    These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition

    “And only I’m allowed to do that”, he continued.

    It’s always projection with this imbecile. At least we always know what he’s up to, because he blatantly accuses other people of whatever he’s thinking.

    “These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture,” he continued. “Our Great U.S. Dairy Farmers deserve fair treatment from Canada. Enjoy it while you can!”

    The bastard cries about “unfair policies” that use tariffs to protect a country’s industry and yet in his own Steel and Aluminum tariffs declaration he stated:

    “To allow U.S. aluminum producers to restart production and to incentivize new capacity, additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions and increasing the tariff rate.”

    Literal toddler tantrums.

      This is Trump trying to tell his MAGA moron farmers that he’s fighting for them when he’s actually fucked them with these tariffs. US is THE largest agriculture exporters in the world. When the retaliatory tariffs come, his base is going to hurt because of him, they know it, he knows it, so he’s trying to change the narrative.

    All is fair in love and war. If you did not want to fight as though it were a war, then it would have been better not to send over a declaration of war.

    Trump basically tried to play Rochambeau, said “I go first”, kicked himself in the balls, then had Canada and Mexico take their turn, and it’s now whining like a little bitch that his tiny balls hurt and saying it’s not fair.

      Trump is so stupid. He has to be nothing but a distraction for a background political mastermind. How could someone this idiotic have won an election?
