I thought the tariffs were about fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?

“… Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again,” Trump said.

By his own words, he has just shown his big lie - his previous border excuses as the reason for trashing his trade agreements which are taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy.

    The fun part about Trump’s voter base is that when you point to this, they’ll still say it was about fentanyl. That’s the beauty of presenting contradictory facts: idiots will cherry-pick whichever one they think makes themselves correct and everyone else wrong.

      In fairness to MAGAts, the only info they are getting is Russian propaganda through Trumps mouth.

        Until you hear GOP/Trump renounce “misinformation”, assume that wherever it is coming from, it is sponsored by GOP. It is counterproductive to blame Russia for Trump actions, because you are deluding yourself/fediverse into war on Russia will change Trump’s mind.

      They’re not just idiots. They’re indoctrinated to the point of extreme mental illness; they’re a danger to society, and themselves.

        They think they’re in on the game. When they finally find out they’re not, it’s going to be a rude awakening and too late.

          You underestimate the cognitive dissonance of the average Trumper, there will be no awakening
