President Donald Trump says he will double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada, escalating a trade war with the United States’ northern neighbor and standing unmoved by recent stock market turmoil and rising recession risks.
I’ve already said this on Bluesky, but I’ll say it again. He has such little self-awareness that he doesn’t even properly consider why Canada is retaliating in the first place. He’s like a little child stomping his feet because he can’t get a can of pop.
Except the can of pop is every can of pop that has ever existed.
Pretty much.
