Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China. Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).
What? No.
Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!
Enlighten us. What is the reason?
Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)
You just answered it yourself. It failed miserably and it will obviously fail again. Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada. Consequently, it can't be the reason for the tarriffs.
Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or...
When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you're all standing around like "nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!" Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.
Trump has a game going here where he alienates and punishes our allies, hands control of foreign aid to China, snuggles up to Russia, invites Hungary over for dinner, stops backing Europe militarily, and fits all the War Department warning signs for what to watch for in a dictator in America. That's the part we know.
Whatever he's up to, it's not the status quo. The pressure from the tariffs can just be part of this larger game. As can the annexation threat. But that's the part we don't know.
Nobody could seriously believe a US President would allow an unelected billionaire into the halls of power and society to tear it down from the inside, but here were are.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that Trump isn't an over confident idiot with terrible ideas. Unfortunately for your narrative, he's straight-up said that he wants to annex these places. So, Trump seriously believes that the USA can colonize Canada.
trump is deeply unserious.
