Trump Tariffs Boast

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Thursday new measures to help stabilize Canada's steel and aluminum sectors that have been hard hit by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs — with exports down and job losses up. The new federal program includes a quota on foreign steel and a proposed tax hike on U.S. imports if Canada and the U.S. can't reach a trade deal in a month's time. Carney said Canada's counter-tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum products would go up — or down, depending on the negotiations with Trump — on July 21.

The quote is important

But Werner Herzog did not say this...

This quote originated with a message posted by the "Werner Twertzog" Twitter account. This Twitter account is not owned, operated, or affiliated with the German film director. Rather, it is run by William Pannapacker, a professor of American literature at Hope College in Holland, Michigan:

I'm not totally sure how historians will explain that America ruined its own economy for no good reason by electing the "let me ruin the economy" man

I hope to live long enough to find out.

My fellow Americans, please be warned:

The De Minimis Exception, which previously meant that packages worth under $800 didn't pay tariffs, is being removed on May 2nd 2025. Packages coming into the United States after that will be charged tariffs AND a $100 processing fee per package (to be increased to $200 in June).

It is unclear to me if this only applies to new items. If it also applies to pre-used items then even eBay purchases from Canada, the UK, etc etc would be affected. Be cautious, you don't want to get hit with this bullshit fee and these bullshit tariffs.

As with all news from the US these days, this info could change on the whim of the Jackass In Chief at any time.

This guy’s insane amount of pettiness would be funny if it wasn’t so disastrous and tragic for everyone else.
