Not what he’s talking about. He’s still lying and whining, but not saying what you (or the headline) imply he’s saying.
He’s saying that the pre-existing tariffs on out of quota dairy products are “cheating US farmers”. Which is not true. The body of the article explains this correctly and in good detail, but the headline sucks and nobody ever reads past the headline because we all have brain rot as a species.
I wonder if a good Fedi alternative to Reddit would do something like force the link to be previewed in full or opened before getting to respond to the aggregation. Or maybe all social media was a mistake and none of it should exist, I don’t know.
And let me be clear, I’m not attacking you here, this is a sytemic issue. Every human is subject to these patterns. Blame our collective wetware.
I don’t read past headlines because news websites are cluttered with ads and mandatory requests of my data and are basically unreadable most of the times.
Canada is following the trade deal that Trump signed into law in 2018, as it pertains to what Trump is confusedly crying about.
Part of that deal is that if the US exports too much dairy products to Canada, beyond an agreed upon volume, a higher tariff rate kicks in for that excess.
This isn’t even happening, because the US has not exceeded that export limit.
…
So… if by ‘cheating’, Trump means that the deal is being broken… no, it isn’t.
If by ‘cheating’, Trump means that the terms of the deal are fundamentally unfair … it was Trump’s fucking deal after he blew up NAFTA! … so Trump is then saying his own trade deal is fundamentally unfair to America, despite massively hyping it up as awesome during his first term.
He consistently attempts to renegotiate deals when he’s in a worse position than when the original deal occurred. He’s the sort of idiot that thinks position is posturing, lying, and cheating and not the reality of trust, what you can and will do for them, and what you can and will do to them.

Social media definitely was a mistake, but at least on the fediverse it’s our mistake!

The even shorter version:

Yep.
He’s a corrupt, criminal bully.
His idea of negotiation is bullying.
