BREAKING: SH*TTY MOVE! Donald Trump’s idiotic trade war with Canada is threatening to drive up the price of TOILET PAPER for Americans – as they HIT BACK at his tariffs!For some reason, Donald Trump says it’s time to “teach Canada” a lesson. Americans may end up paying for it every time they go to the bathroom.Trump’s escalation of his trade war with our northern neighbor could see toilet paper prices DOUBLE since Canada supplies the States with the vast majority of finished paper products AND the raw materials for American firms to need to make them.Canada’s justified clapback in retaliatory tariffs of up to 50 percent on nearly 900 American products beginning next month – and toilet paper tops the list!Americans have already been hit once. Procter & Gamble, which makes Charmin, said last year that Trump’s earlier tariffs forced the company to raise prices on paper products by more than a quarter.Much of the toilet paper sold in the States is manufactured here, but American paper companies rely heavily on Canadian pulp and other raw materials. The United States also imported $328 million worth of finished toilet paper from Canada in 2024, more than from any other country. One international estimate found that Americans are the biggest toilet paper users in the world, burning through more than 141 rolls per person every year. [If that sounds crazy to you, it does to us too. But the study with the data is behind a paywall, so just go with it, OK? -Ed.] In light of all this, Trump seems determined to make matters worse, this morning calling Canada “one of the worst countries in the world to deal with ” in a phone interview. The billionaire Trump insists the US can just do without Canadian products, notwithstanding “a little inconvenience,” righteously declaring: “It’s time to teach Canada. You can’t do this anymore.”Trump wanted to wipe the floor with Canada. Instead, his trade war could leave Americans wondering what the hell they’re supposed to wipe with. Where’s that Sears catalog?
Most of the toilet paper used by people in the USA is made in the USA, next!

Please read the article againYou missed something when you read it the 1st time!

What does this have to do with a potential price increase with toilet paper-the subject at hand here?Deflection yet againThis is as bad and Andrew saying his Canadian speech with taking your shoes off at the door when going into a house.
Rainman, 99% of your posts are about some minor issue with the Administration. ie toilet paperSurely you don't mind if I post some positive actions to do with very important issues.
I'm sure P&G, KC and Cascade will be happy to ramp up their domestic production. Just like they did during when COVID hit.
Why don't you stick that toilet paper up your fat ass crybaby!!!
I tried for you!Thanks for a polite response unlike someone else here.
I did come back and read the 2nd paragraph. My advice is, if you're concerned, stock up now.
