And he rewards himself with even bigger tariffs on us...


...at this point, I really hope Carney (and other leaders around the world) plan to cut and remove themselves entirely of any reliance on the US economy. If they're going to be like this, might as well let them rot in the hell they made for themselves. The rest of the world needs to move on, IMO.

Honestly, I know it sounds counterproductive but I would actually be in favor of removing all tariffs on US goods up here.

Let the Oompa Loompa down south pay tariffs on imports, it's not like we pay to import goods into the US. Removing the tariffs on goods imported from the US will lower prices here and force the US to reconsider things a tad when they realize they are the only ones paying an additional cost on imports.

There is the likely risk of rewarding/enabling bad behavior...

...but I can agree it's an interesting idea.
 
I am totally shocked--SHOCKED--that the Trump Musk relationship is blowing up completely right now.
That's totally not something anyone couldn't see coming once Trump was done using Musk to get elected.
A completely totally unfathomable thing.

Indeed, the Co-Presidents have a (very predictable) falling out!

Trump floats terminating Musk’s government subsidies and contracts​

From CNN's Samantha Waldenberg
President Donald Trump floated terminating Elon Musk’s companies’ government subsidies and contracts as a way of saving money, intensifying the two billionaires’ feud on Thursday.
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
Musk then commented on a tweet about how that could end the International Space Station, writing, “This just gets better and better,” adding, “Go ahead, make my day …”
Minutes earlier, Trump wrote that he’d asked Musk to leave the White House, and claimed the Tesla CEO “just went CRAZY!”
“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY,” the president said. (There has never been a federal mandate that prohibited Americans from buying gasoline-powered cars.)
The president’s social media posts come as he said in the Oval Office earlier Thursday that he was “very disappointed” with Musk as he continues to blast the president’s massive tax and spending cuts package. Trump said he and Musk “had a great relationship,” but “I don’t know if we will anymore.”

Two (adult?) billionaires...........one the President of the United States......bickering like...........uhhh..... in public........

Btw.. the above reported as fact (real tweet) by Newsweek.
 
It is as if all their goodwill towards each evaporated like it was never there...

...either way, they enabled each other. That fact doesn't change. No good now blaming this on Biden, Mr. President. /shrug
