Why is Trump publicly calling out Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Panama Canal? Didnt he campaign on confronting China? Come on Trump

[Mac-7]

Mexico and Canada are primary enablers of Red Chinese schemes to get around the tariffs, and have been for years.

This is a fact

 

[MarcATL]

More international saber rattling from the "didn't start any new wars" contingent of Americans.

Getting exposed for the fakes, frauds and scammers they are even before they get officially started.

Nice!

Trump is a bully with a victims complex
Everyone in his eyes is taking advantage of us.

It is easier to bully our allies than Russia or China

The way I see it, we have buffers from invasion of potential enemies. Of course, we have a political class who sold us out from illegal immigrations that can have enemies purposely designed for it.

He’s been attacking China, him calling out Panama is attacking China

Do you actually pay attention to anything he actually says? Clearly not

You didnt read my response. All of.these.are secondary,.residual attacks.

Trump was voted in by Americans and even supported by many fiscally minded citizens around the globe because he represented more fiscal restraint/cost cutting a la DOGE, he was going to prevent Americas debt from going off of the cliff, return a global presence of peace through strength to defend key allies such as Taiwan and Japan, defend your border (for which Canada also pays a price as we have fentanyl coming into our country from these same cartels I'm sure) and confronting China so that America remains the Super Power of the world, millions of lives potentially saved.

Now, Mexico I can understand being called out, even the Canal and Greenland as these are key tenets of U.S security. Canada though is receiving more than our fair share of ink due to Trump. Media cares this much about Canada all of a sudden but not 100s of thousands being poisoned by your southern border? Come on maaaan.

If his actions before he takes office is any indication, he has said very little about China and tariffs, but raises the issue with Canada and Mexico and others? Didn't he suggest a 60% tariff on China? They are sending over the precursors to the poisons that have killed countless people in Canada too, that act is responsible for something like 100,000 U.S deaths a year!

Let's hope this isn't a pattern he will maintain after he takes office. Please DJT, stick to your promises. China needs to be confronted about their human right abuses and cheating on trade. All nations can do better but China is by the greatest threat to America and the biggest trade violator.

We'd all like to see peace in the world and we'd all love to see China become a true capitalist nations that supports human rights. This should be where his focus lies, no? To call them out and get them to change and if they do not, than he uses tariffs as a means to equalize the trade abuses.

DJT keep your promises. Canada isn't perfect and we could use some demands to adhere to human rights but we are your ally, for all of our warts.

Trump is oissed off that his Canada/Mexico/USA trade agreement completely backfired.

Trump said Canada and Mexico were “taking advantage” of the USA with trade surpluses of $11 billion for Canada and he was going to change that.

Canada’s trade surplus has gone from $11 billion to over $90 billion. The Mexican trade surplus has also gone up but not by as much. Trump’s trade deal did the opposite of what he promised.

Trump can’t tell people his trade deal was a bad deal for the USA. He ’s telling Americans you’re “subsidizing” Canada. That’s a lie.

We sold you our goods and you paid for them. That’s not “subsidizing” anyone. That the free market capitalism you claim to want. When I ship an outfit to the USA, the money I get isn’t a “subsidy”, it’s a “sale of goods”.

Trump is trying to fix his **** ups from last time.

Well it’s backfiring. Trudeau’s government which has to hold an election by October, is on the verge of falling. His only hope is to recess Parliament (“prorogue”), until March to give him time to rebuild.

Conservative premiers hold 7 of the 10 provinces and suddenly, all of Canada’s political parties are coalescing around Trudeau to fight Trump.

Well done, Donnie!

You Progs are of enforcing tyranny laws while promoting Democracy. The laws still exist with more right leaning power people. You are anti-Christian. You are anti-Jewish. And there are Christians and Jews who sell out their own for power and money.

You don’t know the first thing about me. I am a church elder and retire Sunday school teacher. Your projecting your own self loathing onto others.

Hate destroys the hater. There are people I have a low opinion of, but hate is something that Republicans hold dear, and they think others are just like them. No we’re not.

I oppose liars, cheats and thieves and Donald Trump is all three of these things.

YOU are selling out YOUR power to an authoritarian. Progressives aren’t doing that.

Trump promised you wealth the last time you elected him. You got debt, disease and death.

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Shame on the American people for electing this lying loser, yet again.

You truly deserve everything that’s about to happen to you.

Panama is related to the China issue

Then why doesn't Trump say so? Why hound the Canal on their charging fees being too high on the Usa, instead of calling out specifically how the canal is working with CHINA and how that hurts us?

Civility and harmony threaten him, because he doesn't understand them.

Rage and chaos come much more naturally to him, and them.

Trumps idea of diplomacy is we get everything, you get nothing

The idea that someone else gets something out of a deal enrages him

In the case of the trade agreements he’s about to tear up, again, he can’t admit he made bad deals for the USA. Those are his administration’s agreements. Your global balance of trade suffered under Trump in every jurisdiction.

Last time he claimed everyone was “ripping you off” and he would change that. So now he’s making other excuses for the tariffs. Now he claims you’re “subsidizing” Canada.

When you buy goods or services from someone, the payment is NOT a subsidy. It’s called the free market.

I know many people who have had becoming poorer happen to them with Joe. Covid was purposely released by the Chinese and is an act of war. Trump ran as not a globalist. So, he must be destroyed. Until Covid, things improved. I do not disdain Progs in total ways. They must even things out with their time left.

The complaint about Panama is directly related to China.

He’s not attacking Greenland

And he’s always complained about our borders and the lack of cooperation between Canada and Mexico

Explain the connection between Panama and China, please.

The term “bilateral” is utterly foreign to him. “Winning” is everything.

There are other realities being ignored in this push to slap tariffs on the world.

Manufacturing declined markedly in Trumps last administration because business owners need strong trade deals and no surprises when building factories and expanding production.

They need firm ideas as to the prices for materials and supplies, as well as what the market will be for their products. Without trade deals with supplier nations or potential markets, they cannot anticipate either.

This is why so few new factories were built in his first administration.

Our Northern border is just as bad as our Southern border. Canada is letting illegals thru in record numbers.

The damage that has done never makes 'press'.... ~S~

The world does not end withing our borders. And Progs do not understand it. What happens to us means nothing at this point.

Nothing in this post is even remotely true.

Covid was not released on purpose. China suffered more than any other nation on earth because of this disease.

Only an idiot would release such a disease in their own country. Putin would do it but Xi isn’t that stupid.

Trump is a card carrying globalist with business ventures around the world.

His policies are entrenching the global oligarchy, and destroying your nation.

Canada is no friend either.

Canada and Mexico have both been giving us the shaft. Mexico is just the one that gets all of the press.

Our Northern border is just as bad as our Southern border. Canada is letting illegals thru in record numbers.

Really? Then tell us and show us how many....and where you got that info from, please.
