Traded up before tariffs hit

I bet you're a lot of fun at a social gathering. I was just fooling about as Johnny Ringo said. But in my defense he did say he was trading up due to tariffs.

I was more fun at parties when I drank.

All this pearl clutching about tariffs……anyone ever consider it might be an “art of the deal” tactic?
They haven’t even been deployed and you’re trading in a tractor?

I've been explaining this to my son, who just became aware of politics, and sees everything at only face value

I had that conversation too, yesterday. He said things are already getting worse... I said, point me to exactly what that is. His answer, I don't know, you go look it up. No... See that's not how it works in real life. Maybe with the MSM it does, but not in reality.

He has an excuse, he is 15. Not sure how adults explain their lack of clarity.

Nobody should be too worried, once a president has been elected they don't have to do anything they grandstanded about when campaigning.

I agree. The media works really hard to try to weave gloom and doom into everything Trump says or mischaracterize or take it out of context.

Trump talked to both the presidents of Mexico and Canada about the potential for tariffs if they don't start controlling the border and export of drugs from their countries. Mexico has already stopped a number of migrant caravans and just yesterday made the largest fentanyl bust in Mexico's history. Although you have to question Mexico's timing on that bust.

A lot of Canadians are also looking forward to the possibility of better control at the border. We're getting way too many guns here. Our government is way too easy on crime.
