I'm beginning to think this Trump fella is not the brightest fork in the sea
Merica, we're taking it back.
You like Trump, you know it, time to show it.

How many times do I have to say it this is NOT true. The fentanyl tariff means that YOU have to pay an extra tax on every foil of fentanyl going through U.S. customs.
reminds me of how the IRS has lots of rules for reporting illegally obtained income....wonder how many times that's been used....
I think he means on legal pharmaceutical import of fentanyl, but who knows with him.
Say what?!
Drug dealers don’t pay taxes?
Next you’re gonna try to tell me it’s an all cash business that’s untraceable.
The chimicals used to make the drugs comes into Canada from China
Then the criminal organizationa in Canada make the Fentanyl and then it is sent into the US
So yes they can Tariff the value
Well, there are “Marijuana Tax Stamps” even though marijuana is illegal. I think that is what they are getting at. It’s just another charge for smuggling fentanyl into the US.
When it's smuggled through legal ports of entry they are paying tariffs.
It's been said something like 80 to 90% of imported goods are never checked.
Or do you think they are using speed boats for everything at scale? If so I'm sure there would be tons of speed boats they could
Fentanyl is used legally by the medical community as well, not just trafficked
You need to remove the flag if you want anyone to take you remotely serious bro.
They smuggle it through legally registered import mechanisms dumbass. They don't actually use a million speedboats at that scale.
Agreed. This is a stretch. Black market vs legal market prices are a small correlation at best.
The borders are going to experience delays. That costs. The items used to manufacture drugs are going to be accounted for, just like the drug.
The additional cost it will take to move drugs across the border is, in essence, an additional tariff for drug smugglers. You think they are going to do it for the same cost with the added risk? 
No numbnuts, but tariffing Canada and China heavily will pay for bor a er enforcement and LE here in the states.
Do you have any idea how much fentanyl is trucked across the northern border into the United States?
And how Canadian authorities get paid by smugglers to just look the other way?
Tariffs are a tool to force them to crack down.
No dummy he's putting tariffs on countries allowing fentanyl to be brought in. Always people scraping for a story
The tariffs impact fentanyl smuggling in that:
(1) Drugs are most often smuggled by being hidden inside of vehicles that are transporting legal goods (or within the legal goods themselves). Organized crime orgs & cartel leaders don’t buy all of those legitimate avocado, tequila,
Haha When you can’t read past a 5th grade level..
Just take part of the sentence you like.
For those that lack comprehension ability..
Trump said he wants Canada tariffed not fentanyl smugglers..
I don’t want to call everyone here stupid, but if the narrative fits!..

You know chemicals used to make fentanyl is what he is talking about. Dumb fuc.
No idiot! The tariffs are going on because they refuse to stop the flow and control their border.
Reasoning skills are required here, friend. He's discouraging countries from allowing fentanyl into the USA by using tariffs as pressure while also using tariffs to rebuild American manufacturing.
Drugs have been flowing in from Canada for decades!! I live on the Northern Boarder at an international crossing. Our jail is always full of illegals, Muslims, and drug traffickers.
Okay, so you on purpose misinterpreted, what his intent was, which was extremely obvious to anybody but the stupidest human
Sorry he doesn’t speak the language of moron like you do.
So you wouldn’t get it
I’m guessing you came from a mental institution judging on that flag you have in your name.
Really shows your identity.
That's the part I'm still unclear on. Does the dealer eat the increased cost, the customer, the distributor?
Technically they do have to pay this tariff. Unless they choose to further break the law.
I am being more charitable than any Republican will be in their entire miserable existence, but stamp tax on illegal drugs is a thing in multiple states.
Also I’m guessing he doesn’t understand the senate vote was symbolic with Johnson is not bringing any votes for the rest of the week since the mom’s vote by proxy bill passed
Does he think fentanyl smugglers add the value of the fentanyl to the price of the goods it is smuggled with, like "I'm shipping $3 million worth of fentanyl inside these Squishmallows, please add that to my tariff charge, thank you Mr customs man"
Is Trump retarded
On the day that the government can keep drugs out of federal prisons, then I'll believe they might have the skills needed to stop them at the border. But if criminal magicians can easily move them into guarded, locked boxes, any attempt at border "control" is a joke.
My fentanyl smuggler is always trying to hit me up for a 1099; those guys are by the books, especially the Canadian ones.
Well, yeah. If they didn't pay tariffs on fentanyl, that would be breaking the law.
The only reason he is mentioning Fentanyl is to try to support his ability to unilaterally impose tariffs without congressional approval. The "national emergency" that is being discussed by Senators.
I mean, palliative care patients would have to pay the tarrifs, and haven’t people dying from cancer have had it too good for too long?
Fetanyl is a prescribed drug. Think that’s more of where he’s going with that.
And you still think that bag of coke left in the White House wasn’t hunter bidens
You must be young—scoffing at what you can’t grasp risks turning you into the punchline. The target looms large: China, pumping out fentanyl under “Research Chemicals.” Unless you’re also an organic chemist with proof otherwise, it’s a complex drug to produce, so the CCP
Testing shouldn’t be complicated or intimidating—just one device can save a life. That’s why we created DEFENT ONE, an easy-to-use, all-in-one testing device for on-the-go safety. Let’s normalize harm reduction and looking out for each other. #AlwaysTest
Joey YOU GO MAN!!... DONT BE AFRAID TO SHOW YOU LACK OF INTELLECT. Daddy’s proud of you
Nope. He’s talking about holding the governments that allow smuggling accountable.
Be less stupid.
Let me translate on his behalf and explain.
Tariff Canada for the value of Fentanyl that is estimated to come in through the border. Forcing Canada to pay damages to the US through tariff or shut down the Fentanyl trafficked from China
Collecting tariffs from drug dealers. 
. Brilliant! That otta do it ! Crisis averted, and we are saved!!!

Well ALL my clients legally declared all drugs they smuggled into the country. They became my clients after being arrested for selling these legally declared substances on the street. OF Course.
Initially, I thought he was referring to hospital supply. But when you read the whole post, nope! He’s targeting drug dealers!
You can't tariff a damn illegal thing. Do the cartels fill out tax forms?
I bet if he did figure a way to levy tariffs on fentanyl, he'd be ALL IN on it all of a sudden. Since it would go to his Sovereign Wealth Fund grift.
would accept drug money in a heartbeat.
Fentanyl is used in some surgical procedures. All he’s doing is increasing healthcare costs.
What he doesn’t mention is the legit way for fentanyl when you have surgery/cancer/extreme pain… is going to cost that medicine a heck of a lot more than the illicit drug deals would pay lol
If Trump was any more stupid we would have to give stupid another name.
Damn, if we could have put tariffs against the fentanyl that all the smugglers from Mexico were sneaking in, they could have paid for the wall. Why didn’t he think of this sooner!!
oh so i guess we can't have any laws then bc the criminals will just break them 
i didn't take you for a libertarian
i didn't take you for a libertarian
No he’s not dumbass. This was News about 4 weeks ago. To get Canada to tighten the border to mitigate fentanyl inflow he was threatening with tariffs and Canada responded by hiring a fentanyl’s czar and adding choppers.
Side note you know tax fraud like not reporting your income fully is owed by say an undocumented person. Also their govnement is required to pay that debt.
He's putting tariffs on countries that are allowing the drugs to come over our border. Are you that stupid to not be able to put 2 and 2 together? Dipshit.
