Trump terminates all U.S. trade negotiations with Canada over Reagan tariffs TV ad
KEY POINTS
Donald Trump said he had terminated all U.S. trade negotiations with Canada.
Trump said he was doing so because of an allegedly “fake” advertisement that Canada was airing that features former President Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.
Doug Ford, the premier of the Ontario province in Canada, recently said the province would spend $75 million on ads to run in the United States featuring Reagan criticizing tariffs

I never heard about that ad but now I want to see it!
If anyone else does to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN_CVvzExpM
When I heard about this, my first thought was "if he calls it 'fake news', it is probably spot on". It did not disappoint, to say the least.
Reality has a well known liberal bias.
Conservatism is a dead end death cult predicated on tribal fear and ignorance of the unknown.
Not that I care much about what Reagan said, but if he, too said it, it's not a party political statement anymore but just common sense.
Plus, to a Republican this is like a double kick in the nuts.
edit: hmm. Tariffs aren't a bad thing per se - used sparingly and appropriately, in some situations they might make sense.
If they are “fake”… then why is he upset? They aren’t real ads. Right?
So Trump'd seen the ad three days prior to his supposed late night melt down. And he's again making large, market disruptive comments on a Friday, which will likely get toned down by Monday/Tuesday.
This just smells like more market manipulation on behalf of wealthy backers that want to fleece people further.
that's the beautiful part about trump with all this, the idiot is so far gone and stupid that anyone even remotely smart/logical has to hedge on the assumption he actually carries through with whatever bullshit he says.
the wolves are running the show right now, and they have plenty of lambs and pigs to choose from
Oh no, Canada doesn't get to negotiate with the most dishonest and malicious administration in US history. What a terrible loss. I'm sure there was going to be a major breakthrough any minute now if not for this. Fucking loser.
The king had his feelings hurt and he has no one to blame but himself.
He signed a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada during his first term which he isn't honoring anymore. And then he is annoyed that people are feeling angry at his shenanigans.
Buddy has been cranking out AI videos of himself since he got into office and he's gonna go cry over some real audio? 🤣
This is why he can't imagine Canada's ad is anything other than AI. After all its what he does and he is a genesis. /s
Sure buddy. Why not. You are naked. We all see it. At this point you're just closing your ears going LALALALALA
you give him more credit than he's due, seriously...every single person who has ever interacted with this guy has said they were surprised with just how stupid he is.
the man is incredibly easy to manipulate, him being so easy to manipulate is the only thing that makes manipulating him difficult, because he'll just flip to whatever the next guy tells him
he saw a video that challenged the reality his bubble has built around him, and like a child this frightened/angered him so he lashes out.
Would you look at that, the first snowflakes of the season came early! ❄️
Is that a real Reagan speech? I feel gross for agreeing with him on something.
The worst people in the world were still more reasonable than the fascists today: https://youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok
I've been saying that Idiocracy is coming true, but that was set in 2505. Seeing how far we've fallen in just 45 years, there's no way we make it 500.
President Camacho was actually a good president, though.
Yes, it's taken from this address: https://youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc
it is impressive just how quickly the US fell to Murdoch and Co.
republicans used to have to atleast try and pretend they were complete pieces of shit, now they get to flaunt their true-selves out in the open
Watch the Ferris Bueller class scene instead.
I think I'll eat some butter tarts about it.
Be careful with that. Buttery males is exactly how this all started.
Damn that's a slick joke.
Or a Nanaimo bar.
Someone needs to put him in an old folks home.
An old folks jail.
Later:
Fascist Ford doing his best to help the child rapist by causing friction between us and Canada is my tinfoil hat theory.
your not going to get anything from negotiating with trump, it should be perfectly clear now how this idiot and those behind him operate. "negotiate" and you just open yourself up to another shakedown later on
maybe seeing a video of their jesus saying tariffs with allies are stupid is what some idiots in america need to wakeup
You can't reason or make deals with the great Hamberder King because his mood swings depending on how full his diaper is.
World leaders should just ignore him. His word and his signature isn't worth anything.
