Trump’s Lies about Canadian Trade
As we all are painfully aware, Trump wrecked the G7 summit by attacking our closest allies, and picked a fight with Canada over trade tariffs. On top of all that? Trump’s reasons to attack Canada is 100% based on lies. Steve Rattner was on MoJoe this morning and talked about the idiocy of Trump’s tariffs. Here are the facts:
We don’t have a trade deficit, we have a trade surplus with Canada. Also, Canada’s tariffs are the LOWEST in the developed world. Third, Canada’s tariff on dairy is a tiny piece of trade between the two countries. Lastly, since Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber, price IN THE US have increased 27%.
You can watch it here. It’s very informative, even with Joe S. interrupting Rattner every 15 seconds which is his most irritating habit.
Dump is wrecking the western economies and alienating our closest allies because he has convinced himself that the U.S. is being victimized. I wonder who put that idea in his head? Perhaps the country which stands to gain from western instability, Russia. Everything Dump does seems to follow a game plan setup to benefit his puppetmaster.
1If this isn’t proof that he needs to be removed from office immediately due to national security offenses, violation of the emoluments law and treason (there is a cyber war going on)
I don’t know what is. We cannot believe a word that comes out of his big mouth.
3 words:
Velshi and Ruhle…
2Coming from a Canadian family, and also being reasonably sane, I can say without compromise that the whole thing on trade with Canada was built on a jackstraw pile of lies by someone who has a ferociously insecure personality. I know. I know. I could have said all that in about 3 words but I had to promise my family that I would not go all out. They had their reasons, and of course, I did not want to offend Momma. My family is so serious about this that when I am asked about the Golden Gibbon and why I did not vote for him I say the following: He didn’t have the resume I was looking for and he didn’t have the million dollar Rolodex. This confuses people long enough for me to make my getaway. And I still hope with all my might that ai can still visit my Canadian family some day.
3PM Trudeau gave Donnie a nicely framed pic of the Drumpf family’s first whorehouse. What did Kim Jong Un give him? An autographed menu, perhaps.
Meanwhile Kim got the few months needed to repair his nuclear program after the set back of blowing through the side of the mountain and annoying China with nuclear fallout. Yet Donnie propagates the lie that he’s the reason there have been no missile tests lately. They lost their launch pad, you ***king moron.
4One of the many columnists expressing horror over this moron said that he is ruining America’s international standing for decades to come. How can any country trust us when a jackwagon like him could become president in the next election?
5Think long game. Trump totally trashes USA’s economy. Trump and cronies pick up a ton of assets for fire-sale prices – using Russian money. Everyone wins – except the American public.
6The fact that we have a trade surplus with Canada is all the more remarkable because Canada has 1/10th the population we do. Based on relative population, you’d expect lots of purchases by the USA from Canada and fewer sales.
7No, no, no, EJ. The reasons Trump GAVE were lies.
The REASON he p-o’d the G-6 was that he wanted to look tough before he flew to Singapore and fawned and slobbered over Kim and gave away the store.
8pres Animal Shithole lied? Ho hum. So what else is new?
The only noteworthy accomplishment he has is setting an untouchable record for lying. 6.5 every day. That’s more than SIX PUBLIC LIES in a mere 24 hours.
One of his lies was in response to a question about the summit. What if Kim didn’t actually do anything he said he’d do? “I’ll make up something.”
9Yeah, really. He said that, smirking all the way.
hey Debbo — Trump said, “I’ll make up something.” He actually told the truth about something? OMG, what’s the date?
