The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

    Here’s your exact quote:
    you can’t get out of it this time. he won the popular vote. not voting is voting.

    So these tariffs are the will of the people or the will of the president? In your comment, you “scolded/teased/attacked” someone for saying that there is a difference. Your argument is that “the people”, ie everyone, blindly accepted and approved of whatever idiotic policy simply because Trump won the popular vote. I don’t accept that.

    I’m sorry but that’s just not how democracy works. Remember let’s go Brandon, remember #notmypresident, remember those “I did that” stickers, clearly this goes both ways. Being a democracy means that there is supposed to be some middle ground, some compromise, as well as room for dissent. Trump doesn’t do that, we are watching democracy die in real time and you think that this is what the American people want. Some, sure. But not all. I thought the dictator was supposed to be the guy in the White House, not some random little bitch in the comments section of one of the smallest social media platforms on earth crying that the the popular vote doesn’t allow for anyone to disagree with the president.

    I’m the one agreeing with the guy that said these tariffs are solely the presidents fault and idea. You are the one saying they are the American peoples fault and idea because Trump won the popular vote. Am I missing something here?
