Ontario Premier Ford: Trump Tariffs Making Stock Market Go Down Faster Than U.S. Bobsled Team
Breitbart ^ | 03/04/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 03/04/2025 1:46:46 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff on Canada is making the stock market go “downhill faster than the American bobsled team.”

Ford said, “Canadians love Americans. We love the U.S. It’s one person that’s causing these problems. I’ve talked to senators and Congress people and governors, Republicans and Democrats, not one of them agree with him. I’ve talked to business CEOs of the largest companies they totally disagree with us. President Trump ran on a mandate to lower costs, to create more jobs. This is going to do exactly the opposite. The auto sector, we buy over 400% more autos than Mexico, 200% more than anywhere in the world. And you know, he put up a smoke screen. He keeps moving the goalposts. Well, the market is speaking loud and clear. The market is going to go downhill faster than the American bobsled team. And we’re going to continue seeing in the U.S. plants closing, assembly lines shut down. In the auto sector, they may last five, maybe eight, eight days before the parts that go back and forth across the border eight times. This is unnecessary. And we do have to retaliate, and I apologize to the American people. It’s not you; it’s your president who’s causing this problem.”

Does seem Trump is more concerned about Ukraine and the rest of the World than Americans and state of the economy...and he did say 1 day he would bring down prices...if anything they have gone up.

“We love the US”. That should read, we love to take advantage of the US. This bum can take a leap.

"Prices were already falling by Jan 20th."

If you're going to be a shill, at least be consistent. Especially on the same thread on the same site.

The bottom has just begun to fall out. Give it time, and as some traders are saying this AM, we could reach levels not seen since 1928-1935.
