 Then we will wake up and realize he actually did what he
 threatened to
 do and now all those cheap Chinese goods are no longer cheap, gas is
 no longer under $3 for much of the country (sorry BTR) due to Canada
 raising oil prices and all those fruits and veggies and cars from
 Mexico now cost 20-30% more. Thanks Trump.

 
 If Trump imposes duties on incoming Canadian petroleum products of
 course prices will be raise to cover the new costs Trump has imposed.

 
 Now if you can just convince Trump of that....

 
 I think Trump likely knows that. He just refuses to say it as he knows
 if he keeps saying tariffs are paid by the country they are imposed on
 enough people will believe it to keep him in good standing.

 
 More to the point, I think he knows it would trigger a trade war and
 feels it's a trade war he can win decisively.
 
 Meanwhile it's causing havok in Canada as the Canuck buck has dropped
 3 to 5 cents which is starting to cause price increases across the
 board at the worst possible time of year.

 
 There is a theory making the news rounds that the tariffs are a club to
 beat Canada and Mexico with until they seal the US borders to stop
 illegal immigrants and drugs from entering the US.

 
 That's probably about right.

 
 Whatever works.

 
If Mexico (and Canada) took Trump's bluffs seriously Mexico would've
"paid for the wall."

With the $165 billion we've given to Ukraine, we could have built six border
walls to stop illegal immigrants from pouring across our southern border.

We also could have fixed Flint's water system 215 times over.
