The thing is, Reagan really was against tariffs.

$400b of new revenue is a very good thing. Less borrowing. Sooner or later that $38T debt will hurt the US dollar.

We can make it up quicker by trade than by paying ourselves.

Keep telling the people that. The people are still feeling the burn of the 19 percent prices increase under Biden-Harris. So, do some math. Wages growing 5.1 percent after prices skyrocketed 19 percent to wages at 3.3 percent and the year is not over against prices rising 3 percent?

Had consumers not felt the pain of Biden-Harris economy, Harris would be President. But, the voters didn’t have faith in her economic plan to mandate universal price ceiling and tax unrealized capital gains.

The relief Trump promised is not happening. The day to day prices are not based on prices when inflation was 19%, it is what prices are today. The cost of living is more YTD 2025 as compared 2024. Quit making excuses for your cult leader.

It’s not an excuse. It is a fact you can throw all of the numbers you want at voters. Unless they are feeling it -positive or negative- they aren’t going to move.

Talk about excuses, your side still won’t accept that the 4 year economy under Biden-Harris did not sit well with voters. All of the excuses and blaming Trump first term and prioritization of DEI did not work with the voters.

Its great that trump can take a poke from a minor politician with such mature good grace.
Its a clear sign that hes lost control of the economy

No one controls a $30 trillion economy, duh.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

No one controls a $30 trillion economy, duh.

Accprding to you remedials Biden did. Duh!!

 

[kyzr]

According to you remedials Biden did. Duh!!

Biden couldn't control his bowel. Stop lying.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Biden couldn't control his bowel. Stop lying.

Neither can donny.

 

[kyzr]

Neither can donny.

Maybe you should focus on your fucked up king and his old whore instead of the USA, since you obviously know nothing?

 

[Correll]

Can you say one negative thing about Trump

Sure. Plenty. His failed marriages was a personal moral failure of Trump's.

 

[Lesh]

Accprding to you remedials Biden did. Duh!!

So Biden is at fault but Trump isn’t

Trump terminates all U.S. trade negotiations with Canada over Reagan tariffs TV ad​

President Donald Trump said Thursday night that he was terminating all trade negotiations with Canada because the Ontario provincial government aired an ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.

Trump’s announcement accused Canada of trying to influence a pending U.S. Supreme Court case that could doom many of his tariffs, including ones on Canada.

His statement came after The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said that the ad misrepresents a presidential radio address Reagan delivered in April 1987, and that his remarks were edited without permission.

The foundation did not say what was misleading.

Ontario enlists Ronald Reagan against Trump’s tariffs​

TORONTO — Ontario is using Ronald Reagan to warn that Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost Americans their jobs.

“We’re going to repeat that message to every Republican district there is right across the entire country,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said this week, teasing the new ad campaign at a Toronto business luncheon.

The one-minute ad excerpts a 1987 radio address by Reagan to justify imposing 100 percent tariffs on Japanese electronics over a trade dispute over semiconductors.

Reagan’s address warned of the long-term economic perils of tariffs on foreign imports sold to Americans as a protectionist policy and explained they were imposed to sort a particular problem — not to begin a trade war.

“But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American, worker and consumer,” Reagan narrates in the ad. “High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.”

China’s embassy in Washington notably used the same Reagan clip to troll Trump’s global tariffs when the China-U.S. trade war heated up in the spring.

Don has his extra large shorts in a bunch for being called out (posthumously) by Ron, the patron saint of conservatives. The crux of Reagan's remarks being consumers ultimately bear most of the cost of tariffs. Something the tariff man doesn't like being reminded of.

Of course, consumers aren't the only ones who get hurt. Just ask the soy bean farmers.

Meh. He was, in a general sense, opposed to tariffs.

But be honest. He also made use of them.

So, STFU.

I agree. The rich have been getting richer and the poor are getting poorer for decades, under all Presidents.

I can recall my parents saying it back in the mid 60's.....

Trump's policies will accelerate the difference.

And you may well be right Elmer, the 'house' never looses.......~S~

Authoritarianism.isn't always overt, you couldn't possibly know in some nations especially if only visiting.

At the same time I'm interested in politics. I come on here. And not much tells me that Canada is any worse than most first world countries.

My story should be well known as a cautionary tale as to these actions you allude to.

In many ways, perpetual violations of citizens rights and the meddling of that citizens pursuits extending to that of their pursuit of education, vocation/career, personal and family relationships, the financial wills of family members and even divorce proceedings is as vile and despicable as any in the history of the Western world.

It may sound like hyperbole but it really isn't. I was never supposed to be privy of these criminal actions against me by those in positions of authority. Certainly our allied nations and politicians domestically and otherwise weren't supposed to know.

I know what they are doing in corporations here, I know what they are doing to covertly "control" citizens pursuits and outcomes in life. Their efforts to destroy me only served to confirmed what I have already exposed and ironically they did immense harm.

As such, forgive me if I must disagree in the strongest terms your suggestion. Sure, it isn't a bullet to the head but I lost my hearing and my dignity as a kid, all while defending the true culprits, that of the covert variety working for a creepy, unaccountable outfit.

I will continue to fight until the end even in the face of these abuses. I can only hope my prayers will be answered and that I am protected, eventually granted true justice.

One of my all time favourite movie quotes which I believe is as deep and profoundly relevant to makes decisions across all generation as any on the screen. From the Judgement of Nuremberg:

Ernst Janning:
Judge Haywood... the reason I asked you to come. Those people, those millions of people... I never knew it would come to that. YOU must believe it, YOU MUST believe it.

Judge Dan Haywood:
Herr Janning, it came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent.

Problem is, in any country, people do well and people do badly. Just because you did badly in Canada, doesn't mean Canada is any worse than anywhere else.

Well, this would suggest that what happened to me can and does happen in America, France, England, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Japan etc.

I haven't been to every country on that list but I understand nations and their beliefs. Outside of some of the extreme pushes in some nations currently, I just don't see there being any expectation that what I experienced would happen in any place outside of perhaps a few pockets of sinister, unaccountable criminal police jurisdictions,.

Well, people get screwed over in all of those countries. Laws go against them. Might happen in a different way, but it happens.
