Discourse Analysis

From an assumption that these and future tariffs will positively harm the US economy, just where does Trump go when the shit hits the fan (as it pretty much already has done)? How does he row back from the chaos he is causing and has caused. He doesn't retreat easily. I suspect that he will sack key members of his cabinet, effectively blaming them for this shift show, to try to save face. If the GOP ever grew a pair I can see impeachment in the works on the grounds of real and present harm to the US.

When will we face facts? Everything Trump does seems to hurt us and help our enemies.

Nice going America. Have your egg prices gone down? Do you have a new national healthcare plan that blows the other one away? Do you consider this as more “owning the libs” and is it worth suffering more for the benefit of the rich? What a clown show.

Why would you give 5 billion away just before a25% tariff tax war to another country?? Should have kept for your own when in need!!

Just goes to show doing what Trump asks you to (toughen birder etc) doesnt stop him doing his shit anyway

Canada needs to withdraw from NORAD. We need our defenses at home.

Before everyone loses their mind over the grandstanding on either side… They should take some time to research the import/export world. If Trudeau thought he had the upper hand in this, he would have dropped the hammer. He doesn’t. The US economy will find a workaround before the 21 days are up, and Canada will have even less of a leg to stand on.

We have a lying Criminal running our country!

Trudeau is part of the swamp.\nYou froze the accounts of your own citizens, you are the global elite.\nYou will fail.

Stupid tyrannical sob . Isn't this the same pos who took bank accounts of people donating to truckers protest ? Wow he's as delusional as Newsom

Why does he feel the need to stroke Trump's ego, calling him a smart man, while condemning his actions. He articulates all the harm and difficulties Trump's actions, and these tariffs will cause, but refuses to point to the source of this stupidity directly, and call him out for it.

Trump is going to bankrupt America like he did with all his businesses ..

Captain fuckin chaos is trumps plan. we are outclassed for real. I took the time to review some of our most recent presidents. The conduct of this POS is really degrading to what we have tried to become. REALLY SAD no class in this crowd and whats worse they seem to be good with it. WAKE TO FUCK UP. PLEASE

Trudeau’s a liar. He once said confederates were causing trouble in Canada.\nTrump is trying to broker a peace deal. You have to use diplomacy with Putin.\nCanada always had tariffs on the US. Trump tariffs are for a reason.\nYou should have dropped your tariffs you always had on us.\nBy His own admission He did not increase the number of fentanyl stops.

Everything was working fine until NAFTA swooped in. people forget!

This guy is a joke. The people of Canada don’t even stand behind this guy. Worry about your borders and fentanyl problems.

Also, we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for 12 years of bad government and lack of leadership.

I think the only way we could have truly avoided this tariff war was to have gotten rid of this guy long ago. We had many chances. No one respects or trusts him. I put the blame on him & Jagmeet.

Canada has taken advantage of us for too long - Either play fair, or pay

Trump wants to hear that the Canadian government is going to double its military spending.
