Let all Canadian Companies that are doing business with America move to the United States, immediately. Many of them are Companies that moved out years ago due to stupid U.S. Leadership. When you move back, there are no TARIFFS! President DONALD J. TRUMP
But wait! There's more! Another more recent "truth" posting today:

For many years, the USA has been losing more than 60 Billion Dollars a year with Canada. Why??? Our long ago stolen businesses are now coming back to America in order to avoid paying tariffs. They are lining up, just like the rest of the World!!! President DJT
He seriously thinks a trade deficit with Canada means Canada is ripping off the USA.
Make it make sense.
Lies, lies , lies
But... He just put even more tariffs. Is he still not aware of how tariffs work?
Absolutely not!
He is saying companies should move manufacturing to the US to avoid those tariffs.
But the companies selling those goods don't pay the tariffs, so how does going to the US avoid tariffs? It would stop the importers/consumers from paying the tariffs, right? Plus, he's waged tariff wars on every fucking country on the planet. Manufacturing anything in the US would mean paying more tariffs for any material a company would import.
Your goods are less competitive if they're tariffed, do you really need me to explain this or are you just pretending not to understand?
So the effects of the tariff, not the tariff itself.
Correct. Except when writing for legal and scientific purposes, most people are imprecise with language and you have to infer what they actually meant. This is a completely normal part of communication, though it comes more naturally for neurotypicals.
Trump assuming that the world revolves around the U.S. (and by extension him) is symbolic of the dangerously nationalistic mentality that fuels his far-right base.
His assumption is that everyone has to do business with the US. It ignores that we can do business with each other, and there are many more of us than there are Americans. It is what Xinnie the Pooh et al. realized ~25 years ago.
E.G. If Canada makes its own cars, that is a 15.5 billion dollar market the US loses.
Trump seems to be still angry with nasty Canada. Renaming Lake Ontario wasn't enough for him.
When you have such small hands, there is no end to the compensation required.
It's funny, he claims to be 6 foot 3 inches or some shit, and 235 pound or something, (300 in truth,) and his real height is like 5 foot ten or less. Maybe he shrunk some as old people do, but he's been lying about his weight and height for a very long time. Because he's a vain bitch. But that's one of his better qualities. Fucking die already bitch seriously. Just fucking die prez, we all hate you. Your name will be torn down from everywhere, and synonymous with gangsters and graft and corruption.
i would love that. he'd be the first genocidal American leader to not get posthumously lionized
when the competent fascists come (after the next Obama-style bipartisan guy), and me and all the people i care about are forced in a long line, when I'm standing in that long line waiting to die, soldiers flanking us, even I'm probably going to miss Donald J Trump and his stupid decisions and his ineffectual, childish leadership style, and inability to comprehend what people round him are saying and doing, and I'll laugh to myself that so many people, apprentice fans and WWE fans and movie enjoyers and plain old dummies thought he should be president.
