Chapter 1: What did Trump say about Canada in the Fox interview?
After failing in his negotiations with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump ran straight to American state regime media known as Fox to attack Canada. Here's what Donald Trump said. Let's play it.
You're tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries.
Only because it's meant to be our 51st straight. No, but listen to this for a second.
We need their territory. They have territorial advantage. We're not going to let them get close to China.
Look, I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. The people that, now this was Trudeau, the people that, good old Justin, I call him Governor Trudeau, he was, his people were nasty. And they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth. Do you know that?
Donald Trump spent most of this interview with Laura Ingraham attacking Canada and then praising Russia and China. Here Donald Trump is saying that he'd like to do more trade with Russia while he attacks our closest ally, Canada. Play this clip.

Chapter 2: Why is Trump advocating for trade with Russia?
With Russia, we don't have that much trade and they'd like to and we'd like to also. They have some very valuable things for us, including very big forms of rare earth. They have a lot of earth. You know, they have a big chunk of real estate, the biggest, actually the biggest in the world for a country by far.
and on that they have things that we could use frankly and they that other and as i said most of this interview was devoted to donald trump attacking canada saying he wants to conquer it saying he wants to annex it saying that they don't have any resources that are really needed and they need the united states here donald trump is talking about how
Canadians are the worst people to negotiate with, he says. Here, play this clip. Things, we rebuilt our military.
Canada doesn't pay for military. They don't give any, they give us nothing. And they are the worst people to negotiate with of everybody.
Chapter 3: What are Trump's views on USMCA and international agreements?
Not with USMCA, you finally got them around the edge on that though.
No, I got them there and USMCA is good, but they cheat. You know, an agreement's good, but they cheat. And Mexico cheats also.
But China cheated on your 2019 agreement. Can I tell you what? Phase one, they totally cheated and dropped it with Biden.
You had a great deal. When Biden took over, he didn't push them. I would call up once every two weeks saying, you're not living up to the agreement. And they'd buy more corn, more this.
You see even Laura Ingraham is trying to, like, lead him to not attack Canada, but he can't help himself because he's a despicable human being who actually wants to annex and take over Canada the way Putin wants to take over Ukraine. Here, Donald Trump is, again, after attacking Canada, here he is praising Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin. I could go on and on.
You get the point, though, that this is what is going on in most of this interview. Play this clip.
Putin actually said to me, if you're my friend, I'd hate to see you as my enemy. He said that very strongly. But with all of that, I had a very good relationship with Putin. I had a very good relationship with President Xi, a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un of North Korea. Lots of good relationships. And that's a positive thing. That's not a negative thing.

Chapter 4: How did Trump describe his negotiations with Putin?
But at the same time, I'm about our country. So that's why we're talking about tariffs. We'll be taking in trillions of dollars.
I want to get to the tariffs in a minute because we're going to first hit the other.
So absolutely despicable. I'll just show it to you one more time. Then Donald Trump says, look, Canada wasn't meant to be anything other than the 51st state of America. We don't need their lumber. We don't need anything from them, he says. Here, play this clip.
Canada, and here's my problem with Canada. Canada was meant to be the 51st state because we subsidize Canada by $200 billion a year. We don't need their cars. We don't need their lumber. We have a lot of lumber. We freed it up, as you know, last week.
We're freeing it up so that you can actually cut down a tree without being given the death penalty because what these radical environmentalists have done to our country, but we freed it up. But we don't need their lumber. We don't need their energy. We don't need anything. We certainly don't want their automobiles. They make a lot of millions of automobiles are sent in.
I'd rather have a made in Michigan address.
Let me just say to our Canadian supporters and the Maple Midas out there, we here at the Midas Touch Network stand in solidarity with you. We understand why you are boycotting all things American and American tourism because of the despicable Trump regime. And we are fighting from within to take back our democracy from an authoritarian regime that has taken over our country right now.
Here in this interview with Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump says that he wasn't able to do the ceasefire deal with Putin because...
ceasefires are hard and then he spreads the lie that uh russian troops have encircled the ukrainian troops and that that's one of the reasons why they can't do a ceasefire and that he and putin are trying to save the ukrainian troops from russia killing everybody here play this clip and right now you have a lot of guns pointing at each other and a ceasefire without going a little bit further would have been tough

Chapter 5: What false claims did Trump make about the Ukraine conflict?
Everything he's saying here is despicable. Laura Ingraham here talks about how the Kremlin media actually stated that he demanded immediate cessation of aid to Ukraine. And Donald Trump then lies and says, oh, he didn't say that. Here, play this clip.
negotiables mentioned by putin it was reported that i think the kremlin media actually stated that he demanded an immediate cessation of aid to ukraine in order to get to the get to this multi-step deal no he didn't we didn't talk about aid actually we didn't talk about aid at all we talked about a lot of things but aid was never discussed

I thought Donald Trump was such a good negotiator that you were going to figure this out, Donald. I thought you had the best negotiating plan that you were going to have peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. You don't even know what was said on the call. I mean, it's like not the art of the deal. It's like the art of the stupid and dangerous right now.
The art of Donald Trump's obsequiousness, the art of Donald Trump surrendering. What a pathetic individual he is. Laura Ingraham then goes, are there circumstances you would ever defy a court order like the court order that said you cannot send Americans to concentration camps or you cannot send migrants to concentration camps or people who just you divine and deem?
um, to be, uh, uh, train day or Agua gang members. You have to like, give them a process or let's just see where we are in 14 days. And Donald Trump's like, uh, now I think that the number one, I, I think I've been in court more than anybody here. Play this clip.

Chapter 6: What is Wildgrain offering MeidasTouch listeners?
What's your reaction to the court's stepping in to make a statement here. They didn't make a statement when Joe Biden decided to forgive all those student loans.
Well, he didn't mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn't mention my name. But many people have called for his impeachment, the impeachment of this judge. I don't know who the judge is, but he's radical left.
He was Obama appointed. As our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski explains, this is the game that every Republican has figured out. You can criticize something Trump has done on virtually anything as long as you don't actually mention his name. I've documented hundreds of examples of this. It's why he's our editor-in-chief. He's the best in the business.
Laura Ingraham then asks Donald Trump if he believes that when people vandalize Teslas, if that's terrorism. And Donald Trump says, yes, it's terrorism. Play this clip.
And he backed me and he went and he got very much involved. He thought he actually would go around saying, if Trump doesn't win, our country is over.
But do you consider this an act of domestic terror?
I think I think so. Why? I think that if and when they catch the people, and I hope they do. The good thing is they have a lot of cameras in those places, and they've caught some already having to do with that. I think that you will find out that they're paid by people that are very highly political on the left.
Meanwhile, it's because... Very weirdly, Donald Trump then brags that Elon Musk loves him and loves him more than Kamala. Play this clip.
Allies. So Elon is a patriot. And again, I hardly knew Elon until the, you know, election. And he turned out that he liked me better than he liked these radical lunatics that were in it, better than Kamala, better than Joe, you know, because he's an intelligent person. And he backed me and he went and he got very much involved.
