Trump DEMANDS Lumber, Carney SLAMS The Door

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Dumbass strikes again.

[Jim__]

1. An economic chess game - and Trump's making the moves for our side. What could go wrong?

[brush]

4. Chess? He's still playing checkers.

[Dem2theMax]

11. More like he's playing Pick Up Sticks.

Get it? They're made of wood.

[Conjuay]

18. Tic tac toe is his speed

[Teacher of the Year]

19. Thumb wrestling...with himself...and still losing.

[markodochartaigh]

22. Trump is playing

Russian roulette.

[Irish_Dem]

26. More like he is just playing with himself.

[DBoon]

30. nah, wrestling entertainment

checkers is too intellectual for Trump

[Captain Zero]

2. If shortages delay the BALLROOM??

Bwahaha.

[Deuxcents]

3. Even if we could get all the lumber, steel and other materials, our housing workforce is being deported

Or the experienced people staying away for fear of being caught in the crossfire. The information in this video is not very good for the short term and the future looks even worse

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. Dumbass never thinks these things through

[Grumpy Old Guy]

14. He lacks critical thinking skills.

In other words, he's just stupid.

[BComplex]

15. Republicans historically don't think these things through. Very short-sighted people who never

weigh the consequences of their actions.

[brush]

23. Yep, a good percentage of the workers on home contruction sites are immigrants.

Has been that way for decades and contractors/border patrol/Congress, with a wink and a nod, let it go on because the economy depends on immigrant labor. Now with TSF, we're FAFO.

The moron is large and in charge.

[dem4decades]

5. I hope Canada finds someway to shove it up the US's ass.

They don't deserve this bullshit. With friends like us, who needs enemies.

[Deuxcents]

7. Well..this is one way of getting at us and it seems they have no shortage of buyers.

This businessman running our country has a resume of failures and he’s still at it with an administration of yes people..whatever you say, sir.

[Old Crank]

8. Canada is working to expand their exports away from the US

They now can ship lumber to the other countries to the west with no tariffs. They are building ways to send energy to Europe and working with Mexico to trade directly and skip the US.
Quebec could cut electric shipments to the US also.

[dem4decades]

9. I can't believe China or Japan couldn't use their lumber.

And good for them for telling Kentucky to shove their bourbon up their red neck asses.

[Old Crank]

36. in the video that I saw

I belive Japan was one of the markets. Perhaps China also.
The video had a lot of chaff to grain. Which seems endemic to video stuff.

[Gordcanuck]

16. At one time

Canada shipped complete prefab modular housing to Japan. Tariffs were not an issue and our lumber along with value-added wood products will keep us in business while the Trumpy gang cries foul.
When will our dear southern neighbour wake up and stop the nonsense of trying to prosper by bullying its business partners?

[Old Crank]

37. Engineered wood products alsohad no tariffs

going to the countries. Sending that material also is good for Canadian employment also.

[Cha]

10. Cope harder, Fuckface Despot..

PM Carney's in Charge.

[erronis]

12. Carney can have most of the northern segment of the US as a province, if he wants it.

[Botany]

13. Carney has a B.S.in economics from Harvard, a master's & doctorate from Oxford, and he was the # 1 person @ the Bank

…. of England and Trump is just a dumb shit. Canada and Mexico just signed trade agreements with each other cutting
the United States completely out of that deal. So much of all the deminsonal wood that we use is Canadian S. P. F.
….spruce pine fir …. and losing that wood and raising costs will drive so much of America into the ground.

[Hope22]

21. Trump will harvest the national parks..

….sell leases to his buddies and pocket the cash……part of his plan to denude this country of anything beautiful or of monetary value.

[Botany]

25. 2 problems with that:

Are the same kind of wood as what we were getting from Canada?

Just because you cut down trees doesn’t mean you have the capacity to turn that wood into lumber.

[Hope22]

29. His plan is destruction...

And he’s doing a great job! My guess is that he is getting paid for it. If my memory servers me I think he has already talked plans for raiding national resources on federal land. Time will tell!

[Botany]

33. He is undoubtedly burning America to the ground because he works for Putin and watch him to push that crypto crap too.

N/t

[Hope22]

35. Yes on Crypto...

There was a bill being floated for financial institutions to back failing crypto with cash depositors funds. I haven’t read the outcome on that. Project 2025 aims to kill FDIC. They won’t be happy until they have emptied the banks.

[Deuxcents]

27. Omg..no offense intended but I sure hope you're wrong about this

[Hope22]

31. I hope I'm wrong too..

But not hopeful! He’s a thieving monster.

[Norrrm]

28. 1500% price decrease is Donald's understanding of economics.

Trump gives drugmakers 60 days to slash prescription drug prices

Trump: We’re going to get the drug prices down by 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.

Does this mean that the pharmacy is going to pay you 14x the original price to take the medicine home?

These percentages are from the graduate of a well-known business school.

32. Trump went to the University of Penn* which is the home of Wharton's business school but he was nowhere near their MBA

… program. The man is an idiot. 100% reduction means the stuff is free.

* after flunking out of Fordham and his dad bought his way into Penn and no doubt paid others to
take the classes and tests for him.

[twodogsbarking]

17. I don't think Canada will be the 51st state, how 'bout y'all?

[no_hypocrisy]

24. TSF actually believed that he could manipulate Justin Trudeau,

that there would be no negotiations, and that he could even pick up a few million dollars in the process. After all, that's how he's done real estate deals, etc. in the past and no one stood up to him.

[bucolic_frolic]

34. The other nations of the world will trade just fine - without US.

This will create a robust domestic recession, crash the US dollar. I mean a recession that contracts GDP to -5%.

Is Peter Navarro awake yet?
