Bazzing!! Straight up question that should have a logical answer. LIke why raise drug prices after Biden took them down? I will tell you why. Because trump did that out of spite for no reason. Usually sore losing children stomp their feet and do stuff like that. If that can not be seen I usually think something is wrong with the looker.
I will be waiting for a more logical answer from some of our intelligent posters. I am willing to bet my explanation is correct. But I will listen to a more logical and intelligent reason for tarrifs and how that helps the US in the long run. But I won't hold my breath.
Logically any move can be analyzed and discussed. But deflection has become a tool of the people that really have no thoughts.

The TLDW is that companies pass the cost of tariffs onto consumers. So me, and you. Americans are paying the tariffs

"The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said."
So the Nazi has the personal data of all federal employees now? That's cool I guess
Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say
Officials affected by the move can still log on and access email but can no longer see the massive datasets that cover the federal workforce.www.usatoday.com
Wait I thought the republicans were against tech billionaires sinking their claws into government and collecting info on us?
they were. until they weren't.

I can't wait until the Canada tariffs drive up the price of homes and gas. Will we be winning then?

Youll definitely be w(h)inning
I wonder how fast the US economy will go into the shitter. I'll put money on 8 months
I posted them all here earlier in the post I made about Elon's family
Here there are again in case you don't see them:
Elon Musk’s Anti-Semitic, Apartheid-Loving Grandfather
The billionaire has described his grandfather as a risk-taking adventurer. A closer read of history reveals something much darker.www.theatlantic.com
Like Father Like Son: Elon Musk's Dad Has Secret Second Kid With Stepdaughter
Elon Musk's father Errol revealed that he had a second child with his stepdaughter Jana — and explained why he'd have more kids.www.rollingstone.com

You actually believe this crap??
This is an example of how someone can use disparate sources of information to build a case that looks convincing, but isn't actually real. Conspiracy theorists do this all the time.
This is all circumstantial evidence. The one thing you're missing is Musk actually saying or showing incontrovertible evidence that he's a neo-Nazi.

(edit) I realize that this is an old episode. I thought it was worth watching again now that deportations have begun.

His own family members made the statements including himself and his father. The newspaper article of his grandfather being an apartheid lover is literally in public archives. You seem to just be denying reality at this point
I guess doing a sig heil publicly on top of public statements from him and his family isn't enough for you, nothing will be
I suppose him speaking at the German AfD where they sig heiled Elon was just a mistake too right
It would be interesting if Canada whacked massive export duties on energy exports to the US (including crude oil and electricity). I doubt they'll do it, but the dose of realpolitik may be instructive to Trump's myopic grasp of value.

So Trump got 10,000 Mexican troops to the border and we didn't have to do anything ?
