Meme #Canada #tariffs #US #Trump
Meme: (Text) Incapable of learning. Trump tariffs punish farmers. (Text) Next up, tariffs on Canadian fertilizer raising costs and food prices. (Image) A political cartoon from 2017 by Loujie of Cagle Cartoons. Trump swinging a baseball bat labeled tariffs, accidentally striking a farmer in the head. (Background) Trump, during his first term, toyed a bit with tariffs, the result being US farmers were unable to sell there crops and had to be subsidized. The exact same thing has happened during his second term, and now he’s threatening to tariff Canadian fertilizer. This will make it most costly for farmers which in turn will raise food prices.

Meme #Canada #tariffs #US #Trump
Meme: (Text) Senate Republicans voted to end the national emergency justifying tariffs on Canada. (Image) Deadpool shocked. (Background) Senate Republicans sent President Donald Trump a "symbolic" rebuke on Wed, Oct 29, by voting to end the national emergency he declared in February, justifying his increase in tariffs on Canadian goods. The Post described the vote as "symbolic" because it still needs to be passed by the House of Representatives, where similar attempts to rein in Trump's ability to impose tariffs have been blocked. Trump initially imposed the tariffs under the auspice that Canada wasn't doing enough to stop the inflow of fentanyl into the U.S. through its borders, a claim which has since been shown to be ridiculous.
