Some need to wake up a bit when it comes to this. There won't be an insurgency because Trump won't want one, he'll just kill the citizens en masse. He sees himself as a Putin, so see what Putin does and understand that's what he will do.
Some need to wake up a bit when it comes to this. There won't be an insurgency because Trump won't want one, he'll just kill the citizens en masse. He sees himself as a Putin, so see what Putin does and understand that's what he will do.There is an article discussing that scenario. Here is a sample from it:
What happens if fighting begins?
Trump told the executives that the White House would look unfavorably on such a move, leaving some of them rattled and worried they would face punishment if they increased prices, people with knowledge of the call said.
Instead, Trump said, they should be grateful for his elimination of what he called President Joe Biden’s electric-vehicle mandate, which involved subsidies and emissions requirements to encourage electric-car production. He made a lengthy pitch for how they would actually benefit from tariffs, two people on the call said, adding that he was bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and was better for their industry than previous presidents.
An executive at one of the automakers said they were baffled by the desire to both impose tariffs—but also tell car companies they couldn’t raise prices.
“The math would tell you, that’s going to cost us multibillions of dollars,” the executive said. “So who pays for that?”
Just absolutely divorced from any sort of reality.

They've been given a common enemy, always good for rallying folks.
There is no way Trump wrote that post.
It certainly was during COVID. People love paying more for stuff.The huge spike in used car prices is also likely to be very popular.
The Great Canadian Circuit Breaker is right next to the Great Canadian Water Faucet. The last guy to touch it got zapped and he's never been the same since.Oh well famously adept international diplomat JD Vance is on the case. Carney should turn off the power every time Vance is on TV and even says the word "Canada".

But Trump continues to muse to advisers that his administration should continue to escalate the trade measures and has in recent days revived the idea of a universal tariff that would apply to most imports, regardless of their country of origin, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions.
In public and private, the president has said tariffs represent a win-win that will bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States and fill federal coffers with trillions of dollars in new revenue. He has also said he thinks he made a mistake in allowing advisers to talk him out of bigger tariffs during his first term, the people said, and that he thinks a single, simple duty on most imports could help prevent exemptions from weakening their impact. It’s unclear how seriously that proposal is being considered.
The president said that he “couldn’t care less” if foreign automakers raised prices after he announced that he would impose 25% tariffson all foreign-made automobiles.
Asked what his recent message was to motor industry CEOs, and if he warned them against raising prices, Trump said, “The message is congratulations, if you make your car in the United States, you’re going to make a lot of money. If you don’t, you’re going to have to probably come to the United States, because if you make your car in the United States, there is no tariff.”
When pressed if he told CEOs not to raise prices, as reported in the The Wall Street Journal, Trump added, “No, I never said that. I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars.”
Trump continued, “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty.”
Asked if he was concerned about car prices going up, Trump said, “No, I couldn’t care less, because if the prices on foreign cars go up, they’re going to buy American cars.”
And the cars with the most American content, are not made by American car companies. Other than Tesla, and they aren't affordable, and they aren't selling much at the moment.Staffers: Sir, we need to do some better messaging on rising prices.
Trump: No problem!
Trump says he ‘couldn’t care less’ if automakers raise prices due to tariffs, says he believes it will make people buy American-made cars
He doesn't even know what percentage of what models of what manufacturers are made here, or elsewhere. It's breathtaking how ignorant he is.And the cars with the most American content, are not made by American car companies. Other than Tesla, and they aren't affordable, and they aren't selling much at the moment.
Toyota and Honda will fair better than the big three. Ok with me, I prefer Toyotas and Hondas anyways.

Are you not entertained??
Here is Navarro doing more lying saying that tariffs are tax cuts:

It would make sense, as the nazi's tariffs have always been a backdoor way to sneak the GOP's wet dream of the Fair Tax in. E.g. the one where you pay a 25% sales tax while the ruling class gets their income tax wiped to zero.
I'm gonna call BS on this having studied a few courses from India's IIT system. They're tough but not any harder than equivalent courses at top US universities like Harvard, Berkeley, or MIT.Did you know a Chinese or Indian 8th grade student can do what a college student does in the US with ease?

I know an Aussie who was studying abstract algebra and calculus at age 8 but I'm not going to make broad generalizations about Australia based on a top student.From what I gathered by travelling there circa 2008-2010 around New Delhi the kids were being taught:
Advanced geometry/ trignometry in grade 6
Algebra/ logs/ logarithms in grade 7
Calculus in grade 8
I don't think it's BS.. it's just they expect more from their kids. IIRC they said they teach em because they have really hard tests to get into the higher grades and college.
That's not to say they have a perfect system.. I remember them complaining they had to learn Sanskrit as a second language.. it's a dead language.
At least New York schools gave me a choice of Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese which are much more useful!
