On the 6th of August 2020, the lame-duck president of the United States announced a 10% tariff on Canadian aluminum. AGAIN! This man is not only a mad king, but he is also a demagogue who will do anything to show how tough he is, so tough that he craps on the best friend the USA has in the world — Canada.

The stupidity of this move is that IT COSTS AMERICANS MORE FOR ANY PRODUCT THEY BUY THAT HAS ALUMINUM IN IT. That’s how stupid and ill-informed Trump is. The 10% tariff is added on and paid for by Americans.

His motives are as clear as glass. He is catering to the voters in Ohio. Aluminum is a major industry in this state. Coincidently, no Republican president has ever been elected who has not won the state of Ohio in the US elections.

Trump sees himself as a tough guy. He admires dictators such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Bashar Al-Assad. And even Kim Jong Il if the truth be known. Trump has even mused on staying on as president for more than two terms, inflicting himself on the people against the will of the people just like the despots he admires.
