Trump's Speech To Congress: Tariffs are NOT about Border. "It's About Making America Rich" (lemmy.ca)

I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?

Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “... Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.

By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.

Alright. I guess they'll keep them for a while then. Let's see if they manage to pop some asset market, stock, housing, etc.

Also @useyourvoice thanks for your first post!

Yay! Thank you. I'm motivated to get more people using this platform as well.

It's as close as Buy Canadian Reddit as it gets!

Facebook in Canada is now getting hammered with Russian/MAGAt fake news hard. And it's only going to get worse. Canadians NEED to get over here. We don't need Facebook OR reddit.
