Sheesh…why is this guy beating up on rock-solid allies like Canada?

Trump wants his face on Mount Rushmore. The US did try to conquer Canada during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Old dreams of glory and aggrandizement never die.

It doesn’t matter what the ad says. It doesn’t matter what the response was. It doesn’t matter about the national security aspect of it is

It is going to be based on the Supreme Court’s philosophies

This was not a one off from Reagan. He was anti tariff. I think you would have to go back to Hoover to find a pro tariff president

That’s not saying some tariffs can’t be justified The dumping of products by Japan and later China can be justified

You can always compare the actual speech with what was run in the ad

The other problem is Trump doesn’t have an economist in his administration worth a grain of salt

We the people want our Supreme Court to represent us, not the POTUS.

You are not his personal attorney.

With your recent decision, you have negligently changed “in justice” to one word, “injustice.”

The Canadian kerfuffle will have no effect. Actually, if a foreign government purchased ads which are redacted enough to be considered false statements and/or altered by AI to do the same, in the middle of an election campaign (not a court case), I would consider that a big problem although imposition of a tariff would not be an appropriate response. I am not related to the Canadian Fords.

You mean the man-child's tantrums could be used against him in a SCOTUS case? This can't come soon enough. :-)

Also he's confusing jury pool contamination through prejudicial pre-trial publicity with the possibly deleterious effects of a TV ad on the supposedly brilliant minds of the 6 SCOTUS justices he seems to like who have given him most of what he has asked for, at least so far. Not how SCOTUS works!

Was Reagan a "real" Reagan with his own words? OR...was Canada using these new A.I. video things? If real...anything wrong with spreading factual footage? AND, how can Trump even pretend to detest false messaging? So many questions ¿
