No. Americans, especially the ones that voted for Trump, are under the believe that they are at war against everyone. They believe America can do it better and be self-sufficient.Though I hate seeing my American friends suffer, I really do hope this hits hard and that it won't take long for this stupidity to end.
Don't look for sense where there isn't any.What, exactly, do we want them to say Uncle over? I must have missed a memo somewhere... I don't see any sense in this.
Ah gawd! Been there done that - BOTH WAYS!Trump should be impeached for the sheer stupidity of inciting bad relations.
More drunk snowmobilers cross the border in a week than a year full of illegal immigrants.
I dunno, are you?I'm lying about egg prices?
Theres still tons going in from Canada, plus lots of migrants too, and Trump has vowed to put a stop to it.Barely any, actually; more fetanyl goes from the US to Canada than vice versa.
Utter bullcrap as confirmed by American agencies.I dunno, are you?

No, its the truth. Trudeau and China is orchestrating this huge shipments of drugs and migrants. They want to destroy America, but Trump wont let them/Utter bullcrap as confirmed by American agencies.
Do you not even bother to research your own governments published stats? Trump is simply lying - for the twelve thousandth confirmed time.
No, thats not true. Huge numbers of illegals and drugs are pouring through, and the mounties just stand there like idiots and even guide them in.No there isn't.
Canada has a better case than Trump with regards to the Border, and even if he did making Americans pay more for Canadian good isn't a sensible response.
This is a special breed of stupid. Crashing the economy doesn't address the wealth gap. How does this help the poor and middle class?Well, look at the bright side. With NASDAQ futures set to open tomorrow morning down 500 points, Trump is doing his part to remedy the wealth gap.

Just be patient, traders. Increase those stop-loss circuit breakers.![]()
Nah, they didn't. They got rage duped by a television channel and a bunch of internet nonsense.This all seems like an economic suicide. Voters voted for Mr. Trump to improve upon Mr. Biden's economy, not make it worse.
You have to remember that most Americans don't have an adversarial view of Canada. Many of us detest nazis / regressives and tried to prevent them from taking over.What in Canada's history makes you say that.
You've lost every war with us, shooting type or fiscal.
But please, save the ****ing whining when we countervail.
I hate to say this, but Trump will pummel Mexico and Canada until they get some real leaders. Trudeau needs to go! He's an authoritarian menace. Canadians are freedom-loving people just like us.Agree completely but there's a few people around here I'll enjoy seeing paying a buck a gallon more to fill the tank of their car that cost 25% more.
Canadians are not like you at all.Canadians are freedom-loving people just like us.

MAGA nonsense. ^It doesn’t. And if the NASDAQ going down doesn’t help the poor and middle class, how does it going up, thus increasing the wealth gap, hurt them? That was the point.
The reason there is a record wealth gap is wealthy people own assets like stocks and real estate that have been inflated and reflated to absurd levels since they bottomed in the wake the GFC, while poor and middle-class people depend on wages, pensions, disability, or welfare benefits to support them. A simple truth is depending on wages or government benefits for your well-being is a great way to get poor slowly, because historically they have not kept up with the rising cost of living.
By almost any measure, assets are overpriced, and simple statistical concepts like mean reversion and standard deviation suggest they’re vulnerable to a price reset—down. I mean, think about it. Who can afford a house priced at 8, 9, or 10-times income? Some could when they could get a 30-year mortgage at 3%. Not too many can at 7%. That’s why sales are at 30-year lows, not an easy feat when one realizes there are more people in the country than there were in 1995.
MAGA nonsense. ^
Your ideas are an incoherent rambling mess. Its not a valid argument.The name of this website is “Debate Politics.” That’s not an argument. Then again, I’m not surprised. The only arrow in the leftist quiver is ad hominem.

Most significant losses will be realized by middle class Americans who hold investments as part of their retirement portfolios but who lack the information, resources and agility to move their assets in real time to avoid these sorts of losses. The money lost is benefiting the very wealthy. Don't kid yourself.With NASDAQ futures set to open tomorrow morning down 500 points, Trump is doing his part to remedy the wealth gap.
I herad a stat, and while I have not confirmed it, it said that 43lbs of Fentanyl was sized coming from Canada last year. There's a guy in a car crossing the border from Mexico into the US, right now, with that much in his pants. Not to mention the containers offloading on the port of LA, where most of the drugs come from, with tons more. But let's shore up that northern boarder first.Flow from Canada counts for less than 1% of the illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

Sure, but let's look at total net worth of the bottom 50%:The top 10% of American households control north of 90% of the remainder.
No, it won't, it will create a situation where people in the bottom 1/2 of the economy lose value in whatever assets they have, will be more likely to sell off what little opportunities for real wealth (stocks, bonds, index funds ect) they have and more likely to be forced into debt.If prices for these assets decline, the gap will narrow.
Unlikely, as long as he can make a higher expected rate of return on his investments than any interest rate he'd pay, which would be unusually low, sometimes below what a bank is paying he would just borrow. Not to mention that even if the rate were a little higher (historically this doesn't happen much) than his expected rate of return, by not selling his shares and borrowing instead he avoids income tax on the money he uses to buy his yacht. Then, as payments come due he can pay for the yacht with earned income, or strategically sell assets at a time best for himself (like a year he takes losses) to limit his tax liability.If he decides he wants a new $500 million yacht or needs to sell for estate planning purposes, he’ll sell shares.
