Trump: Canada's new tax is a 'blatant attack' on US - CNN



President Donald Trump said he has put an end to trade talks with Canada and will soon announce a new tariff rate for that country, he said in a Truth Social post. The decision to end negotiations, which have been ongoing for several months, came after Canada announced a digital service tax, Trump said, calling it “a direct and blatant attack on our Country.”

We know that the GOP and SCOTUS will be all in due to their past behavior.

Just want to get the sane MAGAs on board with it - as the Bush II administration used to say about Iraq - they will welcome us with open arms.

And since Trump considers the Blue States enemies, who cares what sane America thinks.

On edit: And the Evangelicals are awaiting for the rapture - if an attack ends up setting the world on fire - I am sure that they are all on board with such an event.
