Trump exempts some Canadian imports from 50% tariffs to aid Susan Collins
Susan Collins is falsely claiming she's won tariff exemptions, and media outlets are letting her get away with it. In fact, the admin is swapping some 50% tariffs for other 50% tariffs, as they did when they swapped out road salt. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Jill Piggott15Thanks, Susan Collins! She engineered a tariff swap to help win reelection, & we'll pay new 50% tariffs on shampoo, paper & paperboard, air conditioners, freezers, power hand tools, & more. Multiple types of flooring, carpet, & rugs are hit. #MESen Complete list: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
sassiesmom.bsky.social3Collin’s “falsely claiming” is her entire identity
freakanatcha.bsky.social2Thanks Sue. Now Canadians will have even more US products to boycott!
VanillaRage1Meanwhile, Prime Minister Carney, busy making trade deals with other countries and solidifying partnerships, says he's in no hurry to make a deal with the tangerine moron. He may even choose to wait out this Imbecilic regime... You know, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” 😉
Tony Somogyi 🇺🇦 🇨🇦🇪🇺1Please tell us you’re not going to fall for this BS Maine! Please!!!!
The Trump administration lifted 50% tariffs on products critical to Maine's agricultural industry, giving the Republican Sen. Susan Collins a policy achievement to tout in the final days of her campaign.
zumarider.bsky.social15So voters in Maine are dumb enough to give spineless Susan Collins credit for something? They really can’t see through the bs?
[The Great War & Modern Memory]13Trump will roll them back right after the election. As we all know.
Fabian Donato8Doesn't change a thing about her horrible record.
Suzy 237Right after the election the tariffs will resume. Susan Collins you think she is concerned about that? No
Todd from Canada🇨🇦 5So this provides tax relief to Maine? but I thought the other countries paid the tax? So Trump was bullshitting all this time?
onefinekitty.bsky.social5Hopefully the enlightened in Maine realize that there would be no Tariffs to lift if Trump was not the President & Collins hadn’t supported them.
#MEpolitics: In this case, it’s even worse than the arsonist offering a cup of water to put out the fire. The Trump regime is also *adding* tariffs on other Canadian goods. So this is equivalent to Collins offering water to put out the fire in your kitchen, whilst starting another in your garage.
Shangalar2Her getting these carve outs this close to the election is basically admitting she is responsible for them in the first place.
Slavuji2So, she caved to Troy Jackson, and ran to "daddy" for help. She shows that we can goad her into action. Collins is not any kind of leader. She is a coward.
LumpySpuds1Someone should tell her that she’s one of the 100 people who could have gotten rid of all the tarriffs by taking back to Congress what is rightfully Congress’s, the power to levy taxes. It’s like she’s also preventing the fire dept from helping. The poors must accept only her water.
Rachel Hurley1Great way to put it. Lifting some tariffs while adding others isn't much of a fix.
