Trump’s 50% Aluminum/Steel Tariff Threat: Just Another Empty Bluff

[toobfreak]

There was no tariff on electricity.

It was a SURCHARGE, Jackass. You cannot put a tariff on a non-commodity, idiot.

Trump won and you're still an idiot.

Donald Trump’s threats of imposing a 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel are nothing more than a publicity stunt. Time and again, he’s shown a pattern of making grandiose claims to grab headlines, only to backpedal when it’s time to follow through. This latest tariff threat is no different—it’s designed to rile up his base and project an image of strength, but the reality is that Trump lacks the resolve to implement such drastic measures. He knows the economic fallout would be disastrous, not just for Canada but for American industries and consumers as well.

This isn’t the first time Trump has barked louder than he’s bitten. His presidency has been littered with empty promises and hollow threats, from building a border wall to withdrawing from international agreements. The 50% tariff threat is just another example of his performative politics—big on bluster, short on substance. It’s time to see through the noise and recognize this for what it is: a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the headlines.

Does this hit the tone you’re aiming for?

We cancelled the retailiatory 25% surcharge on electricity.

You mean you FOLDED like a cheap Canadian suit. And after that new PM said he would NEVER give in!!!

The United States needs to ingest the northern areas of Canadien territories as part of the United States on the Arctic boundaries as payment to protect Canada.

You can be sure that something like that is coming.

I've never seen a pissed off Canadian, what does one look like?


Good. We'll cancel our military protection. Hope China or Russia doesn't invade and take you over! But then, why would anyone want Canada?

So if nobody would ever want to Canada, why would we have to worry about Russia or China invading?

Trump seems to want Canada desperately.

You seem to be trying to suck and blow at the same time.

Canada has no fear of the US Army invading. They’re all products of public school education in the United States. They can’t even find Canada on a map.

 

[BackAgain]

The Canuck schmuck Ford (of Ottawa) just folded.

This dick thread looks even dumber now.

I bet you say that to every guy.

Canada has no fear of the US Army invading.

Sure you don't. Because, like I said, you have little anyone wants. We could conquer your country just by sending our postmen up there! We could mail you into submission!

For some denial is not just a river in Egypt.

He delayed the Mexico tariffs twice and now the bark and no bite attention grabbing aluminum threat stands on thin ice. and you pretend Canada capitulated without saying how. Haha.

Do you happen to even have a clue as to how negotiation works?

Just this morning, a guy from the WH press corp was reporting on TV how some nights, they are kept on active call at the WH for news past midnight, then called back by 8AM. When Biden was president, they only worked three days a week and the press lid never came later than 2PM.

So, the orange bag O' shit is a narcissist that feeds off of remaining in the media spotlight, so the press needs to work around the clock. That's a flex to you? I think it's ******* pathetic.

And Trump folded in Mexico tariffs and you didn’t call it “fold “.

Trump halts doubling of tariffs on Canadian metals after Ontario suspends electricity price hikes

President Donald Trump’s threat to double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada has led the provincial government of Ontario to suspend its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the United States.

apnews.com

So Trump threatens a tariff. Canada responds with a retaliatory tariff on electricity.

This causes Trump to blink and both tariffs are erased and this means a Trump win to you idiots.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

he paused just paused the tariff hike because the Can'tadians just capitulated .. another win for the good guys ! MAGA

Russia already has a cold, barren wasteland called Siberia. They don't need Canada.

When exactly have you protected Canada???? Whose attack did you save us from?

The USA is the ONLY nation in the world which has ever attacked Canada. And you LOST.
