Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada cease...
Do bananas come from Canada 🤔
No, but strawberries are produced in Mexico and banana are grown in southern Mexico. Not so much about importing veggies from Canada, but we do import a LOT of veggies from our southern neighbor. Just go to your local grocery store and see where the veggies were produced. Usually in Mexico or Central America. If those governments don't get on board with Trump's plan then that is one group of products that will go up in price for the average American consumer. Heck, just go to Walmart's seafood section and look at where it is imported from. The fish will begin to go up in price too if those countries are not careful. I don't think Trump is playing around and if these countries don't want to play ball then Americans could become pissed because they'll have to pay $1 for a pound of bananas instead of fifty cents a pound.
Bananas are the least of my concern. I eat maybe 5-10 per year. If they go from 19c a pop to 49c it will cost me an $2-3 bucks in my yearly budget. I’ll eat that collateral damage if it gets me my country back.
I agree with your sentiments 100% completely. I happen to work in the meat and produce departments of Walmart and I see how pissed folks get when the prices jump a few cents overnight. Imagine when it begins to hit 25%-50% and the companies have no recourse but to raise the prices because of the tariffs. In liberal towns those idiots will begin picketing Walmart for price gouging instead of being thankful that Trump is crushing the deep state. Tards will tard and blind people who love liberalism will never see true freedom. As an employee I just don't want to hear from the customers that the price increases are Trump's fault. It's Communism's fault because if Mexico and the rest of Latin America were capitalistic then we wouldn't have to enforce tariffs. I'll be glad when we take over America and get it back to where our founders wanted it.
