Finally the prince that was promised has arrived. I’ll take some pain so the victims of the poorly run democrat controlled education system can get some decent jobs. So you're saying that the Democrats are to blame for the imbalanced trade deal that Trump made in 2020? And these new Trump tariffs will fix that trade deal he made 5 years ago?

The Real timschochet 6,758 Posted February 2 2 hours ago, seafoam1 said: So to sum up your position on the matter: People from blue states who voted against Trump are going to be just fine People from red states who voted for Trump are going to suffer People from the blue states have been whining incessantly since Trump was elected People from red states are feeling great because we know that Trump is doing what he said he would do during the campaign So in conclusion, those in red states are suffering ad nauseum because they are all poor and miserable because of Trump, and those in blue states are completely happy and prosperous. Got it. But then why are you whining so much about being so happy and why am I not whining about being so miserably unhappy? All this "unhappiness" is somehow making me happy. Damn, I'm glad I'm not you. WTF are you going on about? Let me say it again: EVERYONE suffers from these tariffs. Red states, ironically, may suffer a little more because they have less spending power in general, but EVERYONE gets hurt. Nobody gets off scot free here. Nobody benefits. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irrelevant? Your whole point was that if Trudeau didn't do anything he'd be ousted really quick. Well, he's leaving pretty soon anyways. So no, it's not irrelevant. It's irrelevant to someone who got caught being ignorant, AGAIN. This is just like the time you called me out about Trump's trial, and it turned out you had the trial's confused and you had to sheepishly admit you were 100% wrong and I was 100% right. You should do that again but you won't. You'll be obstinate and pretend I didn't just catch you in your ignorance, AGAIN. The point is that Canada's economy is too small to matter and Trudeau is NOT under any pressure to do anything because he's a lame duck.
