Am I correct? Trump is saying that Canada and Mexico will be hit with 25% but China will only get 10% more? Trump is backing out of his 60% promise?

Mar a logo is the new White House South. Biden and Harris aren't in office either. They seem to have run away...

Sometimes when you sell a House you let the new owners in early. Trump can come start working now if he wants.

One of the reason people like myself supported Trumps policies was it is critical that America remain solvent and this means dealing with debt, China and an open border, primarily. It is imperative to avoid WWIII.

He promised he would hit China with a 60% tariff and even more if necessary which is very popular not only in America but among those nations at risk from Chinas immense rise and military expansion. Is it possible that he has too many weak China-First people on his team? I hope not, because if so Trumps term will be impacted greatly and China will be firing missiles into Taiwan before the end of his term.

If he determines that it's easier to just punish Canada et al and let China skate away, it will destroy his legacy. His threat to confront China wasn't a weak and meager "10% more than current tariffs". That's chump change compared to their tactics that have gutted U.S industries.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”


Trump said America’s neighbors can “easily solve this long simmering problem.”


Similarly, Trump said that China will face higher tariffs on its goods – by 10% above any existing tariffs – until it prevents the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

“I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail,” Trump posted on Truth Social.


The president-elect claimed in the post that Chinese officials promised him the country would execute drug dealers caught funneling drugs into the United States but “never followed through.”

Different goods will have different tariffs. It's always that way. Wait until the schedules are drawn up, then complain. Our trade policies should favor our allies, not vermin like REd China and Mexico.

What do you mean by "elimination of overtime"? Do you mean overtime wages will be reduced? That would be illegal and unconstitutional. They should be mandatory double pay, not reduced. No working person will support this.

It has already started. Four million workers right there. Salaried workers, with salaries of under $700 a week, are entitled to time and a half for hours worked over 40. But if your salary is higher than that, no overtime for you, no extra pay for extra hours. Nothing, nada, not jackshit. And funny thing, Trump actually raised the thresehold in his first term from the paltry level of less than five hundred dollars a week when Obama took office. Obama tried to raise it to around $900 a week, the courts blocked it. But they didn't block Trump. Biden attempted to raise it to more than a thousand dollars a week. Trump vowed to reverse that order, now he doesn't have to. But there is more.

Read it, at least use Ctrl F and search "overtime" within that document. Disallowing remote workers by reclassifying some of thier hours as non-working. Allowing overtime to be calculated on a monthly basis, not a weekly basis. Employers can require you to work 60 hours this week and twenty the next. No overtime. Think of the manufacturing workers that do the four on four off thing. What a gift to the employers. Fire fighters, emergency responders, nurses, police officers.

I think that due to Canadas Security Industrial Complex it is possible we get hit with a "civil liberties tariff". Or human rights, however they'd like to call it.

It's going to be a difficult four years if Trump takes the page out of Reagans book and demands that allies be allies that share the same values.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

He posted this yesterday so what are you talking about?

If he wanted to wait until he was inaugurated he wouldn't have posted it.

I see the concept of a threat is foreign to your Canuck mind.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Trump dropped a lot of bombs in his firs term. You’re hoping our enemies are afraid of him and hostilities don’t escalate because they think he’s crazy and untouchable. Supreme Court said potus is above the law.

I think he’s dangerous and should have NEVER been put back in power. Americans are Nazis

I highlighted your lies so you can edit them.

 

[Moonglow]

What do you think is going on? Where is Kamala today? Where's old Joe the Slow?
Trump is taking care of business, every day.

Joe was on yesterday announcing the cease-fire between Hamas and Israel.

Canada has been over run by Asians like we have Hispanics. But I can imagine that's by design because I know it's very hard for Canadians to have children and remain in the middle class. Even though they don't have to worry about healthcare for the little brat.

Before I do a search, I bet Canada's birth rates, without Asians, have declined.

Like that in most developed countries. Having pensions is a big source of worry, and immigration is seen as the most viable solution to that problem.

You know what just happened? The PM of Canada thinks he might put a little more effort into the border problem.
Here's why. 3/4 of what Canada produces is bought by Americans. It would destroy Canada's economy if we didn't buy it.

American/Mexico/Canada duty-free treaty with monitored borders OR tariffs. < The choice is completely up to you, Canada.
The Canadian PM is not our friend. He is the opposite. He is best friends with Soros and Schwab and the other WEF. They are even creating the 15-minute cities that the WEF wants to concentrate the herds in up there. Insane.

Everyone can do better, fine. Hitting Canada with 25% and China with 10% is a really bad look for Trump.

This is the type of decision that surely is viewed as weak in the eyes of the CCP. If Trump looks weak and China believes they have a patsy in the W.H who is doing the bidding for someone in his orbit, it's going to be a rough four years for America, Taiwan and others.

He should have come out swinging harder against China. This is the threat to WWIII most certainly.

Worse, the primary reason for such sneaking into America is the handouts you give illegals. Free money, free housing, a job under the table,. No wonder low skilled people are heading to the U.S.

If you didn't incentivize them they wouldn't sneak it from any border.

We shouldn't have passed all the Reagan, Bush and Trump tax breaks. We should have strengthened social programs. But you won. So now cuts to your social programs are certainly coming.

My buddy is a county clerk. Serve 2 four year terms, you get a pension. That will be on top of his cop pension. Funny cops and politicians aren't taking these programs away from themselves. Maybe Musk, Vivek, Linda McMahon and Dr. Oz will put an end to government pensions.

According to data from the Office of Personnel Management approximately 2.72 million people received government pensions in 2022

They don't mind because they just put it on the debt. Well, put my social security, that I paid into, on the debt too. Medicare too please.

The problem with the current system of government is that there's a very short term individual vision. The president says "make myself look good in 4 years, get reelected" and wham, I'm sorted, who cares?

They are coming because Obama was browning America. It stops now because he has finally been thrown out of office. The Democrat scheme to entice them, hoping for votes, created this mess. It stops now. Having Chinese spies working in government offices also stops now.

Not any border, just 2. The illegals have to go through your country to get to ours. Do you have no immigration laws, or are you overlooking them? The WEF wants Trudeau to keep the border as open as he can. America wants it closed. We shall see which route you take.

The border issue and what to do about China are two completely different things. And require completely different approaches. So does Russia, so does the Ukraine. Trump's foreign policy will deal with China in a way that will damage them and propel us. Would you mind waiting until he is in office before you start hammering away?

He has already declared a 25% tariff on his first day for Canada while a meagre 10% for China. I hope Trump won't be a weak sucker for China like so many other presidents. He needs to find his Reagan.
