For the last year that data was available check the amount of fentanyl seized at the Canadian border.

I guess that's enough for Americans to pull the plugs on Biden administration and follow Trump

Ogbeni, stop trying to spin this, we no be kids. Nothing changed between Saturday and now. Mexico and Canada already discussed their plans in dealing with bother crossing and inflow of Fentanyl to US before Saturday. Canada has long made the claim that less than 1% inflow of drugs and immigrants come from Canada and already committed more than $1B to strengthen their bother with US... but your oga still went and imposed the tariffs. When he saw the reaction, he did MJ backsliding and started calling. Why didn't he call the Mexican And Canadian presidents before announcing the tariffs?

And according to him, the number three reason for imposing the tariff are "the massive subsidies we’re giving to Canada and Mexico over deficits". Has that also changed from Saturday till now.

You MAGA can buy his BS reasons for reversing himself, the rest of us no mumu like that.
You can continue to wail, the majority of America voted and support Trump to implement his plan for America after the disaster under the Democrats. We expect you to wail continuously

hahahahaha grin Very lame response.

It's okay, I know it's difficult to defend every of Trump's bs like this one... but hey, buckle up, you are just starting and I have no sympathy for any MAGA. Your Lord and Master has enough bs in him to dole out one bs per day for the next 4 years... grin

And Dayo, can you imagine a black man Ramaphosa dragging your white king on the mud like that... MAGA needs to get US to buy over Ramaphosa and South Africa. SA should become US plantation field and All the blacks in SA should be made slaves again to work for Trump, I know Co-President Musk will be happy with that. grin

What brought the tarriffs in the first place

Canada stop the inflow of Fentanyl, Mexico stop the inflow of drugs and immigrants

The Mexican president has gotten on the phone to talk to Trump. It shows the tarriffs threats worked

Canada and Mexico need America more than America needs any of them. That is the fact
This is more Raumdeuter Intellectually Dishonest Bullshit.

Fentanyl was a canard for Trump to impose Tariffs.
Trump doesn't have the power to tariff countries without Congress. They already ratified a treaty.
The only way he could tariff Mexico and Canada was through a National Economic Emergency Power in the Tariff law Congress gave him.
Thus the BS excuse.
Less than 1% of the flow of Fentanyl comes in from Canada.

Trump needs to make up revenue for the tax cut and other programs he wants. Hence the need for tariffs.
He had to reverse course when the market crashed and make up a dumb excuse.
That should terrify everyone.

Not sure why people here take pride in being ignorant and easily duped.
The internet is vast and knowledge there is generally free.
No need to be uninformed.

Under Biden medicaid expanded by 60% illegal aliens get free medical aid. By removing them it looks like he could cut down on medical spending massively.
By tariffs he could raise more revenue and reduce the income tax to a bare minimum.
That's what Trump told me when he called me on my MTN line ,we didn't finish the call, the power went out.

They do that a lot.

When there’s no valid response they can give it becomes “but Americans chose it”. Erm are we priding ourselves on the fact that Americans are ground floor level stupid? Is that a flex?

People who cheered when he said he’ll tariff our neighbors and then ran to google AFTER VOTING to find out what a tariff means and who pays for it.

Why cant you imagine it?
What is wrong with a Black man dragging a white man? This inferiority complex sef. Is it only a white man that can drag a white man or a white man that can drag a black man?

When did it become a medal of honor that a Black man is dragging Trump?

China plans are not short term. It's to return to the days of Silk road. The belt initiative plan is to build a huge infrastructure worldwide all leading to China From roads, railways , seaports, airports everything. They fund huge infrastructure projects that countries can't afford to repay and on default they threaten to take over a very strategic asset of that country
Chinaman is playing long term to replace the west as the most dominant power.
WTO calls it a developing nation because of GDP per Capita or whatever metric , their products attract lower lower tariffs.
With cheap labour, a 600 million middle class population and having massive domestic spending power they can manufacture stuff at cheaper cost than every other nation. They have the best established supply chain of most products under the sun.
Govt looks away when it comes to Intellectual property.

I can write a long story about China.
The foolish west hates fossil fuels but china is bringing online a new coal plant per week. The west energy is higher ,their labour higher, they have smart ass MBAs sending manufacturing to China.

When it comes to Africa they propose a project , they fund it and their companies build the project with plenty Chinese labor. They import almost everything say even cement whereas local companies are producing clinker. We used to say those guys doing the rebar are prisoners out on good conduct. I have seen tendering for roads where local companies with only three graders are competing with Chinese having hundreds of graders and with multi million dollar projects completed and backed by huge financial bonds. So the Chinese will.say...you want a railway. Tell us from.what point to what , we'll build it then you can start paying us off after xyz years at this rate. That's the debt trap.
In the days before China came to Africa the development bodies would fund a project, give the govt money as a loan which is promptly wired to Guernsey or Caymans by the corruptocrats.
---Have you heard the latest---Felon 47 to sign EO to exit WTO---because it is headed by a DEI---he is also threatening South Africa with massive tariffs because the President is a DEI---who is confiscating lands from the white minority---

That politics is over.
Dems have to fight back and stop believing that Republicans will ultimately do the right thing.
After Trump, they had an opportunity to put new laws in place to fortify the norms and hold Trump account for what he did.
They talked, debated and dithered until Trump won office and is now wholesale destroying the US government as it was.
Dems are hopefully not so stupid they'd think the current maga Republicans would do the right things, and instead hope the people see what magarepubs do and choose the better things.

The unions knew what Biden did for them, they still supported Trump who wants to destroy unions.

I think people have to live it firsthand before they understand the consequences of their votes.
There you go. But don't be surprised if people vote for the same party again and for a while, just as Nigerians elected APC's Tinubu after 8 years moaning about APC's Buhari.

---The US border goes from California to Texas---10,000 troops is nothing---waste of time to let Felon 47 look stupid---what ever happened to the beautiful wall which he said will be paid by Mexico during his first term---

Leave these spin stories for his stans. You're more objective, or at least, I like to think so.
Objective? You serious mate? He's nothing but objective. MAGA is a disease. They will defend anything even if it means their own extermination.

A few hours ago, he was adamant there's no such thing as the picture below.

This idiot Trump ordered dams opened up in a part of California that is physically impossible to transport water to fires in Los Angeles from.
And he opened up the damn in such a way that it would have released enough water to cause a flood.
He was partially stopped when people convinced him not to open it up that much.
But now the water he has allowed to flow will be wasted and will cause Farmers to probably not have water for their crops in the Summer.

This is the Trump I remember all to well from the Pandemic.
Performative Politics that always do more harm than good.
The level of incompetence and wickedness demonstrated here is unbeleivable.

Trudeau admitted to folding and creating a Fentanyl Czar and everything Trump wanted

"Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million."

Same as in Mexico, as far back as 2019.
