Lutnick called Ford and begged him to drop the 25%. Ford said we need to sit down and talk this out. Ford offered to suspend the 25% until they meet Thurs. out of goodwill. He did NOT back down.
We've been pushing back every step. Pausing this 25% allows a conversation to happen. A pissing contest isn't going to get results. Negotiation might. At least put his foot to the fire and ask him what he wants. If he says 51st, discussion is over. He can fuck off.
The thing is he has been saying the 51st state. Constantly...There is no negotiating with him. He is not a reasonable person. He is a walking mouth piece for Puton. Ask him what he wants he will say Canada as a 51st state. He is not kidding about that.
Well... he doesn't really want us as a state, he just wants our resources. There's no way he would let us vote.
If we're lucky we'd end up like Puerto Rico. If we're unlucky we'll be dead.
New Rule: Once you are in the office, stop talking about the last President. You're in charge now, so stop bringing up Biden all the time. Biden doesn't fucking matter anymore. Also, invade Canada or don't. If you're not going to, then move the fuck on already.
I know we already knows this, but he has no plan with the tariffs. He said he was going to implement and countries are standing up to him, to his surprise.
We are just in a pissing match being conducted on X by a toddler who will throw out random numbers for tariffs, like he does in his speeches.
For the intelligent folks in the room, we know this. His talking points are meant only for his cult followers who have no idea how to fact check. Nor do they want to. They just tune in to Fox for their daily gospel.
Right - but in exchange for the sit down, the US backtracked on raising steel and aluminum tariffs. It won’t hurt for a two day stoppage. The surcharge definitely got the admin’s attention.
Well – the threat of actual statehood also comes with two more senators and 50+ house representatives - most of whom would be left of center. Trump can go ahead and leap if he’s feeling froggy.
Exactly. The rules of his game are “every time you blink, I win and every time I blink I claim victory”.
Don’t blink. He already looks transparently like a loser with his fake victory claims.
Every time he bullies - don’t blink.
Every time he claims you caved - say loudly “no, YOU did”.
Canada should demand the US build a big beautiful wall to prevent guns and fentanyl from coming into Canada. Besides real tariffs, ask for stupid $hit too.
🔴 International community! Please bring on the tariffs and boycotts. Exert your influence and use your power. Marginalize the bully. Regards from an American friend
I don’t get why he constantly needs to cause unnecessary drama. To look like the big dog? To make USA look like a fool? I’m so apathetic towards what comes out of his mouth. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I wanna see a bunch of pro Democracy warriors bust up in the place he's doing his propaganda lies and take his ass down and lock him up for treason. Every move this asshole makes is treason & anti-american. He only helps russia and himself
The EU was set up to take advantage of the US? Ah, no one is allowed to have their own interests, anywhere in the world, unless America approves. There's a word for believing that everything anyone does is an attack on you. What was it again???
Belligerent, lying clown. Wonder why he has no friends? Ask Roy Cohn, his corrupt lawyer, later abandoned by Trump, dying, “He has ice water running through his veins”.
You are the threat. you started this with - not treated fairly. Which is a lie. Bc Putin wants you to take over Canada. And so you’re trying to ruin them and us while you’re at it.
I didn’t think I could loathe another human being this much! For all the millions who have and will die under his dreadful policies, the amount of stress and fear created for our country and the world he is and will continue to be remembered as the worst human being our country has ever produced!
Trump keeps talking about the Canadian dairy tariff but is naturally leaving out key information like the fact the tariffs dont kick in until after a maximum yearly threshold is reached. Until then, dairy is tariff free.
He is the epitome of a playground bully. Threatens to hurt us. We fight back, and he cries it is unfair. So, like rational people, we try to calmly talk about things. He puffs out his chest and tries to mocks us. Now, more tariffs are being imposed.
🖕the 🍊buffoon.
We don’t have tariffs on American dairy because we have TOO MUCH of it
We have a literal mountain full of cheese because we have been subsidizing our dairy farmers for decades
The govt buys it and sits on it
So
Yeah, we don’t charge extra when someone wants to buy some of our surplus dairy
🤡
😂 What a little baby! Everyone knows the truth. He goes to his moronic Truth social to create the reality he wants to live in, but it won't protect him from what really happens in the world. He is looking at the death sentence a la Epstein at the end of his horrible little life.
Province of Ontario back down as a act of good faith after Rump's team agreed to a meeting tomorrow. Canada itself slapped Rump with $30B worth of tariffs on aluminum this morning. We're also holding back a further $125B if he doesn't get back down on April 2nd.

Where in the world are you? There are a few apps that can help ID whether its a Canuck product or no; Shop Canadian, Buy Beaver, O SCANada and of course Maple Scan.
He thinks he's untouchable and appears to be so. Yet, how many people just like him over history eventually received their comeuppance? Every. Single. One.
This is a tariff placed by Canada on American dairy products.
If the tariff were triggered (it never has been), Canadians would have to spend a lot more for American dairy products (they'd have to pay the cost of the product, plus the tariff).
Yes that is in my opinion the biggest problem. He knows by telling them these lies how bad everybody is treating Americans, they believe everything what he tells them! No critical thinking or logic
I'm curious how Farmers rationalize the Farm sector destruction under every Republican administration since Reagan's record Farmer Suicides? They are reliable Republican voters.
This is why we have supply management here in Canada. WE set the price of milk and all producers large and small are paid the same price for their milk. Family farms can survive and thrive.
Tariffs on dairy that don't kick in until there's a certain amount! OMG, DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT? And the US has never met the quota because we don't import that much from them!!
Trump is partially right about the dairy tariffs. What he doesn't say is he signed off on those tariffs in his first term as part of the NAFTA renegotiations AND the tariffs apply only for exports over a predefined quota. Most American dairy products come into Canada duty-free.
8 wish someone would call him on this crap! Those tariffs are in place if the US exceeds pre-determined caps. The farmers themselves will tell you that they haven't produced enough to reach those caps in years. The only thing this felon is the king of is disinformation!
From whence does this dumdum get his numbers?
He's far too stupid to be this Arrogant.All he's doing is pissing us off more and more.
Words do not exist to describe my feelings about him.
I pity you all.
The President of the United States is so fucking stupid that he doesn't understand he's complaining about a deal that he signed and called "the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law.”
That has been his standard operating procedure for decades when dealing with contractors. Refuse to pay for work done. Because he had access to lawyers and funds, the smaller companies were doomed.
🇨🇦 is a much fiercer opponent and her people can hold a grudge.
Someone should tell him we just upped our ‘little threat’ to $29.5 billion. Trump needs to speak to American manufacturers. $12.6 billion on US steel and $3 billion on aluminum. Plus another $14 billion on consumer products. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Donald. 🍁
Hahaha. He is laughable to me now. I don't listen to him anymore, closed captioning only. I have created a voice for him in my head. In my head his voice sounds like someone sucking helium.
This explained the whole issue like I was 5. Easy to understand (and a logical concession in any trade agreement). Too bad so many of the MAGA type are now too willfully ignorant to grasp it.
DOUG FRAUD IS A HYPOCRITE (HE SUPPORTS TRUMP AND EXPECTED PUSHBACK FROM TRUMP WHICH HE USED AS COVER FOR RECINDING HIS BLUSTER! ALL PERFORMATIVE) AND IS JUST AS CORRUPT AND INEPT AS TRUMP!!!
The Orange Gas Monkey is really playing with fire.
Didn’t he just withdraw a bunch of little threats himself?
FOLKS - he does this because he’s riddled with dementia. THIS makes him dangerous AF.
Point out the dementia at every turn. Every American knows the drill about taking the car keys away.
A big reason Canada protects dairy, chicken and eggs is to support smaller farms which helps reduce the spread of viruses. We don’t have egg shortages in Canada so which system is working better?
Trump uses his little brain to come to conclusions that will bite him. But then again, he does not really care about how much more money the average Joe will have to spend to satisfy his sick ego.
Why does he give these little fireside chats with Fox News every morning? Is this some sort of stream of consciousness that we’re supposed to listen to? What a waste of time this guy is.
Because they TRY to gaslight Americans while praising his stupidity. It's right out of the Fable, 'The Emporer's New Clothes." They stroke his fragile ego, and spin his lies for him.
The “little threat” by Ontario’s Premier was “paused” pending tomorrow’s meeting, not withdrawn.
Funny how the orange #DOTARD responded yesterday, to such a “little threat”.
In the same respect, Canada does need to be careful with a mentally unstable person at the US helm.
He really is a piece of shit! Its like we took all the bad parts of humans and put them all into one disgusting person and we elected that person president.
Which is why they shouldn’t have backed away. I’d have gone and flipped the switch to put millions of Americans in the dark. Trump is a bully and giving in to appease a bully only encourages further and more aggressive bullying.
It wasn't Canada, it was Ontario. Specifically the premiere of Ontario, Doug Ford. The provinces have jurisdiction over certain things like energy and alcohol sales.
I *hope* it's just on hold till the Thursday meeting, but also Dougie has been known to fold under pressure in the past.
He thinks this is tough. His cult thinks this is tough. It’s really a mentally deformed old man making decisions about topics he has no understanding of and embarrassing the country in the process while lowering our standing globally.
Tariffs are paid by the person buying.
Not the seller. So why is Trump lying?
A tariff war helped start World War II.
Is that what Trump is trying to do?
Canada got green light to look elsewhere. And they just not going to buy anything from US. And no product coming from Canada - no tariffs applied. Triple loss for us.
Meanwhile, donald, Canada will pound the US consumer left,right, and center, starting with your red-state base of in-bred illiterates.
With a smile on our face.
He litterally is the one who sign that deal 😂😂😂
Also the tarifs are charge for the products over the quota, the quota was only met 1 in 6 years...
Complete buffoon

He's withdrew multiple threats he's made after Canada and Mexico called his bluff.
If we're lucky we'd end up like Puerto Rico. If we're unlucky we'll be dead.
We are just in a pissing match being conducted on X by a toddler who will throw out random numbers for tariffs, like he does in his speeches.
It was done in good faith but we can't do good faith gestures with these ghouls.
Ford should have kept them in place and only lowered them AFTER tomorrow's meeting.
Now Trump gets to try and spin it in his favour.
Don’t blink. He already looks transparently like a loser with his fake victory claims.
Every time he bullies - don’t blink.

We didn't need the government to make that decision for us. 🇨🇦
