The tariffs are such an unnecessary anchor weighing down every single person on the ballot. it's beyond ludicrous. Unreal how he loves to make everything way harder than it needs to be. "Never underestimate the republicans ability to screw things up...." I heard someone smart say that a few times ;)
If the American people feel unsettled, Trump is upping the ante.
Is all this necessary with Canada?.
Then to add insult to injury, the tariffs are passed down to the consumer, but Big Bz.already receiving tariff money back with 7% interest. The hits keep coming.
We’ve already pulled the rug out from under Ukraine. The CIA is about to make it official. Putin can’t be trusted to pull support for Iran no matter what he says .
Re Dolly Parton: she lived the rags to riches story and always gave back. She may have been a baby boomer but she fit the greatest generation.
Re Radcliffe and his C-17 ride: I suspect it’s a carrot and stick visit. The plane can be used to transport anything: troops, vehicles, supplies and munitions. Maybe a reminder of US capabilities since Putin would know everything about the plane. Maybe Radcliffe is there reminding Putin NATO is still all for one and one for all. Maybe a nudge to lean on Iran since Russia and China are the only countries with hard currency Iran can do business with and get money it might actually be able to spend somewhere.
Re trade wars: Trump has played his tariff war card too many times. He’s succeeded in roiling some of the markets for now. Canada will offer the same deal everyone else has: we’ll give on a couple of points, you give on a couple of points, and the tariffs get reset to previous levels or close before the threatened rate take effect. Trump should meet with people who really know the art if the deal: Warren Buffett for one.
Looking forward to your show tonight Leland. So sad we lost Dolly Parton. She was special and her legacy will live on. This tariffs thing with Canada is ridiculous! Talk about making things more difficult...
The SC stopped one law being used for source of tariffs. Other laws require justification for tariffs-Trump admin makes paper work justifying. Truth Trump believes in tariffs as his hero McKinley did. They were so unpopular led to ;populr outcry for income taxation and the 16th amendment
Assuming arguendo that Trump really has economic arguments with Canada-the way to guarantee that Canada can't agree is by attacking their national choices. Trump has attacked the place of French in Canada-it makes it more expensive to do business-much of English Canada not happy BUT it is the price of staying as one country-bilingualism , binationalism is how Canada was founded and Quebec would leave if take away French rights/power. Of course, saying they should be 51st state is up their as misguided tough talk with trying to take over Greenland.
Do we know how much tariffs Canada was already placing on American goods before any Trump tariffs? I thought the Trump tariffs are about leveling the playing field and tit for tat. Did I miss something? I know Canada has put a hurt on the Kentucky and others bourbon liquor business. Where does all this end?
Remember Trumps looseness with the truth was most evident at the beginning of 2.0 when stated wanted to tariff Canada because they don't stop Fentanyl-they are de minimis source of that drug in the US.

Such a loss in Dolly's passing, she was indeed one of a kind. A powerful voice with such a kind heart. And a high IQ behind her clever tongue.
-. CIA goes to the Kremlin?!
-.AI data centers need better PR, and better planners.
-.Trump's influence is a double edge sword, and is being tested for sure. And not all his candidates are worthy.
-.Humans start trading as kids, this should not be this difficult. And Trump's are sometimes questionable.
--Looking forward to your guests and your point of view, as always!

Exhausting- I thought Supreme Court stopped Trump tariffs ?

Riveting.

Before Donald Trump there were minimal tariffs between our 2 countries-minimal as % of trade.
Art of the deal- to the bone at Ukraine- for the break at Iran- china gets a pass our country’s lender of last resort.
Trump = Exhausting
Leland your Trumps biggest fan - Trump never looses- I’ll stick with your “zeal” he’s banking on Art of the deal - for his legacy
Yet I’m weary- trusting your vision
