Is There Really Grounds For Trump To Declare An Emergency From Canada?

[JimofPennsylvan]

Today, President Donald Trump made the colossal mistake of putting on across the board tariffs on exports from Canada and Mexico. This self-inflicted trade war Trump got us into will definitely raise prices for ordinary Americans which is the last thing we need! This is just another display of Donald Trump's alarming shortcomings in being President he is an extremely conscience depraved individual, he is practically a blind man when it comes to identifying the good. He couldn't find the Holy Grail if the chest that holds the grail had its lid open and it was four feet in front of him. Fortunately, America is a country where the rule of law is held paramount! I am not a legal expert but from watching the news it seems that by law the President of the United States does not have the power to institute tariffs just because he does not think it is right the trade imbalance America has with a certain country, the authority by which President Trump is instituting these tariffs is that if he can declare an emergency than he does have such power. I don't think there is grounds to legally fight the designation of an emergency with Mexico because of the amount of illegal drugs transiting the Mexico/U.S. border and the amount of people illegally emigrating through that border. However, I think the border with Canada is a whole other story, I don't think a fair Judge can conclude that the grounds lie for the President to declare an emergency on America's northern border. President Trump says there is a problem with fentanyl crossing the northern border well the facts don't bear that out last year the American government caught between forty and fifty pounds of fentanyl trying to be smuggled across the northern border that is peanuts if one goes into the Home Depot and gets a bag of topsoil such a bag weighs approximately forty pounds this northern smuggling route isn't a crisis for America it is the southern routes from the fentanyl labs in Mexico. As for illegal emigration, the problem stems from dysfunctional and impoverished countries in Central and Southa America where their citizens are fleeing their home country and entering America through the southern border. The merits of the issue are not with President Trump on declaring an emergency from Canada and a case should be brought in Federal Court to stop this designation for Canada on such grounds so that these catastrophic tariffs on exports from Canada can be permanently removed and the catastrophic harm that is unfolding stopped!

OP is imitating Trump. And what a terrible mistake our President has made.

I didn't read you post, because you can't be bothered to create paragraphs, making it difficult to read.

In answer to the question in the thread title, under the USMCA Agreement which Trump negotiated and signed, it is illegal for any in party to the Agreement, to arbitrarily slap tariffs on any of the other parties, except in the case of an actual trade dispute.

In other words, what Trump did violates the Agreement he negotiated and signed. Hope you don't live in any of these states.

Cool! All liberal states. Their Dem governors can deal with it as effectively as they deal with all their other problems.

Silly Meathead. They're also the states with the bigest populations. Canada has offered to give them economic refuge and allow these states to adopt our Constitution and become Provinces.

They're also the only states sending money to Washington to keep the Southern Red States financially above water. How much business are they going to be doing without electricity?

If they are across the board, then they really are not working like a tariff.

This self-inflicted trade war Trump got us into

Trump got us into nothing. Trump is merely putting the brakes on any further trade abuse by Canada.

will definitely raise prices for ordinary Americans which is the last thing we need!

Raise nothing. How much do you buy from Canada? Just don't buy it. Buy something else. I'm betting there isn't a thing you can buy from Canada that you can't get elsewhere. That is what Trump wants you doing, just shop elsewhere. Worse, you make the mistake of thinking this will be some long, protracted battle. Just remember, Canada is hurt far worse than us. This is meant as pressure to force Canada to normalize trade with us and it should not take very long.

So are yours but they do provide entertainment. There is no human being who is completely useless. The worst among us serve society by being perfect examples of what not to be.

MAGA Cult members fit into that description.

Yeah but Trump is the guy who made this "very bad deal" for the USA, the last time he was in office.

You're buying our oil at 25% below market value. How can you call this "trade abuse".

Why are we paying N.Y. to take our electricity?

That’s another drawback of Ontario’s reliance on nuclear power.

We're selling your our electricity, for less than Canadians pay for it:

The US will impose tariffs of 25% on energy imports from Canada and Mexico

The United States (US) have issued executive orders that would impose additional tariff of 25% on all imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China, effective on 4 February 2025. Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff. Agreements were...

Trump's idiocy is thinking that "we have no cards", just like Zelensky. We have no other markets. We NEED the US markets. We're NOTHING without YOU.

Trudeau has blocked sales of the Alberta Tar Sands to Chinese interests, but I'm willing to bet we could do a deal with the Chinese for any oil we might have for export.

We recently signed a deal with the Europeans to send our natural gas and oil to Europe to replace the Russian oil gas they no longer wish to buy. Details on transportation are still being worked out.

I'm pretty sure the Ukraine will be needing building supplies soon. Our softwood lumber is some of the best in the world.

We're still working on what we can do about our excess electrical power.

There are a few that come pretty close.

Like Joe and Hunter Biden.

So the majority of Americans are completely useless other than to serve as examples of what not to be. Got it.

We're selling your our electricity, for less than Canadians pay for it

Another reason not to be Canadian.

Wall of text. Try paragraphs, moron, paragraphs!

We have seen the deliberately arrogant illiteracy of MAGA.

Trump believes those who oppose him have no trumps (heh) to play.

The MAGA Cult is fewer than 25% of the American population. You aren't the majority, or even close to it, and every day Trump is in office, more voters turn on him. That why he lost in 2020.

 

[Dragonlady]

An author was promoting his book on negotiating. The example he used was a prison inmate asking the guard for a cigarette. The guard laughs in his face, and says "Why would I ever give YOU a cigarette?"

The prisoner responds with "Because if you don't, I'm going over to that wall and bash my head until it's bloody and you have to take me to the infirmary, and get me treated. And then you'll be spending the rest of your shift filling out an incident report, and assorted paperwork on my injuries, that's why. Or you can just give me a cigarette". The prisoner got his cigarette.

The object of the story is the EVERYONE has something they can use as a bargaining chip. Zelensky knows that. Trump lied saying the Ukraine has no cards to play. That's a blatant attempt at gaslighting.

If Zelensky has no cards to play, why was Trump prepared to sign a deal with him in the first place?

Oh please. GIVE. IT. A. BREAK. If MAGA were only 25% then Trump would have gotten steamrollered in the election! Does your bullshit know no bounds? For one thing, MAGA is the biggest political movement ever so it cannot be a "cult." Trump got 77 million votes which means that a THIRD of adults within voting age all voted for Trump. And of course, not everyone supporting him voted.

Put that up against any other group:

• Biden Supporters - 1%
• Harris Supporters - 1%
• MAGA - 33-40%

Add to that people who merely voted for Trump as the better option.
No democrat comes close. Biden and Harris have almost NO supporters--- most voting for them only really were voting AGAINST Trump, or because Biden or Harris was running as the other choice.

• NO ONE was crying for a Harris presidency before she took over for Joe.
• NO ONE is crying for Joe to run again. Biden had to run for president THREE TIMES before actually winning an election.

MAGA is it. MAGA is everything.

Libs like Dragonlady live in some weird fantasy world where they parrot their media overlord's pablum or try to make up their own facts, and expect everyone to believe them. That's because they think they're good enough, they're smart enough, and doggone it, people like them!

Except to those of us in the real world, they come across as utter fools.
