lol “how dare they vocalize against their oppressors, they need to be taught a lesson”

Like libs would have even considered Arab-American policies half as much if it weren’t for this leveraged discourse

I believe the American side has severely underestimated the rupture they’ve caused with Canada. Canada has done everything the US has wanted for decades and gets this as a reward. There’s no repairing this, there’s a full blown consumer boycott of American goods going on right now.

That’s exactly the plan. Tariffs pay for his income tax plan, but they’re inflationary. He’s afraid the fed will raise interest rates as a result, so he’s going to cause mass unemployment by firing most of the federal government.

Hope he responds with building a wall on his southern border to keep Americans out as their country crumbles from the top down

Canada should put tarrifs on the US exporting cringe edgelord billionaires.

He's going to 1) raise tarrifs, which will drive inflation (along with other inflationary moves like cutting taxes for the rich) but 2) massively cut federal jobs, which will raise unemployment. The fed has a dual mandate of maximum employment as well as price stability, so he's hoping they will prioritize employment and cut interest rates.

Wired declined to publish the names of two of the people because of their age. One graduated from high school last summer.

"We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. [...] We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants."

I guess the top applicant was a big-brained Redditor.

lol imagine you literally print paper out of nothing (issue treasury bill debt) and people hand you any physical object you want and yet you want to fuck up that system to score cheap political points at home

So many rich and managerial class Americans have no idea what it’s like to actually work and provide value to the economy and they’re about to FAFO.

so after all that whining on the campaign trail, he’s changing nothing?

Aren’t like 99% of roses in the US imported from Columbia? They should just embargo flowers to the US and basically cancel Valentine’s Day

Colombia refused to accept military deportation flights from the United States, setting off a furious reaction from President Trump, who on Sunday announced a barrage of tariffs and sanctions targeting the country, which has long been a top U.S. ally in Latin America.

Hilarious to watch the US isolate itself further, this could easily turn into an oil emergency or at least Karen yelling about $20 covefefe
