Actually, he is taking America on the road to MAGA. Not a joke. Something the world is shook up about as they want us to be their dumping ground for their products. They are going to have to pay to play. The world wants us to be a consumer nation vs a producing nation. That is what they want and what they have been getting. That is ending soon if all goes well.
Car prices are already to high, with Canada and Mexico dealt out they will double. Trump has nothing to lose, this is his blaze of glory.
"[Strongman] has nothing to lose", similar setup as with a lot of history's worst episodes. Invoking Godwin is superfluous.
Canada imports more products from the US than it exports there. The only reason there is a deficit (for the US) is because of Oil. As far as Mexico goes, nobody forced the US corps to move their manufacturing to Mexico. Except the shareholders who demanded more profits. Same goes for China or the H1B Visa fiasco. I don't have a problem with capitalism but all this happened because of greed not because the world is taking advantage of America.
What makes America great is that they export inflation. They provide USD to the rest of the world. If Trump wants the US to produce everything in house, there is no need for USD anymore. I love many things about Trump, but this is going too far. He is picking too many fights and spreading himself thin. He has the support of no other country at this point, against maybe Israel, which is itself a problem. He is basically telling the rest of the world to leave the US alone and that its not open for business.
