US President Donald Trump has today announced massive new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium, while threatening to “shut down” its car industry and saying the best way to end the trade war was for Washington’s ally to be absorbed into the US.

    If the tariffs are increasing on steel and aluminum… where is the metal going to come from?

    This has moved into the US government being a protection racket; you can buy the materials you need, but only if you pay Trump a 50% cut.

    It seems like the goal is to remove all taxes on the rich and the corporations and pay for government through tariffs.
