Cans will go up, both for canned groceries and soft drinks and the price of cars, depending upon how much crosses the border repeatedly for various processing, potentially as high as a 400% increase, realistically, at least nearly doubling in price. Gonna kill Detroit.
Frankly, can't think of an industry that isn't gonna get punished badly.
Even my old Army unit, 56 SBCT is due 300 Stryker combat vehicles, which are made in Canada, due for arrival and oops, subject to tariff. So much for defense spending! Last contract was for $712.3 million for 300 vehicles, that's $890,375,000 because he was so stupid that he didn't bake in a DoD or general government exemption.
Way to go, Stinkie!

@alisonwilson9749 had one commercial client, they used a lot of aluminum and occasionally steel frames for the strength, durability and rigidity (for the steel on certain specialized jobs). Don't know the specifics though, I was the IT guy.
Did hear something about rare times using steel mesh, most of the time though it was polyester mesh.
Dunno, that stuff's magic to me, my wife was the artist, I only was half decent with wet on wet oils. Well, that and drafting with pen and pencil, which I always chuckled at, as my standing truism is that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

I can use read-only to copy from now until the aurochs come home and they're the extinct ancestors of cattle.
Among my many careers, I'm also a senior systems and IT security admin.
Read to buffer, dump buffer to that with which I am authorized to write to and if console, you're totally screwed, as I can redirect console to anywhere I want to.
Hell, because I was bored, a couple of weeks ago, I encrypted a life filesystem on the fly and am using it right now, fully encrypted to "military grade" which is basically industry standard, as that was released to the public ages ago when AES first came out. My random number generator being my home built radiation spectrometer. I don't build something complex for a single reason. Especially when it cost my cheap ass a whopping $40 in parts and two hours of labor time assembling and calibrating it.
Oh, thank you, CERN for the design!

@JustTooDamnHonest well, Hitler killed himself, cyanide and shot himself before the cyanide could start to work.
Now, Mussolini, what happened to him was epic.
Ran off to escape to Switzerland, hoping to fly then to Spain, was captured by communists, summarily shot the next day, body dumped in a plaza in Milan and a crowd hung him up by his heels, stoned, spat upon and beat upon the corpse.
I suspect that those folks didn't like him very much.
Hitler's corpse was exhumed by the Russians, identity was confirmed and the body cremated, the ashes tossed.

Your medical information is protected by HIPAA, the PII is protected under the Privacy Act of 1974, which has a very sharp set of teeth.
Did a quick calculation just on fines for the Privacy Act violations for every US citizen, $1.705×10¹². That's quite the stack of pennies! And five years hard time for each offense, when counts computer records acts and a few other acts that should've protected all of our data before President Musk instructed the god-king to rescind the US Constitution and all of our laws.
I say, everyone stay home from work for a week or so, the campaign contributors will raise merry hell with the Representatives and Senators they bought and paid for and eventually insist that they surrender to We The People, lest the economy completely evaporate. Rather than some idiots, who think that their dinky AR's and AK's would win against armor, gunships, bombers, drones and artillery.

One small, but critical problem with your argument.
Before he could charge Biden with his mythical charges, he'd have to charge himself.
Trump negotiated the withdrawal, timing it for when Biden took office and refused to allow any planning or staging for said withdrawal.
As for treason, I royally piss them off by showing them the Constitutional definition, one unique in the world, of what treason is and explain that one cannot give aid and comfort to an enemy when one is absent an enemy, as Congress has not declared war on any nation and hence, there can be no enemy in the eyes of the law and Constitution. Regardless of what the division of hate out of the ministry of love says.
As for commies, yeah, more times than I can count, I've been denounced with the proud and well educated and thought out accusation, "your a commie". An odd take on my quite capitalistic income, which typically exceeded the speaker's sub-minimum wage income.
Marxism, there is one form of Marxism I am endeared to, Groucho Marxism. ;)
Alas, can't walk around with a cigar, does really nasty things to my blood pressure when I try to smoke the thing. Pity, I do enjoy a good cigar, just don't like the nosebleeds by the literal pint and the expansion of an aortic aneurysm.
Oh, for those unfamiliar with the US Constitution...
Constitution's Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 defines treason. Very, very narrowly and precisely, because such a charge was so heavily abused by the British Empire in its holy wars against other Christian sects.
