He should have known better. Trump has dealt with Michael Bloomberg before, and his sleazy biz news operation.

CNBC and certain factions at FBN at least try to maintain some sort of facade of impartiality, Bloomberg TV has never shown any such inclination.

Trump said he isn’t making compromises with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, but isn’t going to say so publicly because “it’s going to be so insulting they’re not going to be able to make a deal.”

so Trump is...shrewd in negotiations and not as tactless as we've been led to believe?

this is a bizarro story b/c leftists will criticize Trump for things they claim hey want him to do/be and Trumpkins will defend him for being a cuck

I'd say Trump can get some blame too but he doesn't seem to give a frick. Maybe he knew they'd leak it.

I don't know why Trump would give anyone "off the record" comments. He knows they're going to come out.

How can anyone defend whoever leaked this? OTR commitments are a huge deals for ethical journalism.

Our media is purposefully sabatoging negotiations to bring down the president


This is ridiculous.

I guess Trump saying that stories with Anonymous sources aren't true made somebody bring some receipts.

I guess "off the record" doesn't mean what it used to.

Indefensible. Bloomberg should have had better practices in ensuring that the off the record part of the recording couldn't be accessed by anyone else.

Nah, the Toronto star got their hands on it somehow and they printed it, that's what journalists do.

This puts more pressure on Trudeau to tow the left wing line than it does on Trump.

the quote says he wasn't negotiating to get an actual deal, but to make an "offer" so insulting there'd be no deal

and now he says that at least canada knows where he stands

doesn't sound like the media sabotaged anything

Actually, we export more to Canada than any other country on Earth. Sabotaging or even disrupting our trade with Canada is not in America's best interest. Changes in the trading relationship with Canada should be deliberate, not rushed into a three day window.

Sounds like the Toronto Star knew they were off the record and still went ahead with it. The blames also lies with Bloomberg as well as they should not have documented in either print or spoken word what was discussed off the record.



truthfully, the Toronto Star did NOTHING wrong

they're in the business of reporting news

Bloomberg gave them that info with full knowledge it would be made public

used to be that American journalists cared about this country, now it is clear that the GET TRUMP agenda is their 1st priority

Didn't respect the media yesterday. This didn't change much for me. They are all so desperate to remain relevant they will do anything.

Oh. Well.

Trudeau thought he could just fiddlefrick around with negotiations to build support from anti-Trumpers. Now he’s potentially left Canada out in the cold.

Nice job there, junior.

Trump is literally leading these Prog/Dim loons and the Dim Media around by the "short hairs". Trump is so into their heads he could announce he's for open borders, higher taxes, legalization of all drugs, pedophilia, beastiality, socialism, etc. and they would all immediately denounce his positions.
