At this point, we just need to classify US trade and foreign policy as "deranged" and find stable trading partners.

Yep, all the pain and no gain. Already cancelled my Walmart Delivery Pass and swapped to PC Express. Now Iβm locked in for a year. Thatβs a year of groceries Walmart lost over this.
Personally Iβll be operating like this until the threats are gone, not just delayed, and even years into the future Iβll be much more cognizant of where my goods are coming from.
Bought a bunch of BBC Planet Earth 4K BluRays direct from them because the only other reasonably priced option was Amazon and Iβm avoiding them if possible.
BluRays using technology from Japan, pressed in China, containing a documentary series from the UK, purchased in Canada in CAD direct from the UK distributor.
Should be fine, right? Shipped from the US. Such nonsense.
Yeah, pretty much. I hope our governments can start building trade deals (and improve shipping to) other partners.
I hope that we keep all the measures we implemented until he fully backs down. We shouldn't get dragged into his instability.
I think we are
Speaking to reporters at a news conference earlier Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.

Don't think it's a climb down -- I think he just gets a kick out of keeping everyone else running around in circles and trying to second guess him. Makes him feel powerful and in command. Guy's a Guinness Book All-Time Record Jerk.
And it allows him to manipulate the stock market where all the so called money is.
Guy's a Guinness Book ASll-Time Record Jerk.
absolutely. he's a chaos machine. and if the pushback/ resistance is not painful enough for america, he will continue doing it.
part of me thinks this is being done to normalize the economic shock - he's already doing it socially. pull this crap often enough and the markets stop reacting violently.
he also gets to claim that the victims are the aggressors, ukraine style.

What a clown π€‘
He doesn't even know how badly he's embarrassing himself.
He doesn't care, as long as the money keeps flowing into his pockets.
I think he would care if he understood. He's super narcissistic, and that involves having a very fragile ego.
I'm betting he won't. He just wants to use the apparent threat as a bargaining tool. Only if these bavkdowns are anything to go by, he's hardly in a position to dictate. What a dumbfuck.
