Trump’s Canada Tariff Voted Down, Maple Syrup Stocks Skyrocket

…I assume. I mean, what else does Canada export?

In the biggest coup since this morning when this pigeon just outside my window wouldn’t shut up, six Republicans just turned on President Trump to vote down his tariffs on Canada from last year. 

It probably won’t go through in the end because the senate has to approve it and then Trump himself would need to sign it and he’s recently forgotten how to spell his own name.

So why even bother? Well, it’s basically just a way for these six republicans to say we’re not happy with Trump’s whole deal. It’s probably too little, too late considering that tariffs have become the backbone of Trump’s economic strategy.

Of course, Trump went on the aggressive (defensive?), posting to Truth Social (more racist Twitter), “Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time. TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege.”

Tariff? More like tariffICALLY BAD!

The move also comes as Trump heats up his economic war with Canada after they said they would start trading with China more and build a bridge or something? Idk, I’ve not really been paying attention.

But like with all tariffs, the consumer ends up baring the brunt of the increased cost. As Democrat Gregory Meeks put it, “Not only have these tariffs done immense harm to our relationship with Canada, pushing them closer to China, they have driven up prices here at home.” But then he would say that, wouldn’t he?

We’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out and whether it’s a sign of things to come in the midterms but until then, imma stock up on maple syrup and hockey pucks.
