Tim Walz Yells ‘TARIFFS’ in a Crowded Theater – No One Runs

Things aren’t going the Democrats’ way at all when it comes to Trump actions, their reactions, and what the action is on the ground.

Remember all that howling about Trump and the price of eggs?

I do.

It was the drone of the week a while back. It still pops up every now and then when Dems and progs forget what they’re programmed to say any particular week. 

‘Eggs’ is super easy for timy brains.

…The Borg dutifully bang away, introducing and employing it in every conversation or written piece regardless or whether it’s applicable to the moment or even legitimate to begin with.

Last week, the theme was ‘THE PRICE OF EGGS.’

Democrats and toadies were on a mission to make sure you heard about eggs everywhere, that you knew they were expensive, and it was all Donald Trump’s fault.

What a yolk.

 Yeah. Hair on fire stuff.

Holy smokes! $8.49 a carton!?!!! Remember when Donald Trump promised he’d lower grocery prices and the cost of living? I guess he’s been too busy dismantling the federal government and compromising our national security to get to it.

Haven’t heard anything from them this week about TRUMP! EGGS!

Can’t imagine why not.

Egg prices are now down over 30% since their peak a week ago and are even lower than during Christmas under Joe Biden. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) had breathlessly complained about egg prices. Now he and the Democrats are silent.

Sort of the same thing is happening in noisier Democratic quarters about the tariff blustering going back and forth across the border. Blowhards on both sides are trying to make hay about Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff threats as the president tries to whip our lazy and non-reciprocal neighbors into shape.

Nobody blows harder than former Democratic vice-presidential candidate Minnesota governor Tim Walz, except maybe his former run…D’OH! Not going there. Don’t you even think it.

Just kidding, JUST KIDDING.

*looks around for management*

Anyway, what had Tampon Tim’s fat little fingers flying on X was a threat from the equally loquacious but seemingly somewhat more accomplished Premier of Ontario, Canada, Doug Ford (the druggie’s brother).

In response to Trump’s tariffs, he had himself a hissy fit yesterday and issued this edict.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a 25% surcharge on electricity from Ontario going to the U.S. will go into effect starting Monday—the latest and potentially most harmful retaliatory measure from Canada’s largest province in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, even as Trump pauses some of the levies.

That surcharge would primarily affect Minnesota, Michigan, and New York, which are the three biggest states tied into that network importing go-juice from Ontario.

Cue Tampon’s Tim’s entirely predictable, perfectly timed spazz attack.

Well, Walz put his chickens ahead of his eleggtricity and has egg on his face not just once, but twice.

The ‘skyrocketing electric bill’ he warns about, because of Trump.

Yeah. Not so much. For a couple of reasons, but mostly because MN only gets a minuscule amount of Ontario power at any given time.

1%

This translates to not so much of an effect on a bill for anyone who can do rudimentary #mathz. Democrats cannot do this.

DERP

To put this into perspective, the tariff on Ontario power used by Minnesota would increase a person’s $150.00 electric bill $1.88.

A buckeightyeight on an average bill.

So much for Walz’s hyperbole on that aspect of Trump’s ‘billionaire’ economy.

The other problem with jumping the gun is not waiting to see what Trump does when a blowhard blows at him.

Trump saw Ford’s electricity tariff move this morning, capped by the threat to shut off power to the US completely…and raised it.

Trump doubled the 25% US tariffs on aluminum and steel.

Try to threaten the American people, will you, Ontario Man?

@PressSec: As for the tariffs, @POTUS made his position quite clear… it was a retaliatory statement due to the escalation of rhetoric that we’ve seen out of Ontario, Canada. The president saw the premier, Doug Ford, make an egregious comment, threatening to shut down electricity for the American people.

Things will get pricey fast, unlike the $1.88 per utility bill in MN.

Due to Ontario Premier Doug Ford placing a 25% tariff on electricity sent over the border to the USA, President Trump is retaliating by raising tariffs on steel and aluminum effective tomorrow. April 2nd the tariffs on cars produced in Canada will become so high that it effectively shuts down auto manufacturing in Canada.

…April 2nd the tariffs on cars produced in Canada will become so high that it effectively shuts down auto manufacturing in Canada.

Ontario Man swiftly reconsidered and now will be more amenable to American concerns.

Doug Ford may be the biggest retard in Canadian politics. He’s basically torched American investment in Ontario for the next four years. The smartest Canadian politician is that Bloc Quebecois guy who said “you know WE’RE completely dependent on the U.S., right?”

NEVER MIND

 President Donald Trump ‘s threat on Tuesday to double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada led the provincial government of Ontario to suspend its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the United States.

As a result, the White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said the U.S. president pulled back on his doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs, even as the federal government still plans to place a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports starting Wednesday.

The drama on Tuesday delivered a win for Trump but also amplified concerns about tariffs that have roiled the stock market and stirred recession risks. Tuesday’s escalation and cooling in the ongoing trade war between the United States and Canada only compounded the rising sense of uncertainty of how Trump’s tariff hikes will affect the economies of both countries.

EGGZACTLY

   

You think after fifty-some-odd whole days of watching Trump work his magic, they’d know to stifle it for a bit to see what happened when the smoke cleared.

I mean, you’d THINK.

I know, I know.

DON’T TALK CRAZY TALK.
