Is it me, or has Trump been more hostile to–and plans to place more tariffs on–US allies like Canada than on the big, bad villain of his campaign, China?
libs making fools of themselves. Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of Canada. One of her predecessors was King during the war of 1812. Canada was a British colony at that time.
you’re cool with THAT being trump’s justification for an economic policy decision in 2018? for real? you’re worried that Canada is going to burn down the White House again? because that’s apparently all trump has got.
Let’s see. A President working diligently to strengthen relationships with the likes of Russia, China, and Turkey. A President who has been basically openly hostile to long-time allies like England, Canada, Germany, and Mexico. Oh, and Australia. And France. Hmmmm. It certainly doesn’t leave any guesswork for the type of countries he finds more attractive.
Here’s the story from a Canadian point of view. He’s definitely not amused. And apparently Justin Trudeau leaked this to Jim Acosta of CNN of all people.
I can’t underscore this enough, leaking an embarrassing story about the president that you are negotiating a trade deal with is stupid. Especially a president often described as having a thin skin when it comes to his public image.
But leaking that embarrassing story to the reporter and network he hates the most is without a doubt the dumbest thing I have seen this, or any government, do.
Canada is trying to deal with tariffs brought about by the Trump administration. We are about to host Trump as part of the G7. Why on earth would Trudeau’s team leak details of a phone call to CNN’s Jim Acosta.
