
The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States

Trump's tariffs in his first term did little to alter the economy, but this time could be different
Donald Trump loved to use tariffs during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries.apnews.com
Why is this so hard for some of you to do your own research
She played him like a fiddle."Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is currently giving her morning news conference, in which she is detailing the phone call with Trump that appears to have led to today's agreement.
The Mexican government clearly sees this as a victory.
After discussing fentanyl and the deployment of additional Mexican National Guard troops to the border, Sheinbaum says she "explained the seriousness of high-powered weapons arriving to Mexico from the US" and into the hands of criminal groups.
"It gives them firepower," she adds. "We asked that the US also help our country by helping stop this arms trafficking...he agreed."
Among the most important elements, she adds, will be whether any disruption to the flow of weapons brings down violence in Mexico, and whether drug trafficking can be disrupted.
"We have this month to work and convince ourselves, among everyone, that this is the best path," Sheinbaum adds. "High-level dialogue will help. It's good news that [the tariffs] are paused.
She says, however, that they've "saved" their "plan B" - in case tariffs do eventually happen - "for now".

What kind of bullshit response is this? Tarrifs aren't a game. They're serious stuff that can make or break entire economies. And he can't give it to us straight?
Apparently, Biden’s deal didn’t work. 😉Again, how did Joe get a $1.5 billion deal without tanking our markets first?
The wall will get built during Trump’s 2nd term.Ohhh but that's the irony here. Most pushing against spending all of that money on a big beautiful wall have been fine with a modernization of border patrol/control, including more policing, drones, etc. (which is essentially the point of the Biden article Huey linked above). So Trump is now asking for the same thing, while still not getting his steel wall paid for.
Lol so trump claiming victory because Canada is implementing what they already announced 12/18/24?!? Hahaha what a idiot. Glad we almost imploded the economy for it.
The Government of Canada’s Border Plan: significant investments to strengthen border security and our immigration system - Canada.ca
Canada is investing $1.3 billion to bolster security at the border and strengthen the immigration system, all while keeping Canadians safe.www.canada.ca
10,0000 is not a few troops. Why is it bad that they are doing their part to help enforce the border?So we put out tariffs -
To bring back jobs to the US - they last 48 hours
Extreme backlash in the markets
Mexico states we will put a few troops on the border
Tariffs pulled back.
This is Dumb. Using tariffs is an extreme way to do business. Utilizing them for tit for tat negotiating is extreme overkill. It will take a beating on confidence in the market.
Thats not my argument, figure out what the really issue is. And immigration isn't it. This is all a power move by trump using a blunt force tool, that if used causes more harm. Hence why as soon as the market tanks . . . he caves.10,0000 is not a few troops. Why is it bad that they are doing their part to help enforce the border?
Well, I assume Mexico tariffs won’t happen in 30 days as long as Mexico lives up to the terms of today’s agreement. 🤔This is why Trump has been repeatedly proven to be a terrible deal maker, but a great con artist.
What’s the metric Mexico will be measured by in 30 days? Trump put a timeline on himself when normally he gives the vague, “In a few weeks/months”, word salad.
He got played today, but the rubes lap it up. The question remains, what happens in 30 days? Another 30 days? Then, another?
Just exposed, flailing lying leftists spewing propagandaLol so trump claiming victory because Canada is implementing what they already announced 12/18/24?!? Hahaha what a idiot. Glad we almost imploded the economy for it.

He didn't cave. The President of Mexico offered to help reinforce the border with 10,000 troops. The border has been the issue.Thats not my argument, figure out what the really issue is. And immigration isn't it. This is all a power move by trump using a blunt force tool, that if used causes more harm. Hence why as soon as the market tanks . . . he caves.
He’s prolly from the “School of Hard Knocks”. 😉If you think you have a higher education...post like it.
Not the stupid shit you're known for.
I don’t know if a 600 point DOW drop is “tanking”, but even if your scenario is true…at least Trump had the common sense to reverse course. 😘Thats not my argument, figure out what the really issue is.

Common Sense would say not to put them in place.I don’t know if a 600 point DOW drop is “tanking”, but even if your scenario is true…at least Trump had the common sense to reverse course. 😘
This won't do anything to stop fentanyl from entering the USA.This is obviously not the purpose of the threatened tariffs...
I knew it would be considered a win by the MAGA base because of the 10,000 additional troops. @ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays is all in the "Mexico is going to pay for it" ride this time around.
Meanwhile, Barron is railing Melanie.
I don't care who you are "you have no idea how to negotiate anything except a handjob In a bathhouse" is funny as shit.This is why Trump is president and you’re a worthless Marxist keyboard warrior. You have no idea how to negotiate anything except a handjob in a bathhouse.
Apparently, Biden’s deal didn’t work. 😉
The wall will get built during Trump’s 2nd term.
