Trump’s Canada Rant is Worsening

The Bulwark channel breaks it down very nicely. Trump is losing it. He continues to repeat falsehoods.

Like….

  1. The USA is subsidizing Canada. False. The USA buys Canadian goods and pays Canada for them. What, are we supposed to give these to the USA for free? When Trump is talking a subsidy of $200B he is referring to the trade deficit which is wrong on two counts. First, it’s not a subsidy. Second, it’s not $200B, it’s $63B according to The Office of the United States Trade Representative (you know, A USA GOVERNMENT SITE!!!) https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/americas/canada As usual, Trump can’t get the basic fact correct. If he can’t do that how can we expect him to do the job of President? Exactly. We can’t!!!!
  2. The USA doesn’t need Canadian cards, Canadian trees, Canadian energy. THEN STOP BUYING IT TRUMP! We’re not twisting your arm. For fucks sakes, this is our problem that you buy Canadian stuff? Get a brain, ya dope!
  3. That Canadians are the worst at negotiations. Huh? I don’t even know how to answer this one. Let’s see…..Canadians go to the negotiation table to discuss trade with the USA delegation, details are worked through to arrive at an agreement, and then both sides sign the agreement. What does one expect beyond this? Trump – You signed the USMCA agreement! Are you a dumb ass for doing so? Is that what you are saying? If so, I agree that you’re a dumb ass but not for USMCA but in general. Probably the biggest dummy in politics today.
