Trump raises tariffs on Canadian goods in response to Reagan advert

US President Donald Trump has said he is increasing tariffs on goods imported from Canada after the province of Ontario aired an anti-tariff advertisement featuring former President Ronald Reagan.

In a post on social media on Saturday, Trump called the advert a "fraud" and lashed out at Canadian officials for not removing it ahead of the World Series baseball championship.

"Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now," he wrote. 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on Friday that he would pause his province's anti-tariff advertisement campaign in the US, telling reporters that he made the decision after discussions with Prime Minister Mark Carney "so that trade talks can resume".

He also said it would still run over the weekend, including during games for the World Series, which features the Toronto Blue Jays against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Canada is the only G7 country that has not reached a deal with the US since Trump began seeking to charge steep tariffs on goods from major trading partners.

The US has already imposed a 35% levy on all Canadian goods - though most are exempt under an existing free trade agreement. It has also slapped sector-specific levies on Canadian goods, including a 50% levy on metals and 25% on automobiles.

In his post, sent while he was traveling to Asia, Trump seemed to say he was adding 10 percentage points to those taxes.

Three-quarters of Canadian exports are sold to the US, and Ontario is home to the bulk of Canada's automobile manufacturing.

The advert, which was sponsored by the Ontario government, quotes former US President Ronald Reagan, a Republican and icon of US conservatism, saying tariffs "hurt every American".

The video takes excerpts from a 1987 national radio address that focused on foreign trade. 

After Trump on Thursday withdrew from trade talks with Canada, the Ontario premier said he would take down the advert.

Trump Discloses 'Perfect' MRI from October Walter Reed Visit

President Donald Trump revealed during a trip to Asia that he underwent an MRI scan at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October, calling the results 'perfect' and exceptional for his age. The White House had initially described the visit as a routine physical without mentioning the scan, leading medical experts to question its purpose as MRIs are not standard for such exams. The disclosure has intensified public and media calls for greater transparency on Trump's health, given his history of limited disclosures.

 

MRIs are not routine.

They are given when a problem is suspected or in order to rule out a condition.

Don's private health information absolutely CANNOT see the light of day. None of his ailments can be disclosed. There MUST be a plausible path to claiming his death is the fault of liberals, trannies, and antifa, even if he falls over dead into a ketchup-covered steak while sitting alone in the west wing. Comorbidities cannot enter the discussion. Even a heart attack or stroke must be without warning so it can be blamed on ANYTHING other than an obese old man's withered ticker finally giving out.

Anonymous sources (per MSNBC) claim he first identified the giraffe as Adam Schiff, but then got it right after he was allowed a redo.

Probably. Thankfully, I don't pay much attention to what ignorant racist kunts think or say. The ignore function does most of that work for me.

If Biden had said half of what Trump said in that interview, MAGA would have been whining non-stop for Biden to be impeached.

Trump: Obamacare is terrible. It's bad healthcare. We should fix that.

O'Donnell: With all due respect you've been talking about fixing healthcare since 2015:

Trump: I've been talking about it for a long time. We almost did it. We were one vote short. John McCain made a mistake.

O'Donnell: Where is that plan?

Trump: [ignores the question]

(Fact: Trump has no healthcare plan)

Fact check: 18 false claims Trump made on ‘60 Minutes’

President Donald Trump littered his new “60 Minutes” interview with a wide-ranging assortment of false claims, the vast majority of them previously debunked. We counted at least 18 inaccurate assertions.

Trump told his usual lie that the free and fair 2020 election was stolen from him. He lied again that grocery prices “are down” even after CBS’ Norah O’Donnell informed him they are up. He declared once more that there is now “no inflation,” though there certainly is, and then that inflation is 2% or “even less than 2%,” though the most recent available Consumer Price Index figure is now up to 3%.

The president also deployed multiple other fictional numbers during his exchanges with O’Donnell, which were recorded Friday and released by CBS on Sunday.

• He falsely claimed “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now,” though the $17 trillion figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated figure.
• He falsely claimed each alleged drug boat the US has attacked in recent weeks “kills 25,000 Americans,” though experts note this figure plainly does not make sense.
• He falsely claimed some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times,” though no individual president has invoked it on more than six occasions with this record set by President Ulysses S. Grant in the 1800s.
• He falsely claimed he has ended “eight wars,” though his list includes two situations that were not wars at all and at least one war that continues.
• He falsely claimed CBS aired an edited interview with Trump’s 2024 opponent Kamala Harris “two days” before the election, though it was actually more than four full weeks before Election Day.
• He falsely claimed former President Joe Biden gave $350 billion in aid to Ukraine (the real number is well under half that) and allowed in “25 million” migrants (the real number here is well under half that, too).

And Trump made a variety of additional false claims on several subjects, including the government shutdown, the artificial intelligence boom, tariffs, his first impeachment and his former legal battle with “60 Minutes” itself.

Yes, it is from CNN, but a 37% approval rating is God awful. Doubt it is an outlier but we will see.

Reporter: “The president posted on True Social that the voting underway in California is ‘rigged.’ What evidence does he have of that?”

Leavitt: “There’s fraud in California’s elections. It’s just a fact.”

Reporter: “What’s the evidence of that, though?”

Leavitt: “It is just a fact…If you want to deny that, I’m happy to provide you all of the evidence.”

The Dem victory laps are premature. All the self congratulating will simply make the Don even more vulnerable to his worst impulses. More emergency declarations, more troops in cities, more attempts for the federal government to exert control over local and state elections. If anything, the results this week have only affirmed the need for MAGA to act fast in turning voting on its head before midterms. 

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
