Trump calls Canadians 'nasty people' during Las Vegas speech U.S. President Donald Trump called Canada and its leadership "nasty" multiple times during a speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. The comments come ahead of an Aug. 19 deadline, at which point the U.S. plans to put 50 per cent tariffs on about five per cent of Canadian exports to the country. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-canada-nasty-las-vegas-9.7298087?cmp=rss

Trump’s Canada Tariffs Decimate Border Crossings, Business in Upper Michigan --- Under an intensifying trade war, parts of northern Michigan are feeling the financial pain. But with a president intent on conflict and a congressman silent on the issue, these Michiganders see no sign of relief. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-canada-tariffs-michigan-sault-ste-marie?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Michigan #Canada #Trump #Tariffs #Trade #Business #Economy

Trump's new tariff threat shows Canada's retaliation 'being noticed': Ontario's D.C. rep | CBC News https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/us-tariffs-cars-alcohol-ban-bourbon-wine-9.7291499 #trumpistan #tradewar #elbowsup #tariffs #espionage #surveillance #fascism #authoritarianism I fully intend to not buy anything from trumpistan for the rest of my life. Trumpistan is not an ally. There are countless good folks living down there, but I really wouldn't protest a giant border wall and giant firewall to keep trumpistani propaganda and election meddling and espionage out of Canada. Don't use trumpistani software or services. It is NOT SAFE for Canadians, or anyone in any other country, to use their software or services. The NSA came right out and admitted their "collect everything" policy. And with the aid of their ai they can automate intelligence processing and an ai agent might classify you as a threat to trumpistani national security for sharing a meme. https://wire.com/en/blog/big-tech-data-sovereignty-failure

@trevortombe@mastodon.social Doug Ford "standing alone protecting Canada." That's a good one. The hero complex in action! #cdnpoli #tariffs

Gov. Tony Evers: "Due to Pres. Trump and Republicans, including Wisconsin's Republican members of Congress, Wisconsin families are paying $2,000 to $3,000 MORE on gas, groceries, healthcare, utilities—you name it—since the start of Pres. Trump's second term." The #IranWar and Trump's #tariffs are two reasons for this inflation. #politics #economy #affordability

Ron Filipkowski: "I’m trying to get the Republican messaging for the midterms straight. Is it: 'The #economy sucks but it’s Biden’s fault, and Trump’s #tariffs and #war have nothing to do with any of it.' OR 'The economy is great, we’re the hottest country in the world, and Trump deserves all the credit'." copy: @renewedresistance@channel.org #politics

"New paper:🚨Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs significantly reduced foreign tourism to the US - especially from "geopolitical allies" like Canada - and thus cost the US economy🚨~$1 billion per month." -S Lincicome MSM doesn't usually accurately report on the news that adversely affects the #economy, if it adversely affects #Trump & #Republicans. #Tourism #Trade #Tariffs #TrumpRegime #ETTD #USPol https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=7019619

US corporate and the #MAGA Republicans dumped billions into #AI and #LMM hype, #datacenter buildings, shameless self dealing and #securitiesfraud while the Trump administration started #oil wars and placed #tariffs tax on everything imported. The #stigma on US markets is well deserved and the reason US citizens should never elect or trust US Republicans for anything but the local dog catcher. The data is in. The results are clear and the corporate media overlords failed. #USpol #NoKings
