Canadian explanation of Tariffs

[damifino10]

We are so plundered with phony bs, it is hard to tell right from wrong. This gentleman explains it so a 3rd grader can understand.

1. Good explainer, but the key reason Rump is full of crap about how unfair it is, is because he negotiated these tariffs

when he redid NAFTA and turned it into the USMCA-- in his first term!

3. Excellent point! n/t

[NotANeocon]

5. Actually he didn't

It's only usmca in Yankland - sorta like the Gulf of Yankland.

From the Canadian viewpoint he turned it into "CAMUS"

2. Good information

and shows that Trump is omitting information to deceive the public, or proving that he doesn't read or understand facts.

4. If it takes more than 20 seconds to explain

Most people, and especially MAGA types are not going to absorb.

TLDR:
Reality: Nobody is having to pay those high tariffs on dairy goods sold to Canada. Most pay no tariff at all

Slightly longer:
Because the tariffs are only applied if the the amount sold exceeds a quota, and for almost all products, the amount sold is way below those limits.
