Trump to start a trade war with Canada. Puts a 30% tarrif on Canadian Lumber and hates their milk

[Pressure]

There are very few economists, liberal and conservative who think tarrifs are ever a good idea. Obama and Bush backed off of them in short order due to the effects.

The tarrifs that prolonged the depression.

I've been seeing a lot of Make American 1929 Again tweets.

This is the worst way to do it since a lot of his voters are impacted by these tariffs.

Their are some historians and economist who say that the tariff act that you are referencing didn't affect the depression at all. But the situation that we are in now may provide precedent.

Edit; I stand corrected.

I don't think I ever made a thread about it, it was probably discussed but Trump's tariffs on Canadian softwood (N/H) is really hurting newspapers. Wouldn't be surprised if it was on purpose.

Trump has accelerated America decline by 15 years. Before Trump it was believed America would decline completely by the 25-30 years but Trump and the Republican Party with their tax plan and hypermilitarism has pressed the gas on America decline by 15 years. We will see the effects of Trumps idiocy long after he is out of office.
