Tariffs have never worked in modern times. Look at GwB did with the steel tariffs, horrible failure.
So, is 43 pounds of fentanyl worth roughly $31M in street terms. Trump put tariffs that lead to retaliatory measures costing $7.5B, so that's ~$175M per pound that was seized in 2023. So basically he paid 240x the market rate if these tariffs stop all fentanyl.
Masterful gambit Mr. President! Those dumb lefties are so emotional and can't quantify what an extreme win this is!
Fucking brain dead to support this. Of course the Canadian dollar is tanking, the US dwarfs the Canadian economy exponentially, but spending 240x the cost should be something rational people would take issue with but I know IE MAGA can't and won't say that.
Fentanyl analogs are illicit—and often deadly—alterations of the medically prescribed drug fentanyl. The analogs have similar chemical structure, and they mimic the pharmacological effects of the original drug.
