That's just what popped into my mind too.. We can stop the whole process and spend the money for something else

His children who wants to be in the will? Tariff!!!

Iron Dome-like defence system is going to be a very expensive with very little return.
US's border is Canada in the north, Mexico in the south and oceans on its sides, Canada and Mexico wouldn't fire any weapons towards US because they're economically tied.
So the only case where Iron Dome-like system is useful is with missiles over the ocean where everyone can see it coming and have time to shoot it down.
Of course this can be useful if US thinks that the enemy will create satellites that can fire missiles

If Canada is inside the dome, Canadians can lob anything across the border
If they annex Canada, it makes it easier for Canadians lob things over "any" fence

Just agree to things and don't do them.
If we can't trust whatever Trump says, we can do that too. It would be hard to control things on the ground. They can complain to the higher ups and the higher ups can yell at the subordinates while patting them on the back

Another article about a pair of border town. https://www.pressherald.com/2025/02/09/a-maine-border-town-finds-itself-on-the-front-line-of-a-looming-trade-war/

If Europe is not part of the talks, then Europe should not supply any more military support to Ukraine and let US fund everything.

put tariffs on high value appliances such as Laundry Machines; Dryers and TVs. We can import them from Mexico and Asia directly

Canada can make sure that Democrats win the election from then on

US should pay for it

It'd be nice to know what they are

Bury a toy skeleton under the snow nearby and when the snow melts...

Eventually America will get bored and vacate the land, so the logical choice for an ally to take over is Israel

The ones who are in power will never want to relinquish it while they have it because they do not want to lose it.
It gets harder if the major parties are fighting each other

Couldn't happen to a "better" man

Canada should keep imposing the Tariffs until March.
Trump didn't expect Canada to hit back, so he is unprepared for the fallout. If Canada also pauses until March, Trump will use the time to prepare and he'll reimpose the Tariffs in march

That would also give Trump time to find alternative markets to prepare to reimpose the tariffs

All U.S. federal government websites are already archived by the End of Term Web Archive
hopefully it's there, if not try asking in r/datahoarder or r/datasets

Philipines should try to convince Trump to take over the country.
There will be quite entertaining reactions if they can convince Trump to say it
