Chapter 1: What are Donald Trump's new tariff threats against Mexico?
Mexico's president, Claudia Scheinbaum, is bringing the fire. And at a press conference she just held, she's calling out Donald Trump's tariffing the world, including Mexico, 25% on steel and aluminum. She's just saying, do you all realize that based on the current trading posture, this is actually going to hurt the United States of America? far more than it's actually even going to hurt Mexico.
Hey, Donald, you may want to use a little logic. Oh, wait, you don't have any. Mexico's powerful president, Claudia Scheinbaum. Let's watch it.
With the increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum by the United States, this country would be violating the trade agreement that exists between Mexico, Canada, and the United States by being a unilateral imposition.
It is until March 12th. This is important. Particularly in the case of steel and aluminum, the United States exports more than it imports. So there is no deficit in favor of Mexico. On the contrary, it's in favor of the United States. It's a very important argument to say that there is no point in imposing tariffs.
And we have to establish the best possible relationship with the United States, always defending Mexico's interests. but seeking to convince the President of the United States and his entire cabinet that the trade agreement we have has created economic integration that benefits the United States. It benefits Mexico too. It benefits Canada, but it benefits the United States.
The only way to compete with Asia, particularly with China and other countries, is to stick together.
And I just want to show you how cool and collected Mexico's President Claudia Scheinbaum is. For example, the day before, when Donald Trump had just stated that he was going to do these tariffs on Air Force One after saying that there would be a 30-day pause on the tariffs before, right? First, he was going to tariff, and then there was a 30-day pause after he made a fake deal.
Then he said, okay, I'm tariffing the world when it comes to aluminum and steel, even though I made deals with Mexico and Canada, whatever. I break deals. My name is Trump. I lie about everything. So Claudia Scheinbaum finds out about it on the media the way everybody else does because Donald Trump is so chaotic. The media asks her about it and watch how President Claudia Scheinbaum handles it.
She's just like, look, I heard about it the same way y'all heard about it on the news. We're going to get through this together once again. Play this clip.

Chapter 2: How is Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum responding to Trump?
And here's our friend at the Midas Touch Network, who's become a leader in Canada and internationally. Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus here responding in Angus fashion to Donald Trump. Play this clip.
Well, I really don't want to waste a lot of time trying to deconstruct the idiocy that exists in Donald Trump's brain. But wasn't it just a week ago we were going to get a 30-day pause? And a week ago wasn't the threat fentanyl, the supposed narco state that Canada is? And now he's focused on steel imports and aluminum.
So again, to the American industry that's dependent on massive access to steel and aluminum through all the sectors of the American economy, well, you might want to call Donald tomorrow because he's just thrown you for a loop. He's certainly thrown our communities for a loop in the steel and aluminum sector. But I think what's really fascinating is that nobody in Canada is surprised.
I mean, did anyone believe this guy? His word could be trusted. He's a criminal.
He's a convicted predator. How good is that feeling of fresh, clean teeth? Now, I only used to get that true feeling twice a year after I went to the dentist.

And look, you had NDP's parliament leader, Jagmeet Singh. You know, even he's, you know, he's always been strong against Donald Trump. But here is Jagmeet Singh saying, here's what you can do. Buy Canada. Here's how you boycott America. Play this clip.
Friends, if you are worried and you are saying, what can I do to fight back against Trump's tariffs? You're worried about it. You're fed up about it. Here's what you can do. I'm here with Craig Zobie. We're in Montreal. You can buy Canadian and boycott American. Come with me. Let me show you how you do that. So you pick up a product right here. Boom. Let's pick up this chocolate. Chocolate Boreal.
Boy, I dropped another one. I have to buy that too. Chocolate Boreal. Made in Canada. Made in Quebec. That's good. Buy that. What else we got here? We got maple syrup. Made in Canada. Got the Canadian flag. Check the label. Buy that. Buy Canadian, boycott American, and you can also sign the pledge that you are committing to do that.
You're committing to support Canadian and you're committing to boycott American. That's how you fight back. Let's show Trump that he messed with the wrong country.
And here Jagmeet Singh again explains this isn't about the border for Donald Trump. It's about our water and the critical minerals that Elon Musk needs. Donald Trump has threatened to use economic force to make Canada the 51st state. Canadians will never let that happen. No chance in hell. Here's Jagmeet Singh. Play this clip.
What Trump, though, is really about, and it is very clear, he is about making Canada the 51st state. That is what he is about. He has made that very clear. We don't need to guess about what his intentions are. He's repeated it. He wants to use economic pressure on Canada to put us in a weak position. He has been very clear. That is what he wants to do. So we need to fight back.
So from Mexico to Canada... And we go east to our friends in Europe who are sick and tired, of course, of Donald Trump's threats and saber rattling. The people of Denmark started the following petition at denmarkification.com. Let's buy California from Trump. Denmark's next big adventure. And they talk about buying California for $1 trillion.
Have you ever looked at a map and thought, you know what, Denmark needs more sunshine, palm trees and roller skates? Well, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality. Let's buy California from Donald Trump. Yes, you heard that right. California could be ours and we need your help to make it happen. You sign the petition there.
