You think that's disproportionate? Imposing a tariff in response to nothing at all is disproportionate.

On a percentage basis, it's merely a finite response to an infinite action. That doesn't seem unfair to me.

Don't expect your enemy to play by your rules when you're the one who made them an enemy.

One of the things you said is correct, and it's not the claim he wants to increase GDP.

I'm not canadian, but my understanding is that this is beyond just the tariff. It is in addition of the general attitude and (lack of) diplomacy from the US government towards Canada for the past few weeks.

White House Press Secretary said the quiet part loud when she announced that Canada can stop this tariff business by agreeing to become the 51st state.

The problem with this administration is that you can't tell if they are 1) fools (resources != profitable resource extraction) 2) on drugs (elon's pupils during his oval office press conf) 3) hilariously corrupt ( zeroing out IRS, SEC enforcement) 4) captive by insane ideologies (the neo-nazis they willingly associate with, trump's strange pro-russia views) 5) all of the above
