I am skeptical of tariffs myself, but if Joe Biden had not been a Walking Dead, Do-Nothing president and tried using tariffs as leverage to stem the flow of fentanyl and illegal aliens into this country, I would have been hoping that he succeeded. 

How can any American citizen be opposed to saving lives lost to poisonous drugs and violent criminal aliens?. Why are you so eager to see Trump fail, regardless of his objectives? You never explain why leaving violent criminal illegal aliens alone and ignoring the fentanyl issue associated with an open border is a good thing. Instead, you give us a non-stop Trump hate fest.

Looking at it objectively, which I realize that you can't, face it, Trump blinked.  He stated that there was absolutely nothing that Canada or Mexico could do to avoid the tariffs.  Was he lying?  The markets started to tank and there were warnings that grocery prices and auto prices would increase, so Trump pretty much backed down and them claimed a victory.   Mexico moved 10,000 troops to the border last year at Biden's request, so where is this victory? 

I will give him credit for addressing the drug problem anyway as the Biden administration did very little to curb it.  I don't really understand the emphasis on Canada though, only .2% of the fentanyl seized last year was at the Canadian border.
I can't be objective?  Big Grin Coming from somebody who never criticized Joe Biden during his four-year presidency, I will take that criticism for what it's worth.

You don't understand Trump's threatening Canada with tariffs because you confuse Democrat propaganda with news and you have no need for the truth. If Trump is for it, then you are against it. Reading real news would be a waste of your time.

I have criticized Biden many times, still waiting on any of Trump's klan to do so.  I guess they are scared to speak up like the Politicians and right wing pundits who make fun of him behind his back and then laugh all the way to the bank.   I call things as I see them, not how Fox News or CNN see them.  Trump has a few qualities that help him as President.  He knows how to use a bully pulpit and is very unpredictable, which can work to keep his opponents cautious.  He apparently has charisma which attracts and keeps his minions in line.
More proof that you don't read Trump supporters posts. You repeatedly declined to criticize Mayorkas for opening or southern border and lying to Congress under oath. Cite one specific instance where you criticized Joe Biden in this forum. Did you criticize him about his influence peddling operation? His abuse of the pardon power? His fault to control our border? Lying about not being involved with Hunter's business associates?

I have been very vocal in my criticism of Trump in the past, a fact that you could not possibly missed it you were not so busy with cutting and pasting liberal propaganda. I have not been very critical of Trump so far in his second term because I cannot recall any president in my lifetime who was more impactful during his first couple of weeks in office than Trump has been.

However, I did criticize Trump for speculating on the cause of the recent collision near Reagan Airport in his first public statement about the incident. Granny followed my post with a similar comment. 

Nobody who believes in transparency in government could not be impressed with the level of access Trump has granted to the media. He has already answered more non-scripted questions from the media than Joe Biden did during his entire presidency.
