    “These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture,” he continued. “Our Great U.S. Dairy Farmers deserve fair treatment from Canada. Enjoy it while you can!”

    The bastard cries about “unfair policies” that use tariffs to protect a country’s industry and yet in his own Steel and Aluminum tariffs declaration he stated:

    “To allow U.S. aluminum producers to restart production and to incentivize new capacity, additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions and increasing the tariff rate.”

    Literal toddler tantrums.

      This is Trump trying to tell his MAGA moron farmers that he’s fighting for them when he’s actually fucked them with these tariffs. US is THE largest agriculture exporters in the world. When the retaliatory tariffs come, his base is going to hurt because of him, they know it, he knows it, so he’s trying to change the narrative.
