The message from the current administration is clear: the rest of the world, and half the US are considered adversaries. Do everything you can to reduce interactions and/or dependence on the US. The administration cannot be trusted.
- ty6853 2y agoThis may sound a bit nuts but I honestly think Trump is doing this because immigration, foreign policy, and commander in chief are the three areas where he has nearly dictatorial powers, so he simply chose to turn those cranks because those were the ones available. If you look at how he is turning the cranks it doesn't make sense, virtually no modern economic thought supports this kind of tariff and customs war with friendly Canada. It seems like a child playing at the wheel of a car with no idea how to drive but by God you will hear him honking that horn.

Yeah, it's discouraging that it too is now gone. But if someone wants to be mad at Trump, just be mad at Trump. They don't need to suddenly pretend to care about Derby Line to have a legitimate gripe about Trump.
