JD Vance Hit With Brutal Fact-Check on Trump and Mexico Tariffs
The vice president tried to claim a Trump win on Mexico tariffs. That’s not exactly the case.
Trump 47
- Thread starter PF5
- Start date
The tariffs never went into effect at all did they?

I bet CEOs all over are keeping this stunt in the back of their minds. They never know when he's going to pull something dumb that won't get turned off. So, even if tariffs don't go into effect them this time, you can't say there was no impact.
It doesn’t look like that to you because you have the most severe case of TDS in the history of the world. Just take the win for our country and move along dude.
Thought you didn't use Twitter. Somehow that's turned into finding yes men and posting it as gospel.

I can't find the article now and im not going to go searching for long right now, but I was reading about US CEOs being hesitant to make large investment because of concerns over impact of tariffs and not knowing what Trump will do any given day.

Canadian businesses plan to shift investment and operations to U.S. to mitigate potential tariffs, KPMG survey shows
The results from the survey, which included 250 business leaders from across Canadian industries, come as Donald Trump threatens to hit imports with punitive tariffs
www.theglobeandmail.com
That survey was done prior to announced (and since delayed while Trump claims he got things Canada had decided to do) tariffs.
And the fact that your fellow gullible Trump Deification Syndrome (TDS, Type II) sufferer thinks it was because of the tariffs flies in the face of what the 250 survey participants actually said.
“Looser regulations and lower taxes make doing business in the U.S. more attractive, especially in the face of 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian goods, economists say. In the survey, 85 per cent of the respondents agreed that the federal and provincial governments must cut taxes to stay competitive.
Nine out of 10 respondents said they “wholeheartedly believe” that the federal and provincial governments “must stand firm in protecting Canada’s sovereignty and values,” even if it hurts their business. Over eight in 10 want a targeted, dollar-for-dollar retaliatory response.”
But don’t let facts get in the way of your cheerleading.
For about the one hundredth time. I have a twitter acct. that I haven’t logged into for years. Wouldn’t even know how to login in to the account. Shouldn’t you be counting your eggs?
My mortgage payment is due on the 1st. I have autopay so its always paid on time but for some weird reason the bank called and told me it better not be late this month. I was confused but I saw everything went through like normal so no worries on my end. My bank crowed about how they got me to cave and pay my bill.
Same thing happened today.
Lol. Gaslight much? And you need to find a new bank.
They’re coming. Everyone (well everyone except you) knows it. Like I said earlier, it’s gonna be another long week for you gals. Get some rest.Canadian businesses plan to shift investment and operations to U.S. to mitigate potential tariffs, KPMG survey shows

Almost forgot about the racism. Can't go a day without reminding us of that can they.

Ford pauses retaliatory measures to U.S. tariffs after Trump delays them by 30 days CBC
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is pausing all retaliatory measures in response to U.S. tariffs after President Donald Trump chose to delay imposing them on all Canadian imports for 30 days.
That pause includes Ford's promise to rip up Ontario's nearly $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink, a spokesperson confirmed.
On Sunday, Ford ordered the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) to strip its shelves of American products in response to the tariffs, which were supposed to start Tuesday.
"If President Trump proceeds with tariffs, we won't hesitate to remove American products off LCBO shelves or ban American companies from provincial procurement," Ford said in a statement late Monday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, Ontario PCs had announced a suite of measures to help Ontarians impacted by the tariffs, including a six-month deferral of provincial taxes for Ontario businesses, amounting to roughly $10 billion in cash-flow support.
They had also promised that Ontario would not allow U.S companies to bid on provincial contracts until the tariffs were lifted.
Hours before the tariffs were set to begin, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.
Before the tariffs were temporarily paused, Ford said Musk is "part of the Trump team that wants to destroy families, incomes, destroy businesses," at a news conference in Etobicoke on Monday.
"He wants to take food off the table of people, hard working people, and I'm not going to tolerate it."
Musk, an adviser to Trump, is overseeing the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in co-operation with the president's administration.
Musk responded to Ford's announcement on X, formerly Twitter, a platform that he owns, before Ford reversed his decision to rip up the Starlink deal.
"Oh well," he wrote.
The Starlink contract, signed in November, is meant to provide high-speed internet access through the company's satellite service to 15,000 eligible homes and businesses in rural, remote and northern communities by June of this year.
Earlier in the day, Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner, Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie and NDP Leader Marit Stiles all said the province's contract with Starlink was a bad deal from day one.
Ford defended when it was signed last year, saying there was a transparent bidding process and it was part of the government's plan to get everyone in the province high-speed internet.
In Oshawa, Stiles said a New Democrat plan would provide direct support to the auto industry, "creating new supply chains, and finding new export markets for their goods in Canada and abroad."
Stiles said an NDP government would "play on Team Canada," including a joint income-protection scheme with Ottawa, and "defend each and every single job in this province."
Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie's pitched a "Fight Tariffs Fund" that would give Ontario businesses access to lower interest rates and a promise to scrap "nonsensical" provincial trade barriers.
She also said she'd ensure American companies like Amazon and Starlink are excluded from provincial contracts.
Green Leader Mike Schreiner focused on the housing crisis at an event in Kitchener, saying a protracted trade war with the U.S. will deepen the problem.
In previous statement, the Green Party says it would establish a Buy Ontario strategy and a dedicated fund for businesses hardest hit by tariffs, while working with other provinces to remove interprovincial trade barriers.
(must be nice to have leaders looking out for the citizens)

Quebec holds off on retaliatory measures as Trump pauses U.S. tariff threat CBC
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on tariffs for at least 30 days, and in response, Quebec won't take action — for now.
Premier François Legault said promising tariffs and then suddenly pausing that threat at the last minute hurts Trump's credibility. He said the incertitude has already hurt the economy.
"For now we are happy," he said. "But we have to continue planning for the worst."
He confirmed late Monday afternoon that, for now, Quebec is pausing its retaliatory measures. But the provincial government is planning various ways to hit back.
Earlier Monday, Economy Minister Christine Fréchette floated the idea of a 25 per cent price increase on all calls for tender from the U.S.
"We are going to introduce, nothing more, nothing less, the equivalent of a 25 per cent rate on these submissions," Fréchette said on Radio-Canada's radio show, Tout un matin.
Under this new levy, "there is practically no chance for these companies to qualify," she said.
A spokesperson for Fréchette later said in an email that the move had not been finalized.
The possible levy is part of a broader attempt by the province and Canada as a whole to respond to the United States' looming 25 per cent tariffs.
...
Legault said he and other premiers unanimously support these retaliatory measures, adding that Canada's counter-tariffs would "benefit our companies by 25 per cent."
"We're going to protect ourselves and we're going to fight Mr. Trump," he said.
More than 100,000 jobs will be lost in the province due to the tariffs, according to the premier.
"We have to stand up, we have to fight to protect our economy, to protect our jobs," he told reporters Saturday night.
Earlier, the Quebec government asked the province's liquor board, the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ), to remove all American products from its shelves starting Tuesday. But Legault has since said that also will be paused.
Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante said in a statement she was also exploring options, including imposing a 25 per cent levy similar to Quebec's on calls for tender on city contracts.
"We will be working hand in hand with senior governments and our economic partners in the coming days to respond with strength and determination to this unjustified attack on our economy," Plante said.
Legault said the majority of Quebec's exports go to the U.S., but the province clearly needs to be more diverse with its exports to become less dependant on the U.S. and "we will work on that in the next 30 days," he said Monday.
"We have to be ready for all kinds of scenarios with this guy," he said, referring to Trump.
