Wait until you see the prices in the supermarket and gas station next week.
Will he hold a news conference showing the prices of food, gasoline/diesel, and lumber since he took office?

Just got gas $2.69 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why do you dislike the President that stands up and makes other nations pay their fair share when it comes to international initiatives.
Of course everyone hated him in Europe when he called out NATO countries for living off the backs of American military power.  Guess what.   That shit is expensive and once he forced them to, our NATO allies have started to increase their commitment.  If pushing people to do what they agreed to all along gets you hated, so be it.

And all the tax credits you talk about for Tesla, were given because governments had convinced themselves and their citizens that EV's were needed to save the world from burning up by 2030.  The government needed Tesla more than Tesla needed the government.

*****   What 'regulatory credits' are — and why they're so important

In a push to reduce carbon emissions, *** governments*** around the world have introduced incentives for automakers to develop electric vehicles in return for credits.
As Tesla only sells electric cars, it receives these credits for free and can sell them at a huge profit to other automakers who can't meet regulatory requirements.  ******
Our idiot governments created this windfall for Tesla because they wanted to rush, promote and pay for the rapid introduction of a product that wasn't even needed.  You make it sound like Tesla made up the regulations.

This is the first Administration move that I don't like.
Is it still about the lack of effort by Canada and Mexico in securing their borders with the USA?
If yes, hopefully there are clear expectations made, they are immediately put in place and these tariffs can end as quickly as they started.

Here is the rest of the story. During Trump's first term, he put tariffs on China. China was/is dumping goods in the US at low cost because they can work people to deaths and maybe even use children. Some of those products are critical like drugs used in surgery. When Biden took office he reversed many thing Trump did but not the tariffs on China. In fact Biden raised some of them. The result is that imports from China fell. What happened next was China started routing those products through Mexico and Canada. That is why Trump is doing what he is doing. The government of China has a sinister agenda. For some reason people ignore that.

Shark Tank's and Montreal's own Kevin O'Leary wants Trudeau bad. And he has Trump's ear...get rid of Trudeau and liberals leadership and let conservatism and investment once more in Canada again. For weeks, O'Leary's been blasting Trudeau and Trump agrees and his mission..short term Canada pain, leading to April election..

If anyone hasn't filled up their car with fuel, and gone grocery shopping lately,
I went grocery shopping 4 weeks ago at Pete's Market and the lady in front of my paid $ 255.00 for a basket of groceries.

your blaming trump for the price of eggs even tough he has been in office for one week ?
wouldn't the guy before him be to blame ?

however lets see where things stand in a month or so not just for eggs but for gas etc
He did say prices would come down day 1.So did he lie or just know about the bird flu?

It's going to take President Trump a while to fix the problems created by Biden and Harris. We are on our way of having a great country again thank you President Trump!
Not to be confused with HAKU.
