Trump imposes tariffs on a staunch ally, and then has a fucking hissy fit when they refuse to take it lying down.

Obama laid down and ate the tariffs..... passed them on to US

So...yeah.

Yet we’re supposed to just live with their tariffs. Why should that be? We’re their ally too so why does it have to be one sided?

Canada eliminated tariffs on all industrial and most agricultural products imported from the United States under the terms of NAFTA.

No they didn’t . What the fuck are you talking about?

Cut-and-run Democrat Donald J. Trump in 2007: “I think Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the United States. The rest of the world hates us."

Birther Donald J. Trump on Obama: “The world hates our president.”

I just love it when the pseudocons' own benchmarks come back and bitch slap them in the face, especially when they hire a two-faced retard apprentice as their boss.

2018- We have a President who doesn’t give a shit. The popularity prom has ended.

Wait....

Canada has tariffs on U.S. goods.

Trump proposes no tarrifs between U.S. and Canada.

Trudeau says fuck off. We’re keeping out tariffs.

Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian imports.

Trudeau gets pissed.

Lefists say we should just live with Canada’s tariffs because, even though we have 6x the population and produce way more shit than they do, we have a minuscule trade surplus.

Is that how it happened?

No, that is just the GOP version that you are spoon fed. You leave out the part where we subsidize our industries to make them cheaper which in turn forces places like Canada to put a tariff on them to make it a level playing field for their people.

We are not an innocent party in all this.

So, we take money from some and give it to others, which makes Canada noncompetitive, through our bullshit farm aid, therefore, they respond with tariffs?

Do we do the same on imports that are subsidized?

FACTS
One of the major reasons for a tariff on Canadian steel/aluminum was the growing dependence by American users of that steel/aluminum to the demise of American
steel/aluminum industry.

The U.S. military requirements for steel and aluminum each only represent about 3 percent of U.S. production."
Wayne Ranick, spokesman for the United Steelworkers labor union, said he has no quarrel with the Defense Department’s 3 percent calculation.
However, he argued -- as the Commerce Department did -- that "to sustain that 3 percent, there must be viable U.S. aluminum and steel mills."

Ongoing viability, Ranick said, requires operating at 80 percent capacity. "Mills that have so few orders that they must operate at less than 80 percent capacity shut down sections, lay off workers and lose money," he said. "When too much money is lost, the company goes bankrupt and the mill closes."
How 'vital to our national security' are steel, aluminum?
FACTS:
As the backbone of American manufacturing, the steel industry is essential to the world's water and food supply, energy generation and national security. The U.S. military uses steel extensively, ranging from aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines to missiles, armor plate for tanks and every major military aircraft in production. There are a lot of reasons to take pride in American steel.

But today, our steel industry is being hurt by an unprecedented surge in unfairly traded imports, with record amounts of foreign-produced steel flooding into the United States. Cheap, subsidized foreign imports are taking steel jobs away.
Steel companies have closed down major facilities, or reduced production at those plants, resulting in devastating layoffs and job losses for many families who have made steel for generations. More than 12,000 steel jobs have been lost in the past year, as imports took a record 29% of the U.S. market.
At the same time, U.S. steel production has continued to decline. Domestic shipments for 2015 stood at nearly 87 million tons, a nearly 12% decrease over what American steel mills shipped in 2014.
For 150 years, the steel industry has played a central and indispensable role in building this nation. It now needs and deserves the support of Congress and the administration, including the next president of the United States, to survive and thrive for our country's future.
