    The U.S. is currently being run by a child who throws tantrums at people who disagree with him and, like a child, does not acknowledge his mistakes.

    I’m tired of the highly-publicized threat to add tariffs and surcharges, followed by the quiet and ignored backtracking of the same. I’d like for leaders to stick to their word so I know what to expect day-to-day.

    This constant pissing on each other’s legs as a show of dominance is fucking exhausting. I’d like off of this stupid merry-go-round.

      I kinda feel like you are creating a false equivalence (perhaps unintentional) between what Trump is doing and what Canada/Mexico/etc are doing with this line.

        That’s a fair critique. I definitely don’t feel like Canada and Mexico are doing anything wrong and the fault is entirely with the Trump administration.

        I’m just tired, mate.

      This is meant to up-end the Canadian economy. He feels the US economy can outlast this but Canada’s can’t. It’s war but he won’t declare it cause he is a coward.

        It’s meant to undermine both economies. Russia believes a weaker US is better for them. And US policy currently aligns with Moscow. Moscow more than New York, LA, or Chicago.
