What's going to happen to our car market? A lot of Canadian cars get shipped down to the states. I guess that will stop and bring down used car prices?

I don't think it's things purchased from Canada, it's things manufactured in Canada purchased new.
I can't know though, cause the person implementing them doesn't even know what they are, so my assumptions aren't exactly based on anything tangible.

NA built cars have no duty; every other car incurs a 2.5% duty when exported to the US. It’ll be interesting to see if Trump increases this duty and removes the exemption for NAbuilt cars.

i'm surprised no has mentioned Trumps crypto coin he launched on friday

made him and his family and friends a TON of money

68style 01-20-2025 06:48 AM

Yup, sitting president literally scamming the voting public with Ponzi scheme…. Wild.

They launched the Melania meme coin on Sunday too but it bombed hard.

whitev70r 01-20-2025 08:04 AM

So apparently ... rumour is that there will be no tariffs on Canadian goods on day 1.

Just caught it on the part where he was taking the oath, 'promise to protect the Constitution of the United States, so help me God'. What a joke ... :lol. Melania is in her funeral garb.

Edit ...

Wow, his first speech after the ceremony, with Biden and Harris right behind him !! How are people not disgusted or afraid of this megomaniac in that office ??!! I swear, this is what I think Hitler would sound like in 2025.

GLOW 01-20-2025 08:19 AM

celeb crypto, meme coins, etc... aren't they all pump and dump scams?
just like the hawk tua bit coin that crashed in under 24hrs but made her (or someone) over $50m?

whitev70r 01-20-2025 08:41 AM

All this win win win, put a man on Mars, conquer the world BS and they can't even get the music to cue on the right time for Carrie Underwood ... :lol.

well here we go.. NO TARIFFS... all the worries...
declare winning all day long is Trump's tactics..

Trump will not impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, or China right away. Instead, he plans to direct agencies to investigate trade deficits and unfair trade practices, according to Reuters.
then again, he might change his mind in the next 10 mins. LOL

Trump Plans to Sign 'Close to 100' Executive Orders - and then turns out 10 only.

Then we got Biden pardoning 5 of his family members.

“My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics,” he said in his last statement as president. “Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”

Mr. Biden’s action pardoned James B. Biden, his brother; Sara Jones Biden, James’s wife; Valerie Biden Owens, Mr. Biden’s sister; John T. Owens, Ms. Owens’s husband; and Francis W. Biden, Mr. Biden’s brother.

The White House announced the pardons with less than 20 minutes left in Mr. Biden’s presidency.

N.V.M. 01-20-2025 08:47 AM

what a fucking comeback story. wow, never said quit, once.

blkgsr 01-20-2025 09:00 AM

ya hopefully she goes to jail

pastarocket 01-20-2025 09:59 AM

I would have done what sleepy Joe did with his pardons for five family members and these individuals:

Clemency for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.


https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/polit...ons/index.html

Orange Goblin does not bluff. His ongoing rhetoric about getting revenge on people who accuse him of inciting violence against politicians, police, and other people on January 6, 2021 is a big sign that he would go after people.

As per the article, Biden clearly mentions that the pardons do not denote guilt.

It's this crazy U.S. political climate that we see now where Trump would use his presidential powers to get revenge on people that made Biden decide to give pre-emptive pardons for his family and other people.

68style 01-20-2025 10:53 AM

^ What you mean he doesn't bluff? HIs entire speech walked back a million bluffs he made in the last month.

He's just a giant deflating set of bagpipes in people form, complete with the sad sounding farting note that accompanies it.

I mean "not bluff" in the sense that Cheeto would use the U.S. Department of Justice as a weapon to get revenge against people. He won't bluff on that.

You're referring to political and policy promises.

For example, when Trudeau said that he thinks that Cheeto's repeated referral of Canada as the "51st state" is a diversion tactic, a smokescreen from Cheeto in order to bring less focus on his tariffs on Canadian goods. -less focus on the tariffs that will eventually increase the prices of goods that Americans buy. Well, I call his bluff on the U.S. trying to annex Canada.
That's Cheeto's playbook play of diverting American voters' attention away from tariffs.

Harvey Specter 01-20-2025 11:24 AM

Lmao, he's already backing away from his "25% tariffs" on day one BS...

Quote:

President Donald Trump is expected to outline the America First trade policy for his second term in an executive action.

But that move — described by sources as a “placeholder” — won’t institute new global tariffs that Trump has promised would raise trillions of dollars.

Trump’s economic team has been meeting regularly to chart a path to implement the steep, sweeping tariffs on allies and adversaries alike that the president promised on the campaign trail.

Among some alternative ideas proposed: Smaller tariffs that grow in amount over time, or tariffs that don’t take effect for several months, giving the administration time to get counterparties to the negotiating table.

Market-minded officials like Scott Bessent and Kevin Hassett have advocated for a softer approach, while tariff champions such as Peter Navarro and Howard Lutnick have argued the full bore is needed to send the message Trump wants.

Trump, for his part, has been calling allies on Capitol Hill to shore up support for tariffs. But the specific policy has yet to be decided.

god he's so awkward he can't even do the nazi salute without looking like a weirdo

I heard on local news, citynews1130, that Trump's tariff policy would be a phased in approach over a week ago.

-did not think that he would put an immediate 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports.

Cheeto is like a snakes oil salesman from the wild West days. -promises healing for every illness, then backs off on the "benefits" of "snake oil". :lawl:

He is a walking fraud. The very definition of a con man. Liar, liar, orange pants on fire.

So much for God...

“President Donald Trump did not place his hand on the Bible as he took the oath of office during his inauguration on Monday,” ABC News reports.

“First lady Melania Trump stood next to the president holding two Bibles, but the 47th president of the United States didn’t place his hand on either as he raised his right hand to take the presidential oath, which Chief Justice John Roberts issued.”

CivicBlues 01-20-2025 12:56 PM

lol, is there a picture of this? Just trying to picture waifish Melania holding out two massive bibles with her dainty little arms like "You pick ok?" all the while Trump just ignores her.

Love how all his fans are just defending him as awkward and nerdy... yah okay sure, he's definitely those things... but considering how much he's been called a nazi supporter and coming from a family of historical nazi sympathizers, you think he'd have that right arm on lockdown if he didn't want to perpetuate a supposedly unfair stereotype?

I mean, if he was in some Germanic countries he'd literally be arrested for this.

He's literally donating money to Neo Nazi parties.

whitev70r 01-20-2025 02:18 PM

Melania was freaky ... couldn't see her eyes with that hat, looked like she was attending a funeral, maybe she was, perhaps she didn't want people to see her crying.
