TRUMP HAS ABSOLUTE CONTEMPT FOR CANADIANS


President Trump is suddenly cozying up to Mexico on trade

President Trump's announcement of the latest developments in the NAFTA negotiations with Mexico on Monday was short on specifics, but the fuzziest bit is Canada's place in a trilateral trade deal that has been renegotiated by just two of the parties.

When he was finally connected with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, Trump was long on superlatives and praise for the new deal, promising it will be "very special" for American farmers and manufacturers.

But apart from a pledge to give NAFTA an "elegant" new name - Trump suggested the "U.S.-Mexico Trade Agreement" - the president was rather short on specifics.

The biggest changes resulting from the U.S.-Mexican trade negotiations involve the automotive sector. 

The fuzziest bit, however, is Canada's place in a trilateral trade deal that has been renegotiated by just two of the parties.

In his Oval Office remarks, Trump suggested that he is indifferent as to whether Canada signs on, talking about how much money the U.S. could make from a tariff on Canadian-produced cars, and again referencing Ottawa's "300 per cent" duty on U.S. dairy products.

But Pena Nieto had already reached out to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ask that Canada rejoin the U.S. and Mexico in talks this week, and he reiterated that request to Trump in this morning's conference call.

"It is our wish, Mr. President, that now Canada will also be able to be incorporated in all this," Pena Nieto said via a translator.

Trump has absolute contempt for Canada and Canadians. We must never kiss Trump's assets. Canada is a far more civilized and free and decent nation than the one he now owns. Never bow to dictators like the lunatic, Donald Trump. Let us hope that sanity returns to America and decent people find ways to erase even the memory of America's Tragic Mistake.
