Summary

In a virtual speech at the World Economic Forum, Trump suggested Canada could become a U.S. state to avoid his proposed tariffs on imports.

The remark elicited gasps from the audience.

Trump claimed the U.S. does not need Canadian lumber, energy, or vehicles, vastly overstating the trade deficit between the two nations.

He reiterated his intention to impose tariffs, potentially as high as 25%, on imports from Canada and Mexico starting February 1.

Economists warn such tariffs would raise prices for U.S. consumers.

    Sorry, but Kahneman1-mind, imprint->reaction mind, including all ideology/prejudice/“religion”,

    CANNOT solve the problem that Kahneman1-mind created.

    Einstein got that right: a different level of mind is required to dismantle the problems created with a particular level of mind.

    Cultivating automatic-prejudice against MAGA cult members just polarizes things even more.

    Only Kahneman2-mind, considered-reasoning, CAN counter ideology’s highjacking-of-the-entire-planet-for-its-tantrum, that it’s working-up-to, this decade.
