It’s nothing personal against Canada, Trump wants US owned companies back that’s all.

Explains Trump's actions through economic reasoning (reclaiming US-owned companies) rather than personal animus.

All yall crying about tariffs. Stop acting like it’ll last for the 4 years. This is to prove a point and make them foolish countries reactive and take action towards the problems they have been neglecting. Drugs coming into America, illegal migrants into America, and no show of force towards that. And more. They need to step it up
Discusses tariffs and economic strategy while framing border/drug issues as justification for enforcement measures.

Canada should lower income taxes now since boat loads of money will be flowing into government coffers.

We have a 600 billion deficit to these countries in trade, and you said liberals are okay with this. You all have some serious issues.

Liberal Bots hitting this thread hard. Bottom line: Canada uses mass immigration to fuel Canada's largest combined sector of the economy - namely real estate and construction. Liberals have destroyed Canada. If you're a Liberal supporter/voter - shame on you.
Argues immigration policy is economically motivated (real estate/construction sector) while making partisan identity claims.

Trump has embarrassed us all. Imagine if Biden did this? My 401K dropped quite a bit today since last night. Maga fans: check yours.

What can the average American do?? We have no say. We have no wins. Our jobs are being ripped out from under us. While they Ski and Golf. Not to mention the crypto crap.. I’m tired and fed up with this ? swinging when neither of them have a working member amongst them.. over 70? His wife definitely has a ? in her pocket!???
Focuses on job loss and economic hardship while expressing frustration with leadership, mixing economic grievance with broader discontent.
@oasisciencemyasia Mar 4, 2025
Ya”ll should’ve actually do something with the surplus of money you get every year from American citizens. While we over here can’t truly afford anything, every other country is getting richer, well it stops now.

Thanks Liberals for pushing us so far down the hole it's going to take a miracle to get us back on top. Remember the size of family our great grandparents, grandparents had ~ like 7 to 10 kids, I'm 60 and had 4 siblings. The size of families just keeps getting smaller ~ too expensive for everything for adults and even more so for the cost of a child. 95% of us don't have that silver spoon in our mouths at birth......
Blames government policy for economic hardship and rising costs of living that prevent family formation.

Westerners, aren't having children, because we can't afford to. The more immigrants that enter, makes it even more unaffordable for westerners it is to have. On top of that, the constant demonization of (predominantly) white people to hate the past, feminism, and queer theory being pushed, definitely doesn't help. I can't even go to a foodbank for a few basics, without a 3 hour wait from all the recent immigrants that don't speak English, and push their way thru lines
Links immigration to housing affordability and economic hardship for 'westerners,' combining economic grievance with demographic anxiety and identity concerns.

Thanks for this, you are saying what I feel I'm not racist, I'm just fed up, these people, mostly Indian, come here and take all the jobs, barely speak English, are rude and don't care, I'm tired of going to a fast food chain and my order is screwed up so bad, no please or thanks they look at me like I'm an asshole cause I'm white they don't know me, they assume I'm a white male, I'm automatically an asshole,
Primarily focuses on job competition and economic grievances (taking jobs, wages), though also includes identity-based complaints and cultural anxiety.

Yall so fkn dumb af yall dont even know the benefits behind the tariffs for us Americans. Imagine someone helping your economy and not knowing about it while you criticizing the person helping you.

In nothing its just for the Country thats all

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.
Predicts economic consequences (tariffs, inflation, market collapse) and expresses alarm about trade war impacts.
