Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Mexico and Canada If They Don't Stop the Flow of Illegals and Drugs Across the Border

I hope this works.

Why 25%? Why not 100%? Or 200%?

I think I know the answer. If Trump announces such a high tariff penalty that Canada and Mexico don't think he'll actually go through with it -- because it would cause financial and economic disruption inside the US -- then they might call his bluff.

But 25% is a level of tariff Trump would actually impose. It will cause stress, but it wouldn't cause factories to shut down.

So he really could impose it. And Mexico and Canada can't afford to call Trump's bluff, because it's not a bluff.

200% would be a bluff. 25% is a reasonable-but-painful penalty.

Sexually fluid blackface enthusiast and literal Communist bastard Justin Castreaux called Trump to whine that the problem is mostly on the US southern border, so why pick on his highly-frequented ass?

The topic of the call was border security, and Trudeau reportedly emphasized that issues are much worse at the Mexico border.

The threat is having the intended effect:

Biden, meanwhile, is making it easier for illegals to swarm across the border.

Democrats always put foreigners above Americans. They can't help themselves.
