Dear President Trump,
Canadas Not Your Dairy Cow, and Youre Not an Economist - A Response from another insane Truth Social Post ( attached )
Thank you for your latest reality-detached bulletin from what I can only assume is a bunker padded with cheeseburgers and self-pity. Your statement on Canada being a very difficult Country to TRADE with is as inflated as your net worth claims and just as factually groundedin other words, entirely fabricated.
First, the shrieking about 400% dairy tariffs? That old lactose-laced talking point is so stale it could curdle milk. Canadas supply management system doesnt charge American farmersit protects Canadian farmers from the economic free-for-all your own agricultural sector suffers under. Its not an attack, its called economic sovereignty, a term I realize is as foreign to you as humility. Those tariffs only apply when U.S. exporters exceed agreed-upon quotas under trade deals you either didnt read or couldnt comprehend through the fog of your Fox News-induced tantrums.

(13,522 posts)As they have never gone over the allotted amount of tariff free or low tariff items. Supply management has also now enshrined in Canadian law so no government can give it up trade negotiations. Done in case the conservatives got in.

Traffic is down 30% restaurants, stores, motels are hurting.
Elise Stefanik says nothing.
Canadians are pissed at Trump and I don't blame them.

When I read that about "humility".. ".. Its not an attack, its called economic sovereignty, a term I realize is as foreign to you as humility". I was thinking "humanity" could apply, too.
Mahalo, Swede!
