Biden dropped several thousand Haitian immigrants into Springfield Ohio.
Trump wanted to bring attention and alarm to that.

That many immigrants dropped on one town that size is going to alarm a lot of people.
It doesn't have to be exaggerated.

But Trump wanted to be certain that alarms went off, so he had them eating dogs and cats.
Everybody is aghast and runs and clutches their cat. And for a period of days, the news is nothing but barbequed dogs and cats in Ohio.

The tariffs are early in the negotiations, and all sorts of things may get said about aluminum and other things.
They'll have to go on for a while before real priorities come into focus.

And one of em may be aluminum.

Categories will get nuanced. The US GDP is several times bigger than Canada. A arbitrary reciprocal tariff may destroy a small Canadian Industry at no advantage to the US, so it gets carved out.

I dont know how much Bauxite or aluminum that the US has, but if they arent gonna ship whatever is here to Canada anyway, then that would seem a pointless tariff coming our way.

Donny starts the fire, and then the fire trucks follow. I think that it will be a while before info gets back to us.
