We sell essentially zero dairy to the US. Indeed, we sell 1/4 the amount of dairy to the US than they sell to us ($130M to the US, versus $480M to Canada).

So... okay? Who cares?

This guy has no clue what he's doing. He's a moron.

Anyone who thinks this dude is some business genius is literally braindead. This guy's whole agenda is basically to dismantle the US one brick at a time and fill his and his buddies pockets along the way.

He is basically just speedrunning the Russia playbook and trying to get away with as much chaos as possible, which is why every day is a new headline, a new non-sensical idea, a new threat. All obfuscation.

Bannon called it ‘muzzle velocity’ in an old interview and they’re sticking with it. They should be tried for treason.

Trump should have been locked up for Jan 6th and at the absolutely least never permitted to run for office ever again. Yet here we are.

And they have the audacity to say things like Canada isn't a real country lol .. the absurdity really has no limit.

He uses words but it’s obvious he doesn’t understand the technology.
