Trump follows Roy Cohn's three rules:
always attack first and incessantly,
admit nothing and deny everything,
and no matter what happens, always claim victory.
These principles shaped Donald Trump's approach to business and politics.

Fun story. In the early 90s, Coca Cola decided to suddenly close their Newfoundland bottling plant. As a result, the entire East coast of Canada shifted to Pepsi. I was a kid in Quebec back then, and clearly remember thinking Coca Cola was some sort of smaller brand cola because of how Pepsi dominated here.
To this day, Coke is about as easy to find as a Pope turd in Newfoundland.

Because liberals aren't much better than republicans when it comes to representing everyday people. Even though democrats claim to be representing the working man, they mostly try to protect the status quo, because they have to protect capital interests of democratic nobility and their big-money backers. Republicans, on the other hand, always try to change the status quo in their favour. America doesn't have a third party that would represent the working class and would counterbalance republicans, in large part because every time some left-wing politician rises to prominence democrats lose their shit over it (e.g. Hillary vs Bernie in 2016. Btw, she tried to do the same in 2008 against Obama.)

Please remember, Canada and certainly Canadians, do not want any of this.

I hope Americans can understand that Canada feels threatened and painted into a corner. Generations of peaceful coexistence and cooperation and trust - gone.

I saw a post in that dumb subreddit that said that Canada putting tariffs on US goods is an act of war. I can't even.

I know this is a random unrelated comment but I wanted to say that your drawings have gotten really good over the last couple of years. Keep up the good work.

This is clearly a Rump win, but I don't expect someone who doesn't fully and blindly believe then man who managed to bankrupt a casino to know anything about finances or money as a whole.

It really is laughable how incapable he is of considering consequences.

We knew that all the tariffs would cause a huge trade war. Good job America, you know how to fuck it all up.

And I have to love the depiction of Canada. Not Trudeau, not something like a Mountie. Just a random guy in a T-Shirt with our flag plastered over it. A truly genius depiction of our country.

for any Americans who don't like the Tariffs and can afford to do so, buy Canadian and Mexican products anyway and do your best to avoid American-made products that come up that try to replace Canadian or Mexican Products. It'll suck to have to pay more, but if enough people do it, it'll send a message to Economists that people Value our Neighbors more than the President's pride.

The thing is, a lot of American manufacturers will raise their prices, too, just because they can. Prices are based more on what the market will bear than strictly upon input costs. So I don't anticipate the difference between domestic and imported goods will be that large anyway, where comparable products exist.
This is part of why tariffs, especially blanket ones, have fallen out of favor with modern economists: way more downsides than positives.

That's usually what happens with tariffs. The imported goods increase in price due to the tariff, the locally produced increase in price because the local producers can charge up to a little below the tariff price and yet remain competitive.

Fun fact American products will rise to the price of Canadian and Mexican products with the tariff because things don't cost money based on how much they cost to produce.
Hell in this economy it doesn't even matter about demand or supply anymore, just take a look at gas prices. Most supply ever and still expensive

Legitimately this is the conservative MO for pretty much everything. Their while victim complex regarding marginalized groups finally getting equality, all foreign policy for the past 5 decades, basically every economic decision. So they fucking do is fuck things up by being selfish short sighted assholes and then blame the victims for saying "no"

Since the Orange Bastard is only delaying certain (not all) tarriffs for a month, I wonder what would be the result if Canada and Mexico kept their retaliatory tarriffs in effect until the OB enters into a binding agreement for zero tarriffs, or at least compliance with the existing trade agreements that he signed and crowed about when negotiated.

My only criticism of this is that Trump should be puffier. A pouting, puffy, petulant pufferfish of a person. I love your work, Pizzacakecomic. <3

Yep. Seems pretty damn accurate!
Cheetomange's modus operandi is to always keep others off balance and second guessing everything. It's a tactic. That way, he can always sing some other dang tune if it doesn't go his way so that he can look good.
This whole tariff thing is a perfect example of that. He runs off at the mouth. Freaks people out. They do shit. Their choices hurt the US. He kinda sorta back tracks.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
