Once again the presumption of a lie was correct. The so-called Trump #tariffs used an insane formula. Let me say what economists and world leaders are thinking: "How do we negotiate with liars and idiots?" #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Do I have this the right way around? Everybody: UK, France, Canada, the penguins off Antarctica, the polar bears off Greenland; get tariffs. Russia and Belarus; no tariffs. The EO that lets T get away w/ this bs only stands bc MJ says 1 year = 1 day so no vote. Senate just passed it w/ 4Rs along.
