    Republican President Donald Trump during a press conference on Monday. He criticized the existing trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, calling whoever signed it a fool who should be ashamed.

    • forgetting you proposed a new trade agreement—the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)—to replace an existing trade agreement—NAFTA—with your country's closest neighbors—Canada and Mexico—at a G20 Summit in 2018

    • forgetting holding a ceremonial signing photo op with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto when you used a Sharpie marker instead of a pen, but were mocked for signing in the wrong place

    • forgetting repeatedly tweeting about your great new trade agreement, falsely claiming it would make Mexico pay for your border wall

    • forgetting holding another photo op in front of the White House in 2020 when you signed your new trade agreement—USMCA—into law

    • forgetting issuing multiple White House announcements about your new trade agreement

    His base are too far gone to remember.

    That was a pussy speech. The only time he has dared to get ballsy with Trump is when he is on the way out the door? You know how they say the French tanks have back-up lights on them? Well, Trudeau gave that speech with his back-up lights on.

    At least Zelensky spoke out knowing that he was committing political hari-kari on the way out.

    You elected a psychopath who is rapidly destroying your economy and willingly throwing millions of Americans out of work. He's making you pay for tax cuts for the rich and you just say thank you sir can I have another one ( hint that makes you the pussy in this equation ). Still waiting for Trump to take on Trudeau in a boxing ring. Let's see who the real pussy is in this equation ( you know, other than yourself which is painfully obvious the way you rail against powerful woman and bitch about Canada nonstop ).

    Will you say that when he wins the the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing an end to the war in Ukraine?

    Trump is going to hate it when Carney or Freeland take over and tell him to get real or pay the consequences. Almost nobody in Canada is behind appeasing Trump on any level it would be political suicide to do so. Americans in a bubble are finding our very soon the real cost of Trump's economic policies.

    I didn't think I'd ever see the day that people would post that an early 1930's themed economic policy is their supposed solution to whatever they think ails them. Except you have to sprinkle in a little Reagonomics trickle down theory by cutting taxes for rich people.

    I sure hope someone is paying you to post all this bs on here. Have you considered a career in politics you might be able to grab a 4 year contract before all the unemployed govt workers start looking. Auto workers are next.

    Your new guy coming in... how much you wanna bet he sits down with Trump and makes a deal? He has to. These tariffs will destroy your economy. Trudeau even said that. As Tree pointed out, it's easy to talk tough with 5 days left... and as I said it was a great sounding speech... but your new guy... he'll kiss the ring. ;)
