It wasn’t about the ad. If you beliece that, you’re falling into Trumps trap.
Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs only hours before on GM and another auto company.
Trump heard that and made up the butt-hurt over the Reagan ad as an excuse to get upset that the victim (again) was fighting back rather than submitting, which Canada will NEVER do.
The ad is simply a diversion. He knew of the ad days before his idiotic post. But his post was in response to those decisions to retaliate against Trumps agression.
He’s upset that Canada is not playing his game, so he keeps knocking stuff over to try and put Canada off-balance.
To the republicans, Reagan is kind of a god. Reagan saying those things really could wake up a lot of his base. That's why there was a tantrum about this.
This theory holds no water. Earlier this year the child rapist president complained about our tariffs and escalated based on that, why would he "hide the real reason" now and what difference does his excuse for a tantrum make?
Now that Ford pulled the ads, we'll see what happens.
Trump will just whine about some other random complaint and make up lies to "justify" doing whatever he wants to do.
That's how he 'negotiates'. He bullies his opponent then throws a toddler tantrum when they stand up to his demands. When they back down he makes a new demand.
He does it because IT WORKS. Every time he he throws himself on the floor and kicks his legs someone backs down and teaches him that it's an effective way to negotiate. Every single person who has backed down to him is responsible for teaching him. And then they're surprised when he does it again.
Anyone familiar with early childhood development can tell you why it's a bad idea to give in to a baby like him. But no world leaders, apparently.
The only difference is that this particular tantrum toddler has a live grenade in his hands.
Our government has done a lot of submitting. A few months into the start of this Carney said the time to fight was over.
I disagree. I think he is very worried that the Supreme Court will tell him his tariffs are illegal and he freaked out because this ad is the sort of thing that might sway some of the conservatives on the court.
