Trump: “Yeah, it is”

Trump during his Super Bowl interview: "I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada, and I'm not gonna let that happen."

He really thinks that a trade deficit is "losing money" or "a subsidy".

What it actually is:

1. A reflection of the fact that the U.S. has a population ten times bigger than Canada.
2. A reflection of the American dollar being worth more than the Canadian dollar.

The stupidity. It burns.

I just want one report, just one, to point out that any trade balances that exist today occurred under the conditions of the free trade agreement Trump signed. This was his deal that he negotiated that he now says is so awful and unfair for America.

Here's one.

Nice. Now I need a reporter to ask him to his face.

Trump & MAGA are after a return to 19th century great power politics - he seeks hemispheric control to secure the arctic region which is why Greenland & Canada & Panama are so central. They figure they have Argentina & Brazil locked down. Not sure how they plan to reinstate Bolsonaro but they do…

F++off Twitler and America. You do not 'subsidize' Canada.

Put DimwitDiaperDonold and Felonia on the front line.
We will all line up to do what needs to be done.

I love how he just pulls these numbers out of thin air. $200B, the deficit in the past 4 years doesn't total $200B and if you add in services it's even less

He knows that no American reporter will challenge him on his lies to his face. They are either too spineless, or bought into the rightwing autocracy.

Narrator: If Trump's lips are moving, he’s lying.

So, Trump confirms Trudeau’s comments accidentally caught on a hot mic do, in fact, accurately reflect his views

chriswoodwriter.bsky.social•51 days ago

😡 Still waiting for any --ANY-- American of public stature to stand up and say 'No, this wrong.'

johngmeadows.bsky.social•51 days ago

"Home of the brave" is a bullshit phrase.

carahumphreys.bsky.social•51 days ago

He has no idea about what that $200,000,000 represents. They are buying our critical minerals and oil and gas. We aren't getting a subsidy or a handout! 🙄🤦‍♀️
