Yesterday, Trumpypants imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China of 10-25% while telling companies if they want to not pay the tariffs they should move their companies to the US.
At the same time though, US companies that export goods to those countries now have to pay counter-tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China have retaliated with in protest of Trumps tariffs.
So i guess trumpypants wants US exporters to stop exporting THEIR goods out of the US and only sell their products to Americans. As a result, the stock market has started to kill the stock prices of US exporters since they have now lost about 90% of their market since Europe is now considering tariffs on US companies, too.
So what exactly is trumpypants doing here? He's making Americans pay higher prices for imported goods, and making exported goods more expensive to export which will likely drive world consumers to cheaper non-US companies.
Does any of this make sense to anyone?????
