I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

I think it already is.
But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made.
