No one has ever been able to satisfactorily explain to me why it's no big

when other countries tariff us-- including our friends, like Canada-- but
when
we do it, it's an absolute horror show that will undermine the world economy
and risk turning our allies into enemies.
 
Much like borders, tariffs are apparently fine for literally every other
nation on the face of the earth except the U.S.

Just for starters, when other countries impose tariffs it's usually in
the 5-15% range not Trump's 25%.

Would you believe these insane tariffs that the U.S. is bullying Canada with?

250% for milk?
291% for butter?
208% for whey?
241% for CHEESE?
 
Oh wait... those are actually tariffs that Canada imposed on the U.S. last
year.
