Donald Trump has suffered another narcissistic injury and wants to make sure the other people hurt.

He's pissed off at Ontario for clapping back at him.

Surely there will come a time when we will tire of his mental illness and the endless calamities it engenders?

Maybe so, but what he's really doing is showing them he's capable of leveling the table. I wouldn't want to be Canada after that schtt talking they did.

What a riot.

He's trying to shoot America in the foot. No doubt Vlad gave him the ultimatum: screw it up, or give Vladdy another Helsinki BJ.

The very name TRUMP shakes mountains and moves rivers.

You people are so full of it; and so full of yourselves.

What's going to happen is economic ruin on both sides of the border and you MAGA twits are responsible for it.

I'm sure you know that Trump paired his latest tariff offensive against Canada with the threat of annexation.

Im sure it goes over your head what an ultimately WEIRD and CRAZY thing for any US president to be threatining Canada, of all places, with such a thing. So let's just slide over to this....

1) Either Trump is just completely full of ---- on this topic and is beating his breast, the way Trump likes to do, or

2) There will be an American invasion and war with Canada because they won't bend

And, no....That war would not be over in three days. Think Ukraine.

Not where I live. Jumbo brown eggs used to be $3 -$4 a dozen. Last week when I bought them they were $8.39 a dozen.

S&P 500 Drops to Record Low As Trump Escalates His Trade War

New YORK--The S&P 500 has dropped more than 10% below its record following President Donald Trump's latest escalation in his trade war.

The S&P 500 earlier sank as much as 1.5% Tuesday before paring its loss to 1.4%, which put it 9.9% below its record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 711 points, or 1.7%, as of 1:32 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.2% lower.

The drops came after Trump said he would raise tariffs on steel and aluminum coming from Canada, doubling their planned increase to 50%. The president said it was a response to moves a Canadian province made after Trump began threatening tariffs on one of the United States' most important trading partners.

Local governments here are run by Republicans. I wish they would get a clue.

What's that saying: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Way to go, DonOLD.

"In response, Ontario agreed to suspend its 25 percent surcharge on exports of electricity to Michigan, New York and Minnesota," Ford and Lutnick said.

In a joint statement from Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the two leaders said they had a "productive conversation about the economic relationship between the United States and Canada."
"In response, Ontario agreed to suspend its 25 percent surcharge on exports of electricity to Michigan, New York and Minnesota," Ford and Lutnick said.

I saw Ford this morning on TV. He said he didn't want increase the surcharge on electricity but that he would if he had too. Obviously, cooler heads on both side of the border prevailed.

You spin everything to make Trump the Orange Genius.

Fact is, he screwed up and, as GAL says: "cooler heads on both side of the border prevailed".

Caveat: one of those cooler heads could not possibly be Trump. Someone obviously shot him up with Haldol.
