Trump has started another stupid trade war with his constant punching bag, Canada.
The country is sick of this idiot's constant whining buffoonery over nonsensical problems that revolve around his diseased narcissism.
The Wall Street Journal feels the same.
President Trump took exception last year when we called his tariffs against Canada and Mexico the dumbest trade war in history. It got dumber this weekend as Mr. Trump escalated with another round of border taxes on Canadian imports, a mere 10 weeks before midterm elections.
I'm sure Trump is still pissed off the Supreme Court ruled against his illegal tariffs so by using Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act, he gets to appease his addiction.
As usual, Trump misuses the Act to justify his obsession, but that's par for the course.
The reason for his renewed attacks is immaterial to the truth. Demented Donald clings to the hope he can convince anybody other than his cult that tariffs are awesome.
"Why is Mr. Trump punishing Ford, America’s largest auto producer?" The Editorial Board asks.
Trump does not care who or what he hurts, ever. "Mr. Trump said Canada discriminated against the U.S. by retaliating against his national-security tariffs on autos."
The only discrimination happening in the US is being committed by Trump and his administration on Americans and migrants.
Mr. Trump’s latest round of border taxes will hit an array of consumer goods, construction materials and manufacturing components.
Republicans are already getting pounded on the campaign trail over his tariffs and inflation. One reason for Mr. Trump’s frigid approval rating is that voters believe Mr. Trump is waging blunderbuss wars without a strategy, and on trade they’re right.
The only possible upside to the madness of King Trump is maybe this will flip more seats in Congress to the Democratic party.
