If he didn't want to implement tariffs, he wouldn't implement tariffs.
Bro, that makes total sense with respect to Mexico. I am with you on tariffs on Mexico.
But what the fuck did Canada do? And to be clear, Mexico ain't evil or nothing, but would agree with you and Trump, they could do more to stop the flow of migrants and drugs north. Using tariffs for statecraft with respect to Mexico does make sense. We do not disagree.
But Mexico's president Sheinbaum is working with us. Moreover, blanket tariffs? Canada? Europe? The whole world? Nah, it doesn't make sense. That's not Michael Corleone, that's Fredo.
Just so we're clear, I wish the Democratic party had done a lot more of this shit. Biden actually did impose export controls. I wish he had done some of the things MAGA has talked about. I mean going back to Obama and Clinton, really. There's a reason why they can't win in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Missouri.
But sorry, I call it like I see it. These tariffs are terrible. If you have connections to MAGA congressmen or the WH, tell them to re-think and make them more strategic.
