Are we on "Art of the Deal" or "This will create more jobs!" I keep losing track.
I've been saying it since the beginning when Trudeau tried to appease trump...
Mexico and Canada need to stand together and hit trump first.
America can get by with one or the other, but not without both. And both countries can get by without us.
That's why trump immediately tried to divide them. Mexico stood firm, so trump then picked on the weak one who publicly caved.
I still have no idea how Trudeau fell for it, but I've never been a fan of his.
Sounds like a prisoners’ dilemma scenario.
Or a mexican canadian eiffel tower
None of them want to blow up the economy. Trump knows that if he cooks the economy, he's done. That's what's stopping him, nothing else. He'll talk big, but when stocks fall, he'll crumble. I think it's only a matter of time before he cooks it for some other creative reason though. He'll try to blame everyone else of course.
That being said, Canada/Mexico would never throw the first stone either though. They are just as beholden to the same stock market.
In the end, this is one of the only things I actually agree with the orange moron on. Globalization will continue killing our job market and the only way to reverse some of it is to make the playing field more level via tariffs. Shipping all of the manufacturing jobs abroad could only work if you had a highly educated workforce, but they're trying to make us dumber too while replacing as much as possible with automation and AI. It has to break somewhere.
