I had a family member who genuinely thought Canada was boycotting USA products because of the tariffs and I had to explain to a fully-grown, college-educated adult with MULTIPLE degrees and liberal political views that it wasn’t the tariffs but rather the literal threat to Canada’s sovereignty that got USA on the boycott list. Talk about infuriating.
For me it was both. The tariffs were when it stopped being just rhetoric. I started my boycott as soon as Trump implemented tariffs at the beginning of February (or almost implemented, because he mostly chickened out, if I remember correctly).
And he’s given me plenty of other reasons to continue my boycott since then.
