I\u2019m picking up more details about Trump\u2019s trade war with Canada. One bit I didn\u2019t notice right away is that Trump\u2019s 50 percent tariffs don\u2019t go into effect until January 1. He\u2019s hoping for another shot at subjugating Canada, I take it. But the retaliatory tariffs Canada is putting on U.S. imports begin September 8. Prime Minister Carney is looking to mess with the midterms, obviously. Trump can\u2019t think more than a half step ahead of anything and no doubt never anticipated Canada could<\/em> mess with the midterms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

In recent days, Trump has announced plans for\u00a0tariff relief<\/a>\u00a0on some\u00a0ground beef imports<\/a>, enraging\u00a0cattle producers<\/a>\u00a0in states such as Iowa and Nebraska, and launched a\u00a0new trade war<\/a>\u00a0with Canada, rattling manufacturers and businesses in border states including Maine, Michigan, Alaska and Ohio. Those states are all Senate battlegrounds crucial to Democrats\u2019 strategy to retake the chamber.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Guardian is reporting that the U.S. is about to face surging toilet paper prices<\/a>, but of course that\u2019s just the beginning. The economies of the U.S. and Canada are intertwined in multiple ways, and I\u2019m not sure where the damage is going to show up first. I understand auto parts manufacturing in particular is integrated between the two countries and will likely get messed up. Very likely Trump doesn\u2019t comprehend this.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not sure Trump\u2019s cabinet is much brighter than Trump is. The Guardian is reporting that the administration is certain that U.S. consumers won\u2019t be affected by the trade war. That means we\u2019re doomed, folks.<\/p>\n

The New York Times has put together a long article about the negotiations<\/a> that places a lot of the blame on Utterly Useless Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick \u2014 UUCS is his full, official title, IMO \u2014\u00a0 but of course it\u2019s Trump\u2019s vision of totally dominating North America that is the basic theme here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of the midterms, Trump has decided that the best way to help Republicans win is to make the midterms all about him<\/em>. See Trump Plans to Buy Midterm Ads About His Own Record<\/a> at The Atlantic. Yes, he\u2019s going to make ads touting his accomplishments in office and run them all over the country to help Republican candidates. The candidates are not entirely thrilled.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s lawyers are also threatening to tear down the Kennedy Center<\/a> if courts don\u2019t let Trump go ahead with a massive renovation of the building that would include having his name engraved on the building. I\u2019m waiting for the Kennedy family to get involved here.<\/p>\n

See also Paul Krugman, Der Untergang<\/a>. Basically Krugman is saying that as it sinks into Trump that he is losing his grip on power, he will try to destroy as much as possible before he leaves.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
