Donald Trump is back in office and keeping his promises. Show your support for him to Make America Great Again!
The US market value wiped out by Trump ($3 trillion) now exceeds the GDP of the Canadian economy ($2.117 trillion).
Now now Matthew, we’re not doing second order thinking anymore. That’s for the corrupt liberals

Tariffs aren't political theater—they're math. 25% duties on steel and aluminum created $300B in domestic manufacturing contracts. USMCA rules pushed 47% of parts sourcing back to North American suppliers, up from 29% pre-2020.
Raw materials meeting U.S. quality standards
You can’t import an entire airplane. You fly it in with passengers and it will never be a Us good.
What airplanes are you talking about? Almost all aerospace companies in Canada are American

People really over-estimate how much of a product price is material cost, I find.
The globalists were preventing americans from growing their own steel.
Trump is creating a situation where he's forcing the west to embrace de-industrialization and de-carbonization alone. They won't last long, and we're fine watching it.
Very smart, very savvy! I also like how he's going to crush the North American auto manufacturers with tariffs on inputs, which will benefit Japanese and South Korean automakers. Again, this is 11th dimensional chess the likes of which we've never seen.
That's exactly what happened with previous steel tariffs. It hurt US manufacturers.
Products made of steel were not tariffed.
Dangote Refinery says limited NNPC supply is driving import dependence.
This is what im dealing with. My maquiladora is set up for near shoring per the usmca, highest portion of wages in in usa….it is line ball cheaper for china and Europe to import now and if 4/2 mx tariffs come in then everything collapses. Business needs stability to plan & time
Keep in mind that his issue with Canada never made sense to begin with. So...
This is going to have a major impact on the Airbus assembly plant in Mobile, AL
Seems cheaper to keep manufacturing here then and you'll pay a lower tariff. Plus the cost of building here will be cheaper than the US.
Of course not.
Why would they buy an airplane from Canada?
Trump is pushing that industry inside the US or just making cheaper deals with it’s second-aluminium partner… Brazil.
Have you heard any tariffs to Brazil, yet? 
President Trump issued an executive order indicating that he will focus on using the Alien Enemies Act to combat international cartels that have become entwined with “mafia states”.
Perfect, then I’ll just order a whole Bombardier Global 7000 instead of assembling it myself from parts.

Is this situation the product of delusional musings of an ignorant mind, or is it a calculated plan to dismantle the economic engines and societal norms of a strong America?
Isn’t it a good thing so that our great engineers can focus on more important stuff ? Isn’t that the logic ?
Because he wants to protect the American metals industry not the…American refrigerator industry
It's time to take our country back.
President Trump is picking the right people to secure our border and kick the criminals out.
And in Donald Trump's America, we can all be freedom fighters.

Break the back of economy , stock market, lose trillions , take money from millions of americans just to have some manufacturing jobs to produce something that yesterday could be bought cheaper
Which will make it cheaper to produce said metal in the United States! Jobs created!
Build your global presence. Remofirst takes on international payroll and employment responsibilities, so you can easily pay a global team in multiple currencies.
Is there not a single person in trumpland who has the balls to explain basic Econ to him?
Who’d you vote for, Matt? I’m inclined to believe Harris wasn’t (sniff) “progressive” enough for you.
This is so freaking dumb. The only solace is if the economy does in fact tank MAGA might fold.
We can't believe they released this video of Kamala Harris.
Matt Yglesias is doing a twister level exercise to explain his socialist viewpoints
"The Golden Age of America has only just begun."
Canada doesn't make refrigerators. Nor whole airplanes, apart from business jets.
Any chance that when the Dems are in power again they'll at least make noises about clawing back presidential tariff powers? It is insane that a madman can take office and easily, rapidly tank the U.S. economy.
FOFA this is temporary. Once we get those Canadians bent over grabbing their knees we will drive them home, Everything is going to be okay. They were listening to the Democrats. They actually believed Trump would capitulate to democrat public opinion. This is WAR
How do you like your Canadian refrigerator? Did you cough up for the Guy LaFleur model or did you go with the Maurice Richard?
Yep. Dealing with this now. Work for the largest aluminum company in the US and we get the bulk of our scrap from our sister plant in Canada. Absolutely fucking stupid decision that's going to hurt a U.S. company.
