Almost-congratulations in becoming the 51st American state, Canada! 😁
After King Trump the Traitor slapped Canada with an astonishing 25% tariff yesterday, Canada retaliated by adding tariffs on imported American goods. That was just, and expected... and incredibly stupid.
Justin Trudeau - for years not very popular with many of his conservative Snow Mexicans - took an unusually firm posture yesterday, almost like he's a man, and delivered a speech that wasn't meant to lick the diapered-covered seating platform of our Great Glorious Golden Leader. Trudeau's tariffs will be imposed on 155 billion Canadian dollars, which is roughly 107 billion US dollars. Mexico's tariff specifications will only be known this Sunday.
Already car dealers in the USA - many car parts are made in the two neighboring countries - report canceled deals, after the prices of some trucks, like the Dodge Ram, jumped from 80 000 to 100 000 dollars overnight. No religious hillbilly wants to sell another daughter just to energize that jump. This dramatic jump in prices is because car parts move several times across the American-Canadian border during the manufacturing process, and it gets taxed each time.
Already some Canadians are petitioning for Canada to cut gas to the USA, or to hike the prices of that too. It's one of Canada's biggest exports to America, powering up six million homes, and one thing Muricans cannot live without is reliable energy provision. As part of Canada's kick-back measures, American companies won't be able to bid for government contracts anymore.
These retaliatory measures are bound to 'officially' upsets King Trump the Traitor. Today and for the foreseeable future in public, Trump will act all dragon, spitting fire and riling up his hillbillies against Snow Mexicans.
But in private, Trump is grinning from ear to ear, cracking jokes via not too encrypted messages with Vladimir Putin. The latter, who swapped out his morning coffee for champagne after his sleeper agent became president, may now also be bathing in the bubbly piss of grapes.
A month ago, Trump declared economic war against both America's neighbors, then paused it after the leaders of the two countries jumped into action to kiss his feet. The pause was all an excuse, typical Trump, to throw the ball in the opponent's court, and then later claim anyway that the opponent didn't want to play along. Just like we've seen how he dealt with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. For the past month, both Mexico and Canada really did everything they could to appease Trump. Both sent thousands more soldiers to their borders to stifle the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigrants. But, whatever they could have done, it would not have been enough to get Trump to alter his plan much.
I knew the tariffs were all just a lousy excuse from Trump to fool the world, with less than 1% of that drug in the USA that entered via Canada. Yesterday, Trump followed through with The Plan, by not just "pausing" (read: permanently suspending) all aid (including humanitarian, which shows just what he is) to Ukraine, but also by starting a trade war with its two biggest economic allies.
One can call Herr Twatler all the unpleasant names in the book, but Stupid should not be one of them. Trump and Putin are both brilliant strategists, and proved themselves very able to anticipate how the world's peasants will react. And then the two dictators are all ready for it when it happens.
Trump knew exactly what Canada, Mexico, and China's responses would be: retaliatory tariffs. Havoc on the stock markets and a gold mine for insider trading. (You can bet Trump's mob went short and long at all the right places before the announcements were made yesterday.) Trump knew his kick in the teeth of former allies - but foes to Putin, remember - would be a definite knock on the US economy, and weaken the US even further. I may even get a love emoji on this article from Putin, for all we know.
Let us not forget, Canada sent a lot of weapons and other aid to Ukraine. They deserve a lesson, Putin said. Wait, said sleeper agent since 1987 Trump, I'll do you one better, Boss. I'll find a reason to piss off even Democrats against Canada, I'll get them to despise Canadians. I'll weaken their economy that depends massively on America, and over a year we can strike, declaring war against them, then incorporate Canada as the 51st state of the USA. With Mexico and other Latin American countries. Oh, and with Greenland as well.
Canada is in a somewhat catch-22 position. They rely on America for a whopping 80% of their exports, making it literally impossible to find other countries as trading partners fast enough to offset the inevitable loss of business. Already, more than 1 million Canadian jobs are about to be lost. The province of Ontario is home to Canada's auto manufacturing industry, and its premier, Doug Ford, says he expects many plants to now close down on both sides of the border. All because of one convicted felon, a friend of five pedophiles, the rapist of a 13-year-old child (but religious people say it's okay, the Bible condones it), who is busy destroying America.
Big mouth Trump usually brags about things he's going to do, and then it sounds so crazy that nobody believes him. Also because he's so dishonest of character, with all his lying daily. But just like Putin and Hitler, he follows through on his threats. That's the one thing the general populace fails to accept.
And so that's the plan, the bigger picture. Add in a lot of decoys, to distract the peasants and to divide them; sweep them up against one another. Putin will take all of Europe, Trump gets both Americas, and Xi Jinping gets Taiwan and all the rest of Asia. Three power blocks in competition with each other over 5 years, all three firmly under the control of a small group of super wealthy individuals. It sounds so big that many will call it ridiculous, impossible, not going to happen.
And that's why the plan will succeed by the end of this decade.
