Summary
Donald Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, blaming them for failing to stop illegal drugs and immigration.
He also vowed to add a 10% tariff on Chinese goods until drug trafficking into the U.S. ceases.
Economists warn these tariffs could drive up consumer prices and inflation.
While violent crime has declined in recent years, Trump continues to link trade measures to border security and drug issues, echoing his first-term trade policies and immigration stance.
It seems pretty obvious that the plan is to deliberately destroy the US economy.
And Canada’s and Mexico’s as well.
The orange asshole just doesn’t gaf about anyone but himself.
He should be first on the BBQ menu.
