Stop buying American goods after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico

Not one for boycotting anything (unless in rare circumstances such as the Afrikaaner Musk's racist South africa during apartheid) but a few of those would be easy.

Netflix, US tv, social media (including tiktok from China) and Amazon, rarely if ever use/consume any of those. Social media (platform for fake lives) has contributed zero to society except worsening mental health of young people (to echo Stephen Fry I'd ban it if I could). Haven't watched anything from US tv since I was a child (even Friends was shite). And online have usually ordered direct from a company or better still go to the actual shop (recently ordered a bike from Halfords, then collect at the store).

South Africa not America.

Oops missed the S off!
South America, not Spain Donald 🙄

Did he really think Spain was part of BRIC - Good grief! Is there no end to his stupidity?!
BRIC, as I found out recently, stands for
Brazil, Russia,India,China
.
With regard to sanctioning - Russia seem to have managed quite well with replicating KFC, McDonalds - it can be done if there is the will for it.

Not a bad shout that.

Arguably even worse given that tens of millions endorse his views given they elected him (not that the fast tracked, imposter Harris was any better).

The big, orange, insincere, atheist, racist, silver spoon reared chancer is capable of anything as he has legions of exceptionally backward, gullible followers.

I would be interested if they do. They seem to be pretty good at avoiding tax, and I don't have a problem of them employing people and giving them health insurance etc.

Stop using Google, MS,Amazon,Netflix etc, etc etc they pour
billions of $ into the US

Oh this guy again. Just ignore.

The tune is British, but the lyrics written by a slave owning tyrant (francis scott key) who excoriated the slaves (in the no longer sung 3rd verse) for fleeing the plantations of washington et al. to join the British to gain their freedom should be booed regardless.

It's always surreal seeing a black person sing it (Whitney Houston once did). It's a slap in the face to their freedom seeking black ancestors.

I have been watching some content about tariffs and the way that Trump is using them.

Putting tariffs on foreign imports only hurts the US consumer, because its the importers that pay the tariffs which they then pass on to the consumer, not the place where the goods are sent from.

So in theory if they chuck a 20% tax on everything that comes from the Canada arbitrairly, it will be the consumers in the US that will pay the extra cost.As Canada produces the power that the northern US uses and they don't have the infrastructure (and land required) to compete with Canada then it drives up the price for US consumers only. If Canada chooses keeps their tariffs low, the US trade will want to trade with them because the demand will still be high as the cost to Canadians will be low.

I was thinking about coffee. The only place in the US that can grow coffee is Hawai'i. In 2023 they produces USD42.3million. The coffee market in the US is worth USD4.8billion. So if they slap a tariff on imports from Colombia/Brazil then the people paying for increase that is US Citizens. There are no other markets that can provide this much coffee so again it adds a cost only to US customers.

I wonder if that is how he is going to hang on to power. Bleed them dry, make them hate their neighbours so they worry so much about their day to day they don't pay attention to him becoming a dictator. Scary stuff.

I think most of their sweets are repackaged fake stuff presumably manufactured somewhere a lot cheaper than the USA.

Cleaning cabinets is what each term president does and maybe Biden didn’t make such an obvious front page decisions he did the same thing. Drump is just so verbal outspoken you actually know what he means. Biden is has been and has been for at least 2 years and we’ve seen some mighty old people promblems. He was becoming embarrassing.

They really are for the betterment for our country. They’re are way to many cronies going here so like every president they get the led out. For some reason for trump is a huge massive no no where it’s a common knowledge occurrence. Happens every new president.

He’s trying to write a wrong that’s been going on since the senile old man has been in office controlled like a puppet. His wife was the worst. She was the other women btw. I know you guys get how bad that is. She stole him from his first wife

I think the general thought here is that the US is a wonderful place, as are its inhabitants - but Trump and his current actions are not.

I’d rather live here than any other place in the world. America is an awesome place to live. You can live your dreams if you want to. You just have to work for it. America is a beautiful continent. The beaches and mountains are breathtaking. I’m sorry you people hate us but that’s how I read about how you feel about us. I’m definitely denying hen doos, never ever ever happened in the USA. Sorry. So ick

Only bc it’s been revealed

Nah, he’s just smart.

The pan don’t buy anything bc china owns everything

Nope, china, tik tok anyone. You tube.
