There is no limit to how far you guys are willing to lower the bar.
Seriously, the bar was lowered over the previous eight years to the point where it's currently sitting on the ground.
Did you guys believe Obama when he said marriage was between a man and a woman?
How about when he claimed we could keep our doctors or that ACA would save us money?
How about closing gitmo on day one?
Trump striving to gain trade advantages for the U.S. just doesn't bother me as much as it does you sissies.

What's it like living in the world of "if". I guess you are still hooked on Obama's "hope" and haven't come to reality yet.

Clear this up for me, cause I really fail to see how the Stormy thing has any bearing on Trump’s presidency.

This is such a reach.

Your OP shows how Trump relies upon his intuition. His intuition told him we have a trade deficit with Canada although he didn't have the facts at the time of his meeting with Little Justin.
Trudeau claimed we don't have a trade deficit with them.
As your OP link says, it turns out Trump was right. We have a $17 billion/year deficit with Canada.
Thank you for confirming how wise Trump is.....
ETA: I'm a little surprised you started a thread showing how Trump was right about something.

In order to make Trump not look so bad they came back and said well when you look at only energy and timber that's true.

There are campaign finance laws in question.
There are personal financial disclosure issues. He didn't mention the hush money.
Both of these are serious legal issues.

No... it said that we don't have a trade deficit with Canada if you don't include energy and timber. When you include them, we do have a trade deficit.

This was a quick Google search. Maybe you will eventually get tired of lying and making things up, but I don't expect it anytime soon.

It's like Trump saying LSU won all of their games last year.
Then one of his people coming back and saying yeah if you don't count the ones where another team scored more points than LSU, he's right!

The article isn't written very well and is somewhat confusing. I had to read it a few times to unravel what they were saying, and it is saying Trump was wrong and we run a trade surplus with Canada. The guy Trump quotes referencing the energy and timber is a Canadian guy.
The paragraph following the quotes is meant to confirm that by citing the Office of the US Trade Representative saying we have a trade surplus with Canada, while Canada has a trade deficit with us.
But all this is missing the overall point that Trump spouts off stuff at meetings he admits he has no clue on.

Energy and lumber are big trade items. Why do you think those should be excluded from any trade discussion?
You keep confirming that you're not very intelligent.

Are we all agreeing that this is true?
