Chapter 1: Why did Trump backtrack on tariffs with Canada?
The Trump regime folds to Canada. Once again, it's like Groundhog's Day, the same day over and over. Trump wakes up in the morning. He threatens Canada with tariffs and annexation. Canada goes elbows up over the boards. They stand up to Donald Trump. They say, we're going to retaliate. The markets start to crash. Donald Trump passes. and then Donald Trump reverses course.
Now, yesterday, Donald Trump sent out his trade advisor, Peter Navarro, fresh from his recent prison sentence for contempt of Congress, and he goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, Canada, Can you tone down that rhetoric?
You're being a little mean to us because they're being mean to us. Here, play this clip. I would just ask my friends in Canada to let's tamp down the rhetoric. I understand politics and it's a political season there. Seriously?
And by the way, this is what Navarro and the Trump regime was doing all day. making appearances like this, saying, all right, everybody, we just got to tone it down. Canada was getting, you're getting a little carried away there with your rhetoric. Here, watch this.
But frankly, the premier, he's been, I mean, look, just tamp it down, please, over there, okay? Just throwing down the hockey gloves. Stop that rhetoric. And let's just look at what we're trying to do. We love Canada, but look, there's some big issues there.
And we're not going to tolerate anything but them stopping killing Americans and doing what's right with respect to things like steel and aluminum, which they've been dumping into our country and that's stopping.
Carried away with your rhetoric? You know, there's this meme that I think is so appropriate right now, right here, where it's like the U.S. shoots Canada and then the U.S. goes, how could Canada do this to us? Look at what Donald Trump posted earlier yesterday. He said the only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished 51st state.
And then Donald Trump said there won't need to be tariffs if we annex you. And then Trump said the artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear and we will have the safest and most beautiful nation anywhere in the world.
and your brilliant anthem, O Canada, will continue to play, but now representing a great and powerful state within the greatest nation the world has ever seen. I think we should stop using the language that this is merely a trade war. When Donald Trump makes posts like this, threatening conquest and annexation, we're actually talking about declarations of real war.

Now, one of the things that Premier Ford said, too, is that he was going to apply his own tariffs on energy, which was above and beyond other retaliatory tariffs, above and beyond the boycott. And then that freaked out the Trump regime.
And so the Trump regime that ended up like negotiating against themselves and then acting like they got some deal or concessions when the Trump regime literally threatened annexation and then once again pulled back their threats. I mean, They do this every single day now, it seems. You wake up, tariffs, no tariffs, tariffs, no tariffs. Ooh, did Donald Trump actually post that? Oh, he did.
Are they actually going to sign the tariffs? Oh, they're not going to sign it. What's actually going on here? Let me show you the new leader of the liberal party, the interim, soon-to-be interim prime minister, Mark Carney. Here was his very pointed message to the Trump regime. Let's play this clip.
America is not Canada and Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form. We didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for this fight. but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. So the Americans, they should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, Canada will win.
And so what does Donald Trump continue to do throughout the day? It's just lots of whining. It's social media whining. It's like trolling on his social media platform and exits. It's just weird. They go, why would our country allow another country to supply us with electricity, even for a small area? Who made these decisions and why?
And can you imagine Canada stooping so low as to use electricity that so affects the life of innocent people as a bargaining chip and a threat? I don't know. Maybe you threaten their existence. Maybe you threaten their sovereignty. Maybe when you do something, sometimes people react.
You know, the rest of the world are not like these spineless Pyongyang MAGA Republicans who dutifully clap at dear leader. Most of the world looks at you like the pathetic, weak moron that you actually are, who keeps tanking the market. markets.
