Trump slams Canada on Twitter, suggests replacing NAFTA with separate deals

https://www.ctvnews.ca/trump-slams-...replacing-nafta-with-separate-deals-1.3954972

******************

CNN is reporting that Trump supporters are leary/ concerned about his tariff actions. They realize that they will be affected adversely as well.

The price of Beer will go up now ( for Americans.)
Canada has never treated America bad on agriculture or on anything else.

Why bother even talking to these people when President Poop for Brains is in charge?

Oh look !

Partisan pissing contest. Colour me not interested.

I don't give a damn if Trump is a republican, democrat, independent, conservative, liberal, libertarian, Saturday afternoon anarchist, or a hippy dippy buddhist reciting the Om mantra on Thursday nights with daisies sticking out of his toupe....

The guy's a fricken moron, asshat, and con artist all rolled up into one big fluffy orange package.

The sooner Americans wake up to that fact and start realizing he's not the messiah, the sooner the rest of the world can get back to playing grown up games in the grown up world.
That is the problem , politicos playing grown up games in a grown up world . Those grown up games , gave us the swamp and deficit financing . People are sick of those grown up games and hence we have Trump. Enjoy your salt .

So when Canada renewed the same tarrifs a year ago what sort of asshat was worn? A toque? Bowler? Redneck mesh backed ball cap?

Please enlighten us Brian.

Well if you think Trump is going to drain the swamp and reduce your deficit... then the koolaid really is working well down there.

Enjoy your sugarcoated propaganda.

Which import product is the biggest drag on the US economy? What happens when the US becomes a net exporter and eliminates most of the trade deficit caused by that product?

Would we have asshats importing shit steel through Canada into the US if we didn't have to pummel our dollar to keep Ontario afloat?

Trade deficit ?

Aw, how cute. You've bought into the zero-sum trade game bullsh** being spoonfed to you by the 'enlightened one'.


This is what happens folks when you prefer to play Pokemon Go on your cellphone while sitting in economics class.

I confess I get a huge kick out of the muddled vision of people like OpposingDigit! The guy is so utterly delusional it is hard to imagine him living in the same world as the rest of us!

Dullwit digit says this: Find me one single solitary person on the face of this earth who is able to completely and truthfully describe and account for Economics in any sane and understandable ways. In fact, the Federal Reserve is described as being "Coy" policy details. The media suggests that is exactly how a God at the Federal Reserve should act or appear. Nothing heavy or overly transparent.

The "Economic System" itself is a "Myth" propagated by "Magicians" who afforded themselves the costs of a higher education and "Purchased" a PHD or an SH?T after their names. The same way that a Christian Preacher attends a religious institution and leaves with a "Certificate Of Christendom".

Digit TRULY believes that HE can offer sensible comment on a system he describes as MYTH and he wants us to believe our money is managed by MAGICIANS!

Poor deluded creature! Digit does not understand that the only economic magic involved is LIE-beral magic! LIE-berals want a simple thing like 2 + 2 to result in the answer: 5.3 so they can have more money without actually PAYING FOR IT!

This is the driver for all inflation- the same job done producing the same product but for more money! It is a process of self delusion that LIE-berals have elevated to a fine art!

The lunatic writer Linda McQuaig has made a nice little career for herself writing about how LIE-berals and their less intelligent NDP cousins could create the fiscal equivalent of a perpetual motion machine if they only had the courage to BORROW enough money to fuel the contraption!

I guess Poor Digit has read to much McQuaig stuff and lacks the capacity to recognize fresh, ripe, straight from the back of the Bull, organic fertilizer of the sort that McQuaig so eloquently sells!

Or perhaps Digit has read to much Naomi Klein and believes- due to that nasty deficiency of critical thinking and logic- that capitalism and democracy are inferior to the socialist madness that deluded Hogs want to force on us! Klein certainly rips Yankees up one side and down the other often enough in her own mad way!

But the Klein devils are in the details! In her book Shock Doctrine she reveals herself by talking about a strike at the Argentine Fiat car plant. Striking auto workers decided that Fiat execs were not negotiating in good faith so they HIRED SOME HIT MEN TO KILL SEVERAL FIAT EXECS!! The idea being to motivate the survivors to get real about pay raises in the BANKRUPT COUNTRY!!! And to the shock and horror of auto workers- Fiat simply abandoned the Argentine fiscal basket case and its lunatic Hogs ands walked away!

Klein apparently believes the Fiat response was some sort of betrayal of formerly loyal workers! No doubt she is puzzled as to why Fiat did not simply borrow MORE money to make things all better?

Some PIGS truly believe they are more equal than others and are working HARD to impose legislation that will FORCE US TO BELIEVE!

How can it possibly go down?

By what magic?

Trump (and everybody else who's bought into his word salad propaganda) thinks it's the rest of the world's fault why his country buys more stuff than it sells.

The largest consumers on the planet (read: USA) are scratching their heads as to why they buy more stuff than they're trade partners are buying.

... and it's all our fault, apparently.

It's everyone elses fault why Americans love to buy lots and lots of stuff... moar moar moar !

Trump thinks everything is a zero-sum game, and by using big words like "trade deficit" (it sounds so smart and business-like, you know), it makes him sound so.... smart. Bigly smart.

I have no clue what your saying (or asking) in that semi-sentence.

Care to clarify ?


Hoid asks us: "why bother talking to Yankees about free trade while President Poo is in charge"?


For one thing Yankees hold the keys and ownership of our economy!


For another thing our national safety is based on the utterly delusional LIE-beral belief that Yankees will ALWAYS rescue us from any situation that comes up- while at the same time offering up sincere and heartfelt respect for our sovereignty!



Hoid wishes to distract us from the VAST FRICTION that Our idiot Boy Justin is creating with his utter indifference to national security issues!


But the REAL KILLER is the fact that Yankees hold the major portion of our national debt- and here I do not refer only to what Ottawa owes- I refer to ALL the debt held by our 4 levels of govt- with only one level of tax payer to plunder!


Yankees fear the the chaos and confusion that will result if Canada becomes a haven and a home base for Muslim terrorists, Nigerian letter scammers along with all manner of Russian and Chinese spies pretending to be Cdns and sneaking into United States to steal all manner of advanced technology!



Yankees have their own fiscal trouble and a LARGE Cdn economic failure would hurt them badly as well! It would not be just the lost trade that would hurt- it would be the halting of interest payments on our VAST DEBTS as well!


Yankees rightly FEAR that Cdn LIE-berals want to pull a GREEK STYLE DEFAULT and simply have a pile of debt wiped off the slate as being hopelessly LOST!


To bad for LIE-berals- the Yankees KNOW how much stuff we have to sell and Yankees have ways to make us PAY- that do NOT involve military threats!



This is the dangerous game our Yankee hating, anti western, anti white, idiot Boy Justin is playing! He is DESTROYING CDN IMPERIALISM just as his Soviet father urged him to!



And Hoid is backing the idiot up with lots of posts about the lunatic electric TOY car business that LIE-berals want to build as a great

source of NEW GRAVY FOR HOGS!

Oh- and the BIGGEST DRAIN on Yankee economy is trying to protect North America from all the pirates, thieves, fascists, union Hogs, socialists, Soviets and Muslim radicals that ALL believe that whatever we own that they desire should be given to to them in the name of- pick one: God/ Allah/ Lenin/ Godfather/ just for the hell of it/ shut up I have a bigger bomb than you/ give me a moment to think of a reason.......and etc!

25,000 less workers employed by federal government since Trump took office . I would say that is a start .
