Did Trump realize that his trade war with Canada would actually hurt GOP candidates in places that depend on doing business with Canada?

No he's too stupid to know about international trade. Same with his MAGA cultists. Thought MAGA Murica was gonna " Make Everything at home". Stupid inbred fucks.

[KostasKouvalis]

Probably not. Trump's an idiot and miscalculates the results of pretty much everything he tries and fires any advisor who disagrees with him

Canada hurt his ego. That is all he can think about.

I'm sure the maple syrup companies would give Trump a piece of their mind.

[slatyb]

Trump understands nothing.

[Dargil]

He understands you.

[slatyb]

@Dargil He may understand more than many of his supporters, but he's barely of average intelligence.

[Dargil]

You tested him, doc?

[slatyb]

@Dargil reported by multiple sources, and consistent with his academic record

[Dargil]

Any journalist can write any opinion that he or she wants I could invent a "raw story" about how you committed murder.

[Asker]

I don't think you're keeping up with sentiment in border states and farm states! This is no longer a matter of opinion, and the polls are clearly reflecting that!

[Dargil]

Why would you think that?

[Asker]

There's something called news from multiple sources, and polls from multiple sources... across the political spectrum! If you want to stay ignorant, you're free to do so! That won't change the reality of the situation! Even Mike Rodgers (endorsed by Trump) is turning on him on this issue!

[Dargil]

I guess Trump made a mistake.

[Asker]

No doubt about it! It's amazing to me that he didn't see this coming!

[loveslongnails]

Of course not, nor does he give a shit.

, maybe in the short term but when Canada finally comes around it will benefit them

[Dargil]

Carney has to go first. There is a good chance that Alberta is going to flip which is going to create a problem for them.

[Asker]

What is "short term"? American businesses that depend on Canadian businesses are suffering horribly or simply closing their doors (especially the smaller ones)! "Short term" isn't doing GOP candidates any favors in border and farm states for the midterms!

[Asker]

@Dargil Carney's approval rating in Canada is miles higher than Trump's! Trump is turning Carney into a political superhero in Canada! Carney's future is secure! He's making a laughing stock out to Trump!

America has been getting screwed over for decades. It won't get fixed overnight

[Asker]

American businesses are getting screwed because of Trump's stupid trade war with Canada right now! If Trump wouldn't have started this in the first place, American businesses wouldn't be getting screwed! Are you saying that American businesses don't know when they're getting screwed? You're not making any sense!

[exitseven]

American businesses have been getting screwed for decades. Its about time we had a President with the balls to do something about it.

[Asker]

Yeah! A president who keeps fucking them with an unnecessary trade war! You're not paying attention!

[exitseven]

China, Canada and other countries have been putting tariff on American goods for decades. They don't like it when somebody does it to them.
President Trump is encouraging manufacturing to return to the US and in the meantime the US treasury is collecting billions in tariffs.

[Asker]

Really? Then, why is Mike Rodgers (Trump endorsed) and other Republicans, speaking out against the tariffs as they try to hold on to their seats? If this is such a great thing, why aren't they running on the points you are making? 🤔🤔🤔

[exitseven]

people are really short sighted. They are forgetting about the closed border and all the illegal aliens thst hsve been deported. They don't think of how good their 401K plans are doing because or record stock market. Thr don't think about the low unemployment or that real wages have risen in comparison with inflation. All they see is gas is a dollar a gallon more expensive.
The people in Michigan do not like the trade wars but do not think about the lumber , dairy products and produce they will sell in Canada in the future.

[Asker]

Again, don't you think that GOP candidates understand the points that you are making? Are you saying that GOP candidates are stupid? Clearly, these arguments aren't working. If they were working, they would be running on these points. You are existing in an echo chamber! Trump made way too many promises that he couldn't keep! That's why Americans are so upset! They are seeing through the con!

[Pterodon]

It’s to better all of America rather than a few.

[Asker]

That argument is not working in border states or in farm states!
