Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge 50% US Content

Most cars that you buy in the US have at least 50% of the value produced in the US. WTF 25% tariff on cars . You are going to pay and pay for your folly electing Trump as your president. I sincerely hope that you feel shame for electing Mr. Orange. He is going to cost you jobs, $, a comfortable lifestyle which you have grown accustomed to and it will take a couple generations to get back to where We are. Thanks US citizens for screwing the N. American economy.

Really? You guys let this moron post political stuff in the lounge?

You really should look into what your elected government is doing to you, well unless you are rich and then who cares what happens to others.

I genuinely feel bad for all the people getting laid off or fired who work in the federal government.
For those laid off or fired and who voted for Trump you got what you asked and voted for,.

Oopsy I guess this should have been posted under cone of silence however I was thinking maybe some other republicans might come out of the woodwork and comment. They all seem to have disappeared or worse, died.

That's how politics is, swing hard right then when people are sick of what they're doing, swing hard left. Trump is the lesser of the two evils, Biden let the country get invaded, then was handing out all this aid to them while sending aid to foreign countries .Harris simply doesn't have a clue.
Why doesn't Canada step up to the plate and open up their borders and let all non vetted people in? Set them up with medical benefits, and hotel rooms, and a check every month and treat them BETTER than veterans? NOT SO FRIENDLY NOW EH? How can these politicians, that made low six figures all of a sudden become multiple millionaires in a few years, granted some have other business but one has to wonder

Sure, once a person is employed by the government they are owed a high salary for the rest of their life even if they contribute nothing to the well being of the citizenry. Right? Funny, I don't remember all this bitching when Clinton laid off several hundred thousand government employees. By the way, why is it okay for Canada to have high tariffs on US goods but not the other way around?

There are already tariffs on goods going from Canada to the US. Aluminum (your industry is small and the electricity required is not available)Steel (you could ramp up production a little however many off the mills in the rust belt have closed plus American companies own the largest producer in Hamilton so where is the incentive to invest) Softwood lumber(you can’t cut enough to satisfy the housing industry without cutting down your national forests plus ours is much stronger we let the trees grow for more years before harvesting and it was Biden that applied those tariffs)
The Truth is the trade deficit is not as big as Trump tells people no matter how many times he says it. Why? He never includes services like Microsoft and Netflix those are exports for the US as well.
The US unemployment rate is 4.1% so where do you find employees for those non existing factories certainly not the people buying those $5 mil gold cards that Trump and Lutnick are selling.
If the auto industry collapses we are all done it is so interconnected between our three countries it will take years to restructure plus like the aluminum industry the US does not have the energy to fire up new plants. (AI will be demanding all the extra electricity available)
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail however many this side of the border believe Trumps plan is to kill and absorb Canada.

Maybe you have heard Cleveland Cliffs will be laying off 600 employees soon in Michigan I think they understand what is happening in the demand for steel when the auto industry collapses which is based inn that same state.

No politics or religion on this forum - here's the policy on the Forum page. It couldn't be clearer or simpler:

Lounge
"Off-topic" member discussion. No politics or religion.

How about following the rules? What a concept. In the past, posts like this were deleted. Where are the moderators?

there's like 10 people on this forum anymore, likely no mods or admin...

agreed...

Not sorry! How un Canadian, lol. Hey how else was I going to find out who is actually looking at the web site these days? So move it to the Cone of Silence.

BTW I hope you have lots of cash in your account and not a pile of rusting vehicles in your barn because Trump just screwed all of us.
