Trump’s fury at Canada is already backfiring badly for him
Donald Trump’s war on Canada is escalating. He just posted some juvenile threats that were designed to titillate MAGA. But a funny thing happened. Canada just released its list of American products that it will target with retaliatory tariffs, and they’re aimed right at weakening Republicans in the midterms. Republicans are caught in a trap, even though they themselves know Trump’s trade war with Canada is utter madness that will hurt their own constituents.
So over the weekend, Trump’s trade talks with Canada collapsed, unleashing 50 percent American tariffs on a whole range of Canadian goods. Canada’s now retaliating—we’ll get to that in a sec—but first, Trump is in a fury.
He posted this:
“The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, in that we don’t expect to be doing much business with Ontario any longer.”
