This is apparently a bit too much for Donnie to take... so he's canceling trade talks with Canada.

I guess Mr. "nobodies ever seen anything like it" doesn't appreciate being called an idiot by Ronald Reagan.

Trump's response tweet....

“TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.   Based on their egregious behavior, ALL  TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Stupid and petty... no wonder he's so popular with the MAGA crowd.


EDIT - for fun, take a look at the Fox News coverage...

Fake news... what you heard him say isn't what he said... he meant it for something else... Reagan loved tariffs... and used them against Japan.   Decide for yourself....

I wonder what the pardon cost?  Probably less than one might guess.

Trump has a lot of history with professional sports, the mob, and others who have laughed at him in the past.  He's mad about Bad Bunny for the halftime show... he's mad about not being an NFL owner... he's mad about the golf clubs he can't join... and he's going to take it out on everyone he can, while he can.

The big press conference about the NBA indictments was a smokescreen. Trump does not care about crime, so long as you’ve cut him in on the action.

This is a more detailed bit of background into his perceptions and analysis.  Cognitive Fossils: Tribal Bias in a Global Order

His original post on Facebook contributed to his being banned (seems the algorithms don't like his POV), so he re-posted on Substack.

There is no engagement on the numerous topics where greed and stupidity reign, only the occasional poke at the evil 5 (Biden, Harris, Obama, and Cliinton x 2).   He won't even commit to condemning Trump if the Epstein files show inappropriate behavior with minors... which you'd think would be a slam dunk.

Speaking of Obama... he warned us all of the changes under Trump,  including the construction at the White House, and we just laughed it off....

It's a metaphor for his destruction of America.

After all the assaults on the foundations of our democracy and societal and institutional norms by Trump, I would have thought I would be inured to the destruction of the East Wing to make room for a gilded ballroom. I am not. The crumbling of the East Wing before our eyes resonates. I find it symbolic. It saddens and disheartens me.
