I for one would be happy to live in Canada and pay taxes to them instead of the US. Open your doors, Canada, and you will get people investing in your economy. Mass exodus.

Big mistake, the only thing saved the Canadian economy after the tariffs, is the massive Trudeau’s immigration, immigrants are consumers as well. If Canada stops immigration then it will be no doubt an American state before the next 30 years end.

As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.
Commenter identifies as Canadian and argues tariffs harm economies; supports Trudeau's economic position against Trump.

It's going to be a lot easier for other countries to boycott American good than for us to avoid buying tariffed imports because nothing is made here. We are SO fucked.

I work at an auto assembly plant in Michigan. There should be no tariffs on imported auto parts for a few years in order for the automakers to have time to set up shop in the USA. Tariffs on food and drink shouldn't exist.

Don't worry Tariffs are paid for by Canada I really do not know if he is so stupid he believes that or he knows and does not care either way it is so dumb and hurtful to think otherwise. The last time tariffs like this were in place was the late 1800's and early 1900's. If anyone know this time it was the time of the oligarchs like Rockefellers Carnegies that road the backs of the everyday Americans making them the richest people in the world. Notice a theme here, I do!!
Critiques tariff policy with economic reasoning, drawing historical parallels to oligarchic periods and discussing economic harm.

As an IT professional , I can say that all American programmers are thrown away from the market because of Indians. Some of them are good , some are really bad, but what I noticed... they have a common fearure...they lie constantly about their education and experience. When you are interviewing an Indian IT person , they know everything, according to their answers... but it is a lie.
Claims professional experience to argue Indian IT workers displace Americans and engage in credential fraud, mixing anecdotal narrative with economic impact claims.

There's no labor shortage. Companies don't want to pay white people what they are worth. Instead they import desperate third worlders willing to work for peanuts.

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.
Argues that tariffs are necessary economic policy to address domestic suffering, job outsourcing, and national self-sufficiency rather than aggressive trade war.

Money doesn't grow on trees. Can't borrow money and then forever borrow more money to pay for the interest on that money. Have to pay for that support that has already been given to Ukraine sometime and Tariffs are one way of doing that by getting that money from Americans in the USA.
