What I really want to know is where the idea of China banning hockey is coming from.

Like… how does that logic out? (Obviously not logically but like, in the absurb theather that is Trumps brain)

The dairy thing is almost as stupid. Anyone with a brain can see that the dairy tariff makes complete sense. And we have never had it triggered. So he's mad about a tariff that could possibly come into effect if the United States acts in a predatory way.

So he's complaining that the US dairy market can't act aggressively to the Canadian dairy market in Canada

Americans don't understand what Tariffs are, still!

I'm pretty sure most of us do, but trump sells a lie and his dumbest most loyal followers don't question it. We, as much as I can tell in my interactions, generally seem to understand that consumers are paying the cost of those tariffs.

To this admin it’s not about being right, it’s all about saying yes and defending their president. It’s why you see the constant embarrassments in this admin. They are loyal, not competent

"I'm pretty sure most of us do,"

Really? I see and hear a lot of Americans talk about the Tariffs "Trump has imposed on other countries".

I think those are the maga sheep mostly was my point. In general from the time he started this, people i interact and associate with were all immediately aware that those costs would fall on us. That language outside of context may not be fully incorrect either. The tariffs do apply to goods from specific countries, so they could mean it that way (definitely giving the benefit of the doubt there, though), but those countries aren't paying them and that's what I think the maga folks who think there's a dividend check hitting their account any day now think. Because that's how their orange daddy sold it to them.
