No, I don’t think he’s “lost it”.

Whereas we are traditionally and still mostly used to politicians who may privately think back and forth on issues before finally issuing some carefully crafted position or statement, Trump has pretty much always done his thinking out loud and very publicly.

He’ll pretty much say whatever is on his mind at that moment.

Sorter saying "Good! We're TOTALLY SICK of these countries taking advantage of us."

WTF?



Why did Trump sign an agreement that allowed them to take advantage of us, Nick?

Well, he cant end the agreement on his own; it was codified into US Law. (19 USC 29, sections 4501-4732)

If he wants to change the US end of it, he will need Congressional support

It doesn't matter why—-it was still a deal he put in place.


Well, he did put it in place. However, he lacked support in the House and Congress to scrap it during his first term. You know this but pretend not to know the circumstances.

Go frick yourself.

Can we get the MAGA definition of what is allowed and not allowed?

Is any and all debate TDS/Bitching?

Is everyone supposed to just shut up and agree with whatever the government wants to do? Is that the only way to NOT be diagnosed with TDS?

Trump is always negotiating and always keeps his rivals off balance. How can ANYBODY STILL NOT GET THAT BY NOW?!

He is not ripping it up at any time. He has honored the deal up to this point, but the USMCA includes a provision that allows us to terminate it after 6 years. That is what this review is for. This is all part of the framework of the original deal.

Nah.... just stop pretending EVERYTHING Trump does is wrong, horrible, or anything that Harris could've done better!
And stop pretending you give a frick about what it takes to not be called out as having TDS!!

The USMCA deal was never going to be renewed. It is a trilateral deal and Trump made it clear that he would only renew Bilateral deals with Mexico and Canada.

This isn’t new,

Mexico has cooperated and worked in good faith to obtain its bilateral with the US.

Canada has not cooperated and has not worked in good faith towards a bilateral… if fact, they have avoided participating. Canada’s assembly economy flourished by allowing China to circumvent US trade regulations via Canada. They don’t like it that Trump is closing the door on the corruption.

It was the fine work by Lighthizer and company that migrated NAFTA to USMCA , which had provisions allowing it to be cancelled, particularly the automotive industry.

The problem for Canada is that they committed wholly to the WEF green economy agenda … and now they find themselves unable to pivot. And the average Canadian citizen has no idea because of the totalitarian control over their media. They’re being gaslit

Good. Break Canada as the sit in a recession and making deals with Chyna to import their EVs. Pass the law that prevents them from crossing the border too.

Put a hurt on them to give Alberta no other choice but to break away in their October vote. And make s deal with them to get them kicked off on the right foot.

1/3 of all deals made by major corporation turn out to be bad deals. Backing out of bad deals without losing your shirt is an important part of business management.


Fer instance, Bud Light made a really bad deal signing up a flaming gay spokesperson to sell beer to rednecks. Does any body deny the right approach was to drop the ad.
