President-elect Donald Trump said he would impose a tariff on products from Canada and Mexico until they stop flow of drugs, migrant crossings.

Summary

Donald Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, blaming them for failing to stop illegal drugs and immigration.

He also vowed to add a 10% tariff on Chinese goods until drug trafficking into the U.S. ceases.

Economists warn these tariffs could drive up consumer prices and inflation.

While violent crime has declined in recent years, Trump continues to link trade measures to border security and drug issues, echoing his first-term trade policies and immigration stance.

    I hope he does it. I really do. The quickest path to revolution is when people aren’t just vibe struggling, it’s when they’re literally starving because nobody can pay for enough calories to sustain themselves. The faster we get to that point, the faster we can fix all of America’s problems by deposing the oligarchs, rewriting the constitution to restore the guardrails of democracy and restructuring the government and the judiciary to serve the people and not corporations.

    No balls, Trump, you fucking won’t. You’ll pussy out at the last minute or get bullied by another world leader with more gumption than you can muster.
