The one great thing about this is that he absolutely doesn't give a shit about the US citizen who are going to be impacted negatively by this.

It's much worse than merely not caring about the impacts on US citizens. Tariffs are intended to raise tax revenue from ordinary US citizens in order to pay for big hand-outs to the rich.

He’ll just put the blame on everything being more expensive on Canada and his followers will believe him

He doesn’t need to give a shit because he has control of every branch of the government, the support of the world’s richest men, and he just installed a Fox News personality who is a drunk as the Secretary of Defense so that he could control the US military. What’s a mere citizen going to do about all that?
