Juno News - Are Trump's tariffs backfiring on him？

00:00:00.000 I live in an ultra-conservative writing, and I have weekly book club meetings with my

00:00:06.000 neighbors, and I was surprised at how many of my neighbors don't like Trump.

00:00:10.460 It truly shocked me, and I think what his latest salvo really soured a lot of people.

00:00:15.740 They probably did like Trump in the beginning, but some people truly were shocked by Trump

00:00:23.480 attacking us so viciously in the last little while.

00:00:27.300 Yeah, I can sort of relate to that as well, because I like Trump and I find him hilarious.

00:00:31.520 I don't think he gets enough credit for just being like entertaining and funny.

00:00:34.780 And I think that the team that he's assembled is really good.

00:00:37.220 I love the Make America Healthy Again movement.

00:00:39.140 And there's so much about it that I really like, but I have not liked this.

00:00:41.920 Like, I don't think that a tear for against your closest friend and ally is a good strategy.

00:00:45.640 I don't think that calling Canada the 51st state and repeating the Governor Trudeau thing,

00:00:50.040 even though it is kind of funny, but it's just so unhelpful to Canadian politics

00:00:53.620 because it has just completely changed the entire conversation in Canada.

00:00:59.360 It's frustrating that an external force that we used to think was for good

00:01:04.320 has derailed our politics so much.

00:01:06.600 And finally, the thing I liked about Trump was that I felt like

00:01:09.000 we were going to have a golden age and that it was going to be

00:01:10.940 this like booming economy.

00:01:12.080 We're finally going to get like the roaring 20s

00:01:14.140 that we were waiting for after COVID.

00:01:16.000 And yet, because of this whole tariff thing,

00:01:18.560 I mean, the stock market is just in an absolute free fall.

00:01:20.860 and it doesn't really feel like we're like anybody's winning at this point his own citizens

00:01:26.140 and his own advisors are telling him that hey donald like whoa whoa whoa i mean you know yeah

00:01:30.980 to your point candace i think uh last i looked the american market had lost 4.5 trillion dollars

00:01:37.200 in market cap that's that's that's a big number

00:01:39.800 Thank you.
