What Trump’s pledge to redo his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico could mean?

The transnational political alignments have changed considerably since the Trump v.1 administration. Trump ( and faction) is a mercantilist who views tariffs as a mechanism to rebuild, the question is what is being built. The considerable emphasis on electronic components evading regulation is an indication.

Threatening 100% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods unless they help stem illegal immigration and drug flow is laughable. Best case scenario is a formal effort to turn the US military on the cartel activities, while keeping the immigrant labor force.

A privatized-infrastructure, paid for by public taxes[Tariffs R taxes].
This way the dumbed-down-sheeple get to pay twice.
Or; is the inflation-factor adding up to, at least, three times?

And, the beauty is they can sell it to Spain, or Russia, or Cuba, or Angola, Or…?

Call it a globalized-business way; of doing globalized governance.
Is it really Domestic policy?
Or foreign policy?
Or, global policy?

Canada plays for Team Rothschild, because the motherland says so, and the USA plays for team Rockefeller. Trump’s bombastic approach is just Trump being Trump.
He wasn’t the mastermind behind the renegotiated trade deal (USMCA formerly NAFTA) between the USA, Mexico, and Canada but he fully endorsed it. Such deals should be under constant review by all parties involved if they’re not already. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is currently the case and includes a dispute mechanism. Said dispute mechanism was actually quite laughable as both Canada and the USA ignored its ruling in the past when one couldn’t gets its way over the other. His number of $100 billion dollars of American subsidies to Canada is beyond absurd. Annual trade surpluses in either direction don’t come close to that and even those numbers bounce up and down faster than a ‘flea on a hot shovel’ on a yearly basis., assuming such numbers can be trusted in the first place.
“Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink”.
In this instance, I’ve modified that old adage to:
Propaganda everywhere and not a thought to think. But what do I know?

@omnimatter I agree for the most part. Don’t count on the ‘best case scenario’; US Forces will be busy in Europe (east) and The Caspian region. If warranted by Putin, also The Korea Strait.

Currently foreign and future domestic, since the goal here is clearly to erase the nation states and draw down the entire region into a centralized, homogenized, deracinated mess with specific pre-built nodes of control.
