    From what I’m reading, he’s shitting the bed and then making poop angels with it. He’s completely incapable of doing a good thing for this country. All he knows is low rent bullying and lying.

    I know there's arguments about Trudeau and the like, but he can politely go suck my dick for this.

    I agree. You can shit on his SJW mindset all you want. But it won’t really matter when we are standing next to each other in the same bread line. You don’t treat allies this way.

    Yeah, it won't stop us from treating you guys with respect... The 9/11 Gander reaction wasn't done at the behest of a Prime Minister or President...

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...8d05321db62_story.html?utm_term=.555cdfb23bf2

    That's why there's a big "fuck you" by us as a whole when he says that we're some sort of threat to your national security.

    I don't like the way Trump is going about this, but I don't see why it's totally fine for Canada to have huge tariffs on dairy products, but putting a tariff on steel is completely unethical.

    By all means clarify for me if I'm missing it, but I fail to see why one tariff is so much worse than the other.

    Because the US dairy production system doesn't have proper supply management measures in place. Go look no further than your Farm Bill.

    Hell, even the dairy farmers themselves don't blame Canada: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/dairy-farmers-wisconsin-trump-1.4081391

    What a worthless clown. Go spin lies and embarrass your country in oblivion. By the time he’s done, nobody will want anything to do with the country and STILL he’s getting support. Exactly how watered down is the tribe to keep encouraging this retarded behaviour?

    ...could they be more fucking stupid while running a country at the same time?

    Suffice to say I think the tune will change once he's finally out of office. I'd be shocked if he makes it to a second term; he'll either get impeached or just flat lose. Trump is an embarrassment to the vast majority of the country, and I think foreign governments (and their citizens) are smart enough to realize that. Like the way he was toward Canada, I know I can come on this board and not be bombarded by "y'all are assholes!!!" comments because you know he doesn't speak for us.

    I'm sure they'll be pissed plenty, but I don't think it goes quite that far.

    I'm not really seeing the argument that because American dairy could be managed better a tariff there is ok, but not in steel. Canada is doing it to protect domestic business, which is basically the same reason Trump has. In any case, that doesn't make the steel tariff a good idea.

    I'm curious... Canada has the dairy tariff in place in order to not decimate our dairy farmers from a US massive overproduction (you are STILL dumping hundreds of millions of gallons of milk per year, despite having no market for it).

    How does that equate to the steel/aluminium tariff? By some accounts, it looks like you'll LOSE almost 400k jobs as a result.

    https://globalnews.ca/news/4258050/tariffs-steel-aluminum-us-jobs-canada/

    And then please explain the logic behind the "German car tariff", which, by all accounts, would wipe out another 150k jobs in the US. (a TON of German cars are manufactured in the US).

    Then explain how it is that this is a matter of National Defence.

    You should read the response by Trudeau's former Foreign Policy Advisor:

    Can't say I don't agree.

    All trade, huh? Does he know how many of his country’s cars we make here? How we supply 48% of the entire American aluminum stock? And how much lumber? Or resources for that matter?


    He’s just going to stop that dead. Hide his fucking keys already. How much of a hypocritical, spineless cash whore do Republican lawmakers have to be to just sit there and let this moron say as he pleases? It’s like they handed the presidency over Francis from “Peewee’s Big Adventure” and they don’t even care.

    "The North American FREE TRADE Agreement is not good".

    "We need FREE TRADE".

    The dude is like a gold fish... "thinking" in the moment without any memory or thought behind it. When he gets pissed off at someone, he threatens them.

    Why do you think he's got such a hard on for German cars?
