A trade war with Canada has got to be one of the dumbest things anyone has ever done in this nation.

Next up: Canadian bacon becomes American bacon!
"freedom bacon"
I understand many will find this a silly question but bear with me:
Under what authority can Trump ban imports from Canada?
I don't think he has any statutory ability to just ban shit from Canada. I'm sure this will go through the courts and eventually be ruled illegal, like the tariffs were. It's crazy that "President declares blatantly illegal thing but it's defacto legal for 90 days" has become the norm.
“Okay fine we aren’t banning it but it’s being terrified at eleventy katllion percent.”
This orange turd should prove how powerful he is and ban Canadian potash, energy products, rare earth, aluminum, nickel, or wood.
If someone had punched him in the mouth in 1970 we'd have never heard of this loser.
Ah, what's the difference, we're all gonna be killed by robots in a few years
Next up, Canada refuses to sell us anything used to make McD's hamburdurs and diet coke, Donnie's starves, and eventually the world recovers and goes back to sanity...
Along with the import bans and new tariffs, the U.S. has also quietly dropped tariffs on some products they hit with levies just a few weeks ago, said William Pellerin, international trade partner with McMillian LLP.
They include toilet paper, sugar, salt and cement, which is a big export for Canada, Pellerin said.
The removals suggest the United States probably realized they didn't have enough supply of those products and couldn't keep up with demand, he said.
"They quickly realized that they were probably shooting themselves in the foot."
Lol.
What Canada needs to do is add export taxes for these items. Charge the buyers this extra tax. And do it on potash and oil too. Use the cash to help businesses weather the storm.
And electricity.
The bigger the size of the import, the larger the impact, the more diffcult to tarriff or block.
So cool that one guy can set so many rules for so many things, including how I vote in my state.
The right: BUT MAH KAWNSTUHTOOHSHUN!!!!
Turns out that most conservatives never gave a flying fuck about any of it. Except for having a fucking arsenal that they could wave around to threaten any minorities that annoy them.
