Letter from Sherwood Guernsey

Whose Side Is Trump On?

Trump imposes 25 percent new tariffs on our nearest neighbors and allies, Canada and Mexico. Really?? Canada has helped us fight fires, fight wars, and died with us, worked with us on immigration…and Trump punishes them, and US!

The result: higher prices on practically everything you buy (because he also applied tariffs on China, where practically everything comes from).

And then, guess what: He starts a trade war. Naturally, as sovereign nations, Canada and Mexico fight back: Canada and Mexico put their own tariffs on our goods and prohibit sales of certain items to us, which will push prices higher.

What is he thinking? Why make us suffer?

Remember Trump promised to lower prices, not raise them!

Who doesn’t suffer: his billionaire buddies.

One more for billionaires; zero for you and me.

  1. You are missing the trade of manufactured goods and services which pass across our shared board. US has been open to Canadian goods, Canada has been closed to our goods making a staggering in-balance in Canada’s favor. Trump aims for FAIR trade. The tariff stance will lead to fairness. Just watch.
