Trump says he's "terminating all discussions on trade with Canada, effective immediately"
Trump says he's "terminating all discussions on trade with Canada, effective immediately"
President Trump said he'll let Canada know what their tariff rate on exports to the U.S. will be soon.
Don’t worry he’ll have a plan in two weeks
A concept of a plan.
Obama could have gotten a deal. Sucks Trump can’t get a deal.
Obama should just call Canada and lay out the new trade deal, and insist that Canada refer to it as "Obama's Trade Deal".
If trump refuses to sign it, America loses. If he does sign, he's signing something called Obamas Trade Deal.
America loses
That's exactly what trump wants.
A bag of big macs congealing on his desk, a victim of sex trafficking in his bed and some news on tv that will make putin happy.
Or even if Trump comes up with some deal that's barely acceptable by Canada, Canada should still insist it be called Obama's Trade Deal or no agreement.
He is the author of "The Art of the Deal"...
He will draw a deal that isn't implemented with his sharpie.
He didn't even really write that book, the other author did almost all the work
Ehh....whatever. TACO is going to TACO. It's all a pathetic shell game to boast his ego. And it's a bonus for him if it gets the news cycle to move on from the story about the Canadian national who died in ICE custody.
Exactly. This is just an attempt to redirect focus away from the other Canada/US news story. It’s Disney making a movie called Frozen, so when people google “Disney Frozen” there aren’t a ton of “Walt Disney’s head is cryogenically frozen under the castle” news articles. It’s Boris Johnson saying he likes to paint miniature bus models, so when people google “Boris Johnson Bus” they don’t get articles about his Brexit bus.
It’s called the Dead Cat Maneuver. If you’re publicly losing an argument, throw a dead cat on the table. Suddenly, everyone is talking about the dead cat, instead of the argument you were losing.
hes been using this manuever constantly, to distract from the protests, his parade+ the shootings, and before that it was distraction from the BBB and tariffs, both of these are his main goals. same thing they did in 2017, the tax cuts were distracted by the stupid NN bill, the MSM are all on board for this, because the conservative ceos all need these distractions.
In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.
Haha yeah. I had started to write the sentence about him boasting about his deal making skills, but it felt clunky so I changed it. Clearly I didn't catch that I hadn't changed it to boost, but your right, somehow it works.
Good. The perfect reminder for Canadians to ditch America's economy and join Europe's instead. Just in time as people were beginning to forget.
So he’s making sure all his rich buddies know he’s going to pump and dump the stock market again?
It's fucking market manipulation again, isn't it? He'll probably downplay it early next week then not talk about the topic again
Probably not. Markets are closed.
I hope CA tells DT to get fucked eh!
From California. Can confirm.
Yawn, this old asshole is so damned tiring.
Old man yells at developed nation from his shithole.
Yeah, we started an unprovoked trade war with them, threatened to annex their country, and murdered one of their citizens in our Gestapo detention facilities. No wonder they're being, "difficult."
What a small, vindictive, fragile man.
Canada: shrug
Whoa whoa whoa, let's not get all worked up aboot it.
Ok. Cheers mate!
Didn't he sign a new NAFTA in his last term anyway? What is he even griping aboot?
Oh, you haven’t heard, then?
Translation: Canada terminates trade talks with tanTrump, and loserbaby says it was his idea.
Shit like this is why I diversified into metals, commodities, real estate, international, etc. I have like 5% treasuries now, I can’t ever see myself buying them again. Still have a lot of USD for when the shitcunt traitor does dick moves like this.
Art of the deal babaaayyy
"Art of the deal!" "4d chess"
