U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he’s terminating all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately.
“We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period,” Trump said in a social media post.
He says he’s pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its digital services tax (DST), which requires web giants pay a special tax.
Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users — a policy enacted by former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government that the Parliamentary Budget Office projects will bring in billions of dollars in revenue.
How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.
Right, but he can’t raise income tax very much, and he needs money to give to all the rich fuckers, so a big federal sales tax “disguised” as a tariff is a decent way to raise funds.
Don’t need to raise the income tax. The government makes up the money. Could simply turn on the printers and give to the billionaire. The cruelty is the point as it always is.
He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.
He also knows that if he just repeats things people will believe them, even in spite of evidence they can see, feel and touch.
What a stupid timeline, in which the above is true🙄
hes also been obsessed with tariffs since forever.
I’m not certain what he knows or does not know. In any case, his message to MAGA is clear, Canada will pay, and they’ll believe it.
I mean, he did make Mexico pay for the wall that he built. Right guys? He did, didn’t he? Fox News said that he did, and they wouldn’t lie, right?!?
Nah. Fox News is (usually) more subtle than that. They simply stop talking about fails. And that’s all it takes. Just stop talking about the fail and talk about something else. Why bother lying when you can STFU and get the same or better results?
Of course he did! Do you not remember? It was in the summer of 2022. President Biden launched a surprise nuclear assault on France. Every major American city was leveled. With NATO in ruins, Mexico built a wall to hold back the tide of refugees above the border. They also sent humanitarian and financial assistance, thanks to a deal masterminded by Trump.
simspons did an episode of a retalitory french nuclear strike.

It’s not so much whether or not he knows it, so much as how much he cares. He knows what he says will get his base riled up, and that’s what he likes. It strokes his ego and gives him more power.
That could be true, but he is dumb enough to not understand. Malice or ignorance are always possibilities.
Oh he knows. He’s just compelled to lie by whatever that jelly is in his head that is a brain in normal people.
