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.
building manufactuering plants takes years, and it probably wont happen anyways, because the high cost of importing materials, and paying much higer wages.

This was actually new news to me, and I watch the news every night. Thanks for sharing this!
I was imagining scenarios where people were free-basing maple syrup or something.

Hmm, maybe Trump could do something to reduce the cost of importing materials from other countries to help this along?

Only about 1% of fentanyl in the US comes across the Canadian border. Where is his rage and attention for the sources of the other 99%
Ah yes, manufactured rage to bypass regular checks and balances and do whatever he wants.
Are you not? I guess, if you’ve never had Canadian maple syrup I understand
What do you call that thing where they pour syrup on ice and then roll a stick in it? I had that once. It’s kinda like drugs.
Maple Taffy
Actually all kidding aside, I’ve always wanted to try a real Canadian maple syrup, but the supermarkets near me never seem to sell that stuff.
I’m planning on making a trip to Canada to be a tourist at some point, and if I do I’ll be sure to hook myself up.

If you like maple syrup, go to Bulk Barn and grab a bulk bag of maple candy. Thank me later.
Thanks! I’ll be sure to check it out.
I tried going to their web site, but my browser is telling me there’s a security issue with it (“Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER”).
They’re a legit place?

Heh, they’re a legit place but I’ve only been there in person. I didn’t even know they had a website
You can get those maple candies everywhere. They’re absolutely delicious.
Thanks.
The media is doing their job. It’s just that their job is to normalize fascist rhetoric.
its called sanewashing, all of the MSMs have been doing this with trump.
The majority of America doesn’t listen to things that don’t reaffirm their beliefs.
If a news outlet doesn’t tell the people what they want to hear, another news outlet will.
Well said! Exposing truth through the US propaganda lies.
It’s too bad 90% of the people meant to read this statement won’t because they’re being lied to. :/
Trump can go choke on a bag of dicks.
