Lol I love the backpedaling, last night. It was the end of the world and Trump was going to destroy everything, the economy was going to be wrecked and we were all going to die. But today it was already in place and Trump didn’t do anything.
L O L. Ok

Perhaps, but the last chief we had was just full of gas. So I guess we’re better off?

Slash and burn, constant gaslighting and only fighting for the rich is going to hurt everyone who isn't rich even the most diehard MAGAts.

Well there was nothing really new added, that’s the thing. Trump went from saying “there’s nothing Mexico and Canada can do to delay tariffs” to delaying tariffs and Mexico and Canada didn’t do anything extra other than what was already in place or planned
Doug Ford of Canada threatened to rip up musks starlink contract, maybe that was the final straw?
Ontario premier says he's 'ripping up' $100m contract with Musk's Starlink in response to US tariffs
The leader of Canada’s most populous province of Ontario says he’s ripping up a contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet services in response to Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada, as well as banning American companies from provincial contracts

Retired 2020. Not my Problem Anymore!
Can you imagine the genius of Trump. Everything was already in place yet he got the MSM and Dems screaming how he was going to cause all kinds of problems. He then comes in and does absolutely nothing But now the problems they said he was going to cause now all seems to go away, so his supporters love him and the Dems and MSM look like chicken little once again. The Dems look like fools once again and Trump looks like he solved multiple problems in one afternoon and he did nothing. Thank you @MAKAVELI for pointing this out. My god this man is amazing. I didn’t think I could support him anymore but this is just fantastic.

$68M contract with Starlink over a United States tariff threat (that never even happened) was a legal and financial catastrophe. Even though he's now paused the termination due to a 30-day tariff delay, the damage is already done-and Ontario taxpayers will likely be on the hook for millions.
- Breach of contract - Ford's move was legally baseless, exposing Ontario to a wrongful termination lawsuit. The United States government and Starlink are not the same entity, a fact which seems to have been lost on him, and Starlink can still sue for lost profits and damages, even if the contract is reinstated.
- Bad faith governance - Ford's knee-jerk decision makes Ontario look unreliable to contractors, meaning future contracts will cost more as vendors factor in the risk of political interference.
- Taxpayer liability - If Starlink sues, Ontario could be forced to pay millions in damages plus legal fees, even before factoring in the reputational hit.
- No legal justification - The threat of tariffs is not a legal reason to break a contract. Courts won't buy Ford's excuse, and Ontario will lose in court.
- Permanent business damage - This stunt signals to investors and businesses that Ontario's government makes reckless decisions based on politics, discouraging future partnerships.
- Even if Ford fully reverses course, this mess will cost Ontario taxpayers, one way or another. A completely avoidable self-inflicted disaster, with literally the
reasons why people have always said we can't just nationalize the 407.
Bravo Doug lol

Lie.Canada had announced its $1.3 billion border and immigration investment at the end of last year.
Canada already had these plans implemented.
Trump and leaders of Canada and Mexico say tariffs will be delayed one month after talks
Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum and Canada's Justin Trudeau posted on social media about plans to police their borders. New tariffs on goods from China are still set to go into effect.www.nbcnews.com
Mexico is deploying 10,000 troops, which they already did
Typical for you.

The American public support this.
They voted for it.
He said he would do this and now he has.
MAGA.
Again, you got it backwards. Trump put in the tariffs, and Mexico and Canada backed down on retaliatory tariffs. Trump put in a temporary pause to see if they follow through. And China started talking about buying more American products. We didn't back down at all.

You have it backwards. Trump put in tariffs, they put in retaliatory, trump backed down after agreement, but he got nothing new out of the deal. Maybe they will enforce it stronger, well see.
Who in the heck are you listening to? Everybody is saying/admitting that Mexico and Canada backed down from retaliatory tariffs. Trump didn't back down at all. He gave them a one month reprieve to prove they're serious.
100% wrong. They threatened retaliatory tariffs but didn't. They called Trump and agreed to give him what he asked. What did we give them? Nothing but a one month pause to see if they'll uphold their end.
