A Canadian reaction to Trump's tariff threat. [View all]

Dear President Trump,
Canada’s Not Your Dairy Cow, and You’re 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 grounded—in other words, entirely fabricated.
First, the shrieking about 400% dairy tariffs? That old lactose-laced talking point is so stale it could curdle milk. Canada’s supply management system doesn’t “charge” American farmers—it protects Canadian farmers from the economic free-for-all your own agricultural sector suffers under. It’s not an attack, it’s 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 didn’t read or couldn’t comprehend through the fog of your Fox News-induced tantrums.
