OK so now Trump is threatening Ireland with tariffs and mocking them as well. This guy is either an idiot or he's an agent for China. China is trying to build this new silk road promoting world trade while Trump is running around like a belligerent idiot offending and pissing off all these other countries pushing them to join BRICS. He's doing China a favor.
Right after Trump rags on Ireland, China visits Ireland and provides them a polite alternative. Trump's like a door to door vacuum salesman that comes to your door and says f*ck you. Buy this vacuum or I'll rob your house. What's the logical response to that? A slammed door and no sale. Trump may be good at hostile takeovers and forced mergers but he's turning out to be a horrible salesman.
I think Canada should trade with Ireland. They have things we want. Ireland lost Waterford Crystal because of the EU. Waterford Crystal isn't made in Waterford any more it's made by scabs in Europe. I think we should buy Waterford Crystal made in Waterford. They have the world's best glass cutters sitting there unemployed.
Ireland doesn't have a huge population so we might buy more things from them then we sell them but that was the whole point behind the Silk road. Explorers would find all this cool stuff and trade with them to bring some of the cool stuff home.
They have things we want to buy and we don't need a backward government to tax everything under the sun to make our life more expensive.
In contrast to that, Donald Trump is also talking about lowering corporate taxes like Ireland has done. That he can do and would make sense. Ireland offers a low corporate tax rate and as a result many big tech companies have moved there creating lots of tax paying jobs. So by lowering corporate tax, they increased their tax revenue. When you raise taxes like California is doing, businesses leave and go somewhere else. Then you have less tax revenue then before you raised taxes.
