Don’t get too excited. Ford loves to talk tough but he’s a fucking pussy.

We’ll see what actually happens. No one here is holding their breath.

Trump said Monday that “vast amounts of fentanyl got poured into our country” largely through Mexico and from China, and he encouraged car manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. to avoid the upcoming tariffs.

If the media actually did their jobs, they would add the context that the US seized all of 20kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year. This claim is, according to the US government’s own numbers, absolute bullshit.

They would also note that in order to enact these tariffs without involving Congress he has to invoke a “national emergency”, which is the only reason why he’s suddenly all about stopping fentanyl.

This stuff is all a show. He’s a smart man who understands that by slowly doling out small changes he can appear progressive on the broader world stage, which shields his government from international criticism.
