Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.

Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

    I’d love to watch the US handle skyrocketing prices because they got rid of all the immigrants, then they got rid of Canadian lumber and oil, causing those prices to skyrocket as well.

    Add to that the costs of the yet again border wall, costs of the immigration death camps vacation parks with all the guards, legal shit and transportation, the tax cuts for the wealthy and the extra taxes for people who already can’t make it to the end of the month.

    So far, el cheeto is doing GREAT!

      Something occurred to me while watching some news yesterday. It won’t take ICE raids removing people from farms for the effect to materialize. The fear from raids will cause people to stop showing up for work at the farms before that. That’s why I think we’ll see the effects on food prices quicker.

        Absolutely, the results are already visible, and prices in the US keep rising.

        People voted trump to make the inflation go down and he just started a trade war with Canada and Mexico and is about to start one with Europe

        Seriously, by the time he’s gone, the US will be in shambles. Soft power will have evaporated, any good deals they had world wide will be gone, the US will likely never recover
