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.
What a small, vindictive, fragile man.
Old man yells at developed nation from his shithole.
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.
In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.
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.
He is the author of "The Art of the Deal"...
He will draw a deal that isn't implemented with his sharpie.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Didn't he sign a new NAFTA in his last term anyway? What is he even griping aboot?
Oh, you haven’t heard, then?
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.
Canada: shrug
Whoa whoa whoa, let's not get all worked up aboot it.
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
