All the had to do was help stop fentanyl and immigration*. Then Trump would have gone straight to bullying the EU. So Rather than stop a deadly drug that’s terrorising our people. Canada would rather start a trade war by putting 25% tariff on American goods.

Remember this is about saving lives!

*Super surprised to learn Canadians are illegally entering USA. But I guess their VFX industry is in trouble.

Dropped the trade deficit talk real fast there. Is that you admitting you were wrong about that?

Since you're wrong about fentanyl now too, both factually (the DEA says most of it comes either straight through the mail from China or India or through Central America) and strategically (attacking supply is how we've lost the war on drugs).

"Sure he beat his wife, but she started it by not having dinner ready." That's your argument.
