I was chatting with friends in the logistics business about the tariffs. They mentioned other countries have been prioritizing trade with countries other than the US for a few weeks now. Of course this practice will now accelerate as the US becomes an international trade pariah. In a recent interview Trump admitted he plans for similar tariffs with the EU nations.

Yes, it will.

And those countries are retaliating, as one would expect.

The US president said the move was in response to his concerns about illegal immigration and drug trafficking - two of the main promises on which he was elected.

In response, both Canada and Mexico said they were preparing similar tariffs on US goods, while China added it would take "necessary countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests".


Concerns about illegal immigration? From Canada??? He's a mental midget, showing signs of dementia. A walking poster boy for Dunning-Kruger.

All y'all were concerned about inflation? That's why you voted for the Felon? Buckle-up...inflation is probably going to get a lot worse.

Though I do approve of the tariffs on China...we should be working to end all trade with them, and removing MFN status. By trading with them, we are basically funding their military build-up.

Mexico is implementing their mysterious "Plan B". I guess we have to wait to see what exactly that is...

Tell that to the family of the Border Patrol agent recently shot and killed in an encounter with illegal immigrants as he was patrolling the Vermont Border with Canada.

On January 20, 2025, following a traffic stop, United States Border Patrol agent David Maland was killed in a shootout with Teresa Youngblut, who was wounded, and German national Ophelia Bauckholt. The pair were traveling south on Interstate 91 in Coventry in Northern Vermont.

Yeah...no.

A "German national" is not necessarily illegal. And they didn't get their guns from Canada (not allowed there).

At the time, Bauckholt appeared to have an expired visa, according to a Department of Homeland Security database, but investigators later confirmed that his visa was current, the FBI said.

It was an immigration stop. Visa was current. They were just some thugs with guns.

Took me about 15 seconds to verify this. Are you watching Faux Noise and OANN again? If you're going to persist, at least subscribe to Ground News which will show you (or anyone) what holes ("blind spots") they have in the media they consume.
