^^^^ Trump is retaliating to Ford imposing tariffs on energy exports. Ford is an idiot. This is a battle Canada cannot win and the causality will be the consumer.

Each time he speak of Canada, he tell that USA don't need anything coming from Canada than add that Canada should become USA 51th State !
does it show his hypocrisis or his mental health fast decline ?
I will bet on both !
Seems becoming President comes with losing your mind, two in a row now.
It was trump who started the tariffs to begin with. When you start a trade war it only escalates and nobody wins. That's why it's so stupid to even start one especially with a valued ally. So what's trump's end-game? I think this madman wants to hurt Canada economically before he tries to take over your country by force. I know you won't stand for that and neither will non-MAGA Americans.
I wonder if they exchanged roles ! I have never been in bed with another man and never will LOLL !
If all evil men were stupid we would have easier life on this planet
American here weighing in. What’s going on in this country is a slow and gradual decline of our institutions and generally, a less politically educated population for one that always showed apathy towards its one governmental outcomes (ie American election turnout). It’s an erosion of a middle class that has now become extremely tribal, with left and right entrenched, and the American conservative movement seizing an opportunity like the opportunistic grifters they have always been. Trump is the consequence not the cause. I hope I am wrong. Luckily my Canadian friends are a short drive or flight away during these crazy times!
Trump is a madman, however initiating a counter trade war is counterproductive and at the end it is the consumer that will pay the higher prices. Government will just cash in. Honestly, I dunno what Trump's endgame is, he is a loose cannon. The guy lost it and I do not think he cares because he knows this is his last mandate. Perhaps he just wants to bully others?
Then retracted, then re-did, then IDK....
There's soo many tariffs getting placed, removed, placed again - IDK what has a tariff and what doesn't.
IDK if this is just the result of an old man suffering dementia being in charge, or a strategy to confuse people with a flood of conflicting stories.

What is so insane is that during Trump’s first term he negotiated and bragged about the USCMA which replaced NAFTA. Now in his second term his he’s crying about what a lousy deal it is wondering who would make such a terrible deal when it was him.
It is called create as much chaos as you can and then be the one to solve it and in your own lunatic mind you are America’s hero and salvation.
Probably the weirdest and stupidest negotiation tactic any one ever thought up.
Hopefully countries will learn from this and never make the US their number 1 trading partner ever again including Canada or be so heavily dependant on them.

bighead, as someone who is a neutral, middle of the road, old school American who has consistently voted for third party candidates since 2008, I think your analysis is correct. However, one thing you have left out is the divisiveness within the Democratic party, which is being controlled by the entrenched left wing you mention, but has a more moderate faction that used to be in control. It's a HUGE problem, and part of what led to Trump being elected:
Democratic Party infighting exposes struggle to unite against Trump
Sharp divides over how to push back against Trump and Republicans have been laid bare in Congress, writes Anthony Zurcher.

I am not sure Trump is an "opportunistic grifter", even if many in his party are. I think he is mainly motivated by the idea of "winning", and then taking credit for it. I think that some of the things he wants to do, look root out corruption in Washington and "drain the swamp", are laudable objectives, and I hope he does win. Whether he is going too far, well we will see.
Although there may be some truth to some of what you say above, we need to wait and see how it all shakes out before we can make any conclusions about some of these policies.
