Looking forward to her reminding Cheeto that Mexico is a sovereign nation with all the powers that entails. Especially the part where she threatens the big 3 car companies. The 2026 models are going to cost even more. Whose excited to put down a 10 year mortgage on a car!
And how long before we see a car meant to be modular/long term instead of disposable because prices are just that high? To be fair, I think this would have been a great idea 30 years ago.

These Republicans have insane main character syndrome, in relation to the US and the rest of the world.
Obviously, our politicians should generally prioritize what our country needs, just like anywhere else. But listening to them talk about the shit they want to do, it's as if they literally think we are just the kings of the entire planet and that every other country is beneath us and will just roll over to give us everything we demand. It's literally a bunch of children. It's almost fascinating.

I'm looking forward to their dream ship crashing into the rocky shoreline of reality.

Is per cent a typo or does it just mean percent.
-
It's a typo for percent. Trump announced a 25% tariff proposal.

Why does my country have to come out and be the fucking bootlicker?

I love how the news doesn't report the nuance of Justin's "certain amount" comment. Its like it's an Easter egg for those paying attention.
You were paying attention, right?

I don't know anything about Canadian politics but I know that people love to hate Justin.

She threatened “a response in kind… one tariff will follow another until we put at risk our shared enterprises”, adding: “Yes, shared. For instance, among Mexico’s main exporters to the United States are [car manufacturers] General Motors, Stellantis and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago.
oh god! she thinks that trump gives a rat's ass about anyone else but himself; he will happily surrender the entirety of this country, including ford or gm, if it would mean that he "wins". (just let the orange dumb ass "win" whatever he wants and let him think that he's in control).
she's comes from a COMPLETELY different world that trumps and is going to get her ass handed to her like kamala did if she doesn't learn quickly enough.

I would not bet on the President who deals with the Cartels losing to Trump. Especially when Mexico and Canada effectively control the American food supply chain. The cars are not her biggest stick and like a good negotiator she isn't starting with her biggest stick. If Trump doesn't back down then the mid terms are going to be a blood bath for the GOP.
-
She's not saying this for the US or Trump. She's doing this for her county and constitutes.
-
It's not about Trump. It's about causing instability. Under enough pressure the system will break.

The mexican made ford's are less reliable most times. No loss there. They should be us built anyhow.
No one should buy any vehicle made by stellantis. I can't believe that company keeps thriving away.
