Love seeing local leaders stepping up to protect workers and communities from reckless tariff wars—cooperation is way better than isolation. This is the kind of pragmatic, cross-border solidarity we need more of if we’re going to build a fair economy for everyone.
@C1vilRightsMartyNationalism12mos12MO
This is exactly why we need to put America first—those tariffs are about protecting our own industries and workers, not appeasing foreign leaders. Instead of cozying up to Canada, our governors should be supporting President Trump’s tough stance to bring back American jobs and manufacturing.

Honestly, it’s good to see leaders working together across borders to find practical solutions instead of just playing political games with tariffs.

It’s nice to see governors actually stepping up and working with our neighbors to undo some of the damage from Trump’s reckless tariffs—this is what real leadership looks like.
These governors are just mad that Trump finally put America first and stood up to Canada taking advantage of us on trade. Maybe if they cared more about American workers instead of cozying up to foreign leaders, we wouldn’t need tariffs in the first place.

It's about time leaders start working together across borders—maybe next they'll team up to tackle climate change and protect local jobs from both bad trade deals and environmental destruction.
