Well shows your limitation of knowledge...the tariff is for soft wood only. The US has it's own soft wood production or had before Canada flooded the market with it's own wood. Trump is trying to make it so that US companies get back into producing Soft Wood again...

Also, soft wood is used currently for house building, and other projects of the sort... to give a house better bones it would be better to use hard woods, but right now the cost is too expensive compared to the soft wood allowed in the US now... that is about to change. Personally I would prefer harder woods as a foundation for US houses, they wouldn't be cookie cutter houses any more, they may last more than 50 years without buckling, but meh... what do I know.
...and you think that raising the price by 20% is going to help US companies 'get back into producing soft wood'? The producers will produce the hell out of it, but how much does a new house cost next year?

Embrace the irony. Target #1 for trade protection is Canada. That's fucking hilarious.

It's cool though, cause he gives good words, you know?

https://apnews.com/c810d7de280a47e88848b0ac74690c83
AP: You did put out though, as a candidate, you put out a 100-day plan. Do you feel like you should be held accountable to that plan?

TRUMP: Somebody, yeah, somebody put out the concept of a hundred-day plan. But yeah. Well, I'm mostly there on most items. Go over the items, and I'll talk to you ...

(Crosstalk.)

TRUMP: But things change. There has to be flexibility. Let me give you an example. President Xi, we have a, like, a really great relationship. For me to call him a currency manipulator and then say, "By the way, I'd like you to solve the North Korean problem," doesn't work. So you have to have a certain flexibility, Number One. Number Two, from the time I took office till now, you know, it's a very exact thing. It's not like generalities. Do you want a Coke or anything?

AP: I'm OK, thank you. No. ...

TRUMP: But President Xi, from the time I took office, he has not, they have not been currency manipulators. Because there's a certain respect because he knew I would do something or whatever. But more importantly than him not being a currency manipulator the bigger picture, bigger than even currency manipulation, if he's helping us with North Korea, with nuclear and all of the things that go along with it, who would call, what am I going to do, say, "By the way, would you help us with North Korea? And also, you're a currency manipulator." It doesn't work that way.

AP: Right.

TRUMP: And the media, some of them get it, in all fairness. But you know some of them either don't get it, in which case they're very stupid people, or they just don't want to say it. You know because of a couple of them said, "He didn't call them a currency manipulator." Well, for two reasons. Number One, he's not, since my time. You know, very specific formula. You would think it's like generalities, it's not. They have — they've actually — their currency's gone up. So it's a very, very specific formula. And I said, "How badly have they been," ... they said, "Since you got to office they have not manipulated their currency." That's Number One, but much more important, they are working with us on North Korea. Now maybe that'll work out or maybe it won't. Can you imagine? ...

AP: So in terms of the 100-day plan that you did put out during the campaign, do you feel, though, that people should hold you accountable to this in terms of judging success?

TRUMP: No, because much of the foundation's been laid. Things came up. I'll give you an example. I didn't put Supreme Court judge on the 100 (day) plan, and I got a Supreme Court judge.

AP: I think it's on there.

TRUMP: I don't know. ...
I don't know wtf I'm talking about- you want a Coke or anything?

Canada was sending over soft wood while benefiting from subsidies... oh a side note, almost 10K jobs were lose since 2008 because of these bad trade deals...

How is a Canadian subsidy part of a Trade Deal? Are you referring to NAFTA, or just 'whatever-I-think-a-trade-deal-involves'?

I don't know man. You made a good argument, but Grump was being a smug jackalope. That counts for something, right?

Well shit, man, this is exactly what we've been doing for 20 years with corn. Subsidized it WAY below the cost of production.

So question for the military guys. Reports everywhere about what Trump said to Sgt. 1st Class Alvaro Barrientos when he gave him a purple heart. Dude lost his leg in Afghanistan.

Is it appropriate to congratulate a soldier for getting a purple heart?

According to pool reports, Trump kept his remarks brief. "When I heard about this I wanted to do it myself. So congratulations," Trump said. "Tremendous."

Don't think so. It's not like winning a race or something. Gratitude and respect are more appropriate.

(Actually I thought this was discussed earlier, but that was another occasion with Trump and medals.)

It's appropriate to congratulate any soldier for their service.

I recall that Trump said in one interview that his personal Vietnam was avoided STD's when younger after his "military service" in the Private boarding school. (Should be mentioned that the interview was with Howard Stern years before any political ambitions of Trump.)

And look at how many farms have gone out from under them. This needs to stop. We also need to stop using food as fuel for cars.
