So trump won’t tariff India?
Probably his brain is rotted and the last thing he remembers is that last thing someone told him.
Why would he? India is no really a challenge.
Yet.
All it would take is for him to have a bad interaction with someone vaguely Indian and he’ll throw down a tariff.
Yep. Remind him that Kamala Harris has half Indian ancestry and he'll be ready to colonize it right after Panama, Greenland, and Canada.
He's not going to colonize these countries. You have to be dumb to believe he's serious when he says that.
Dude, it might be time to start taking the fascist in office backed by the richest Nazi in the world a bit more seriously. You'd either hafta be dumb or sickeningly out of touch to think you can just sit back and assume he's joking.
I never said he's joking. He's negotiating. Some type of psychological warfare. He's pressuring countries into doing what he wants out if fear what he's going to say next. And in addition to that, he's flooding the media with so much bs that they can't keep up with his actual agenda.
Your hate makes you not think clearly. You need to start thinking in strategies and tactics. In power and economics.
He isn't as smart as you seem to think he is.
You don't have to be particularly smart to be manipulative. In fact, it's probably because he's not very smart that he finds these solutions to his goals.
Right that's why he acts purely out of spite and emotion, dismantling anything Biden did, putting his name on it, then claiming its better. He's not smart or manipulative, he's just a fool who can't take no for an answer.
Here is a bit of logic for you. Either you believe what he says, or you don’t. If you do, then you should realize the kind of dangerous place he’s pushing US towards. If you don’t, then there is no reason he should be a president and you should not be depending him. So which is it?
That's a false dichotomy. 10% of what Trump says is true but 90% of what he says is insane, so 9% of what Trump says should legitimately concern everyone. Because we don't know which 10% is true, we have to be concerned about everything he says.
And Canada is?
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.
No one believed people were dumb enough to vote for tRump once, much less a second time after his insurrectionist mob tried to stage thr violent overthrow of our system of government.
And yet... Here we are.
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.
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.
Hahahahahahhahahahahaha

You're applying logic when logic doesn't apply. Why would he tarriff Canada?
Because Canada tariffs us.
What tariffs are Canada imposing on the U.S. that is not retaliatory?
Yeah, because tariffs are only reserved to large competitors on the world stage like, check notes, Canada?
Tariffs are reserved for those who tariff US goods.
It really helps if you pay enough attention to know what’s going on.
Read project 2025, it views India as the most aggregious.
