    Like synistar said. It's cheaper to refine and import OPEC Oil, than American crude.

    American Oil companies buy crude overseas, refine it, and then sell it back overseas, at like 300% profit.

    Also..

    President Donald Trump suggested in an interview that aired Thursday night that Ukraine should not have fought when Russia invaded it.

    "Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal."
    Trump has taken a markedly different approach, saying in the Fox News interview that Zelenskyy is "no angel," adding that he "shouldn't have allowed this war to happen."

    The US has to import Oil. Canada has a massive oil reserve in Alberta. The US buys 40% of it's Oil from Canada. If Trump puts a 25% Tarriff on Canada. Expect the price of Gas to go up 30 cents a gallon overnight.

    Also Canada might be pissed, so they might ban Oil to the US to retaliate the Tarriffs. Now the US will have a massive crisis.
    The whole tariffs thing is utter stupidity, would create a massive mess and there's no fucking benefit to it. Its a tax on Americans not Canadians and It literally would create a mess and cost jobs and it would ultimately all come back to bite the US in the ass as well.

    I swear the way that Orange Bollocks and his Vatnik Cock Goblin groupie are going on deliberately being outright malicious purely for the sake of it, it's only a matter of time before someone who's life him and his friends ruined with their petty games decides to come gunning for their head and this time they aren't going to miss like the last guy. Fuck the 2 of them, they're destroying the America we all grew up with all these years for their own self enrichment. :/

    The only trade deal that is acceptable to Trump is one where we get whatever we want and the other party gets nothing and pays us for the privilege.

    It also imposes a burden on Canadians, as any tariff introduced by the United States is likely to be met with a retaliatory tariff from Canada. Tariffs create a lose-lose situation for both countries, which is why they are rarely applied broadly and are instead typically targeted at specific goods.

    Aye, its usually only something that should be used surgically to protect an indigenous industry from predatory undercutting by foriegn competitors with an unfair advantage but Trumpy and his circus are using them like a mallet for no obvious gains. Hell hes gonna pick a fight with the EU as well with his shenanigans but thats likely not going to go well for him either.

    He's threatening every other place, so that one of two things happen. They say it's not worth fighting and he wins. Or they stop sending their goods, and his donors make more money selling their goods.

    We get fucked either way, but we're not what he cares about. The poors just going to have to stop being poor or die.

    It never ceases to amaze me that conservatives fail to grasp that the concept of society requires collaboration and that everyone just selfishly keeping things to themselves is the fast track to decay and other issues.

    They know. Not dumb, just evil. The people in power that is. Bootstraps and all that.

    I wonder how many more times we'll get to read "we thought he was just kidding" before people start taking the insane shit he's saying and doing seriously.
