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

[frigidweirdo]

He is a bllioinaire though, he doesn't need a few more million. He wants his legacy, this is his goal now. G-d saved his life and Trump must make it worthwhile. what he does in the next four years wll either have him compared with Biden, or compared with Lincoln. If compared.with Lincoln he will be admired 500 years from now and cities will be named after him.

And what is his legacy? Helping the poor? Reinventing the wheel?

The dude lies all the time, claims successes he didn't make, he wants to be ADORED and nothing more. So he does stupid stuff because he knows that's what gets him that support.

You MAGAts are as dumb as the Aussies.

Sure it is, explain the investment

Making money off US merchant and naval shipping, securing their own access to a major trading partner.

Control is majority shareholding. Are you now going to assert China has that?

Don't know him. Did he warn about people who pointed out Chump likes Vlad and Kim?

The word cheat probably isn't the right application here. What China does when they trade with us is make a direct infusion contact from one economy to the other. The economy that supplies us being China has a completely different standard of living for its workers.... Has no oversight by anything like the FDA the EPA or OSHA to add cost to the product. A direct pipeline of trade cheats the American worker who has to work underneath all the federal regulations in order to make a living. If China wants to sell here let them contribute to the EPA, let them contribute to OSHA, let them contribute to the FDA, let them subject their corporate books to examination by the SEC like all of the American companies have to do... Unfortunately I think you'll find that all you'll get from them on that count is the middle finger.

We do business with China specifically because of all those things you stated, it's feature, not a bug. If they had a high standard of living, robust oversight over everything they make, etc. we would turn our sights to places like Vietnam to make our phones, buy our hot sauces and get our tshirts made, etc. The US takes advantage of countries like this so Americans can get things cheaper and companies can make more profit. This is simply how free trade works all over the globe. Don't like it? Don't buy from china, don't make anything in china, simple.

Of course we have a choice as to where we spend our money. Or at least we have the illusion of a choice. Nevertheless creating a direct pipeline between the two economies bleeds wealth predictably in One direction. Well it appears that we are enjoying the fruits of a cheaper labor market what we are in reality doing is purchasing the goods with our livelihoods and not with our money.

Of course I'm talking about a macro effect that is probably totally unnoticeable on an individual basis. Ergo I'm still going to buy that cheap blender from Walmart rather than pay three times as much for an American made model (if they even exist). I may never get to see the consequences of what I'm doing at least not on a personal basis.

Whilst squealing about the canal that lets you access those goods.

Oh well.

Squealing? I'm all for the best deal we can get.
If the canal wasn't there we would simply open up more ports on the West Coast. There's plenty of them. Everyone's afraid what would happen if the canal was re-excavated so it didn't need locks. Maybe it's time to try that.

It not the job of Canadians to screen people or keep illegals from entering the USA. That’s YOUR job.

Republicans like cheap labour, so they refuse to prosecute the employers. Canada nails everyone employing illegals with a $10,000 fine per worker.

Canada doesn’t have an illegal immigration problem. We have about 30,000 people who overstayed their Visas but Canadians won’t work under the table, and no one can enter Canada without a visa except Americans.

Few Canadians have an interest in living in the USA. Canadians make and keep more of our money. Universal government funded health care, top level free public school education. Government funded university education. Low crime. Strict gun control. Longer life, better income. Canadian seniors have a guaranteed income of $18,888 each.

Perhaps you should screen better coming into your country then??

Then say its our fault when they cross here from Canada.

Is your Google broke?

Not true.

I posted the link stupid.

Panama: Trump hotel standoff ends as president surrenders physical control | Panama | The Guardian

Hotel’s owners say ‘This was purely a commercial dispute that just spun out of control’ as police bring 12-day standoff with owners to an end

amp.theguardian.com

Years of lawfare by the Trump Corporation. Appealed every decision and lost and still he refused to go. They had to get the sherif to lock him out.

Residents drank champagne and celebrated when he was gone.

The world is laughing at you and your clown President.

Do you have any evidence that “millions are streaming into the USA from Canada” or just Trumps saying it’s true? My search shows its 19,000 last year.

People STAY in Canada when they get here. When people come to Canada, they’re not trying to get into the USA.

A lot of the people arriving at the US/Mexican border are trying to get to Canada.

Stop believing every stupid lie coming out of Trumps mouth. Makes you look so stupid to fall for his shit.

And then we see the inflation. The millions and millions of illegals. That is reality.

So you prove my point, hilarious

 

[Zincwarrior]

Why would we attack Greenland? What in the world!?!

Because they aren't going to be bought.

They aren’t? You handling the finances? Haha you know how stupid you sound?
