WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that all trade talks with Canada were terminated following what he called a fraudulent advertisement in which former President Ronald Reagan spoke negatively about tariffs.
"Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump has used tariffs as leverage on many countries around the world.
His trade war has increased U.S. tariffs to their highest levels since the 1930s and he has regularly threatened more duties, sparking concerns among businesses and economists.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Thursday that Canada will not allow unfair U.S. access to its markets if talks on various trade deals with Washington fail.

1. I'm sure many GOPers feel bullying the world will make them rich, but this crud has stop. How, who knows?

[BaronChocula]

5. He's burning bridges at both ends

Monied goppers don't have much to be happy about and unmonied goppers just keep losing benefits. goppers across the spectrum are getting more vocal. In terms of support, we may be at a tipping point. But that doesn't seem to stop his unhinged go about.

6. Eventually, they convinced Nixon to step down. I bet Vance and a few more Cabinet members carry a

worn copy of 25th Amendment.

With midterms, maybe they’ll get him. Don’t like Vance, but think we’d be better off.

[BaronChocula]

13. A president vance with a Democratic Congress

Would be somewhat better than what we have now I think. I don't think Vance could ever win the next election.

[travelingthrulife]

32. Why would they get rid of him. He could be a corpse and they would prop him

up like Bernie. They would insist he was alive and the media would go with it.

GOP has become completely immoral.

[Silent Type]

35. All politicians at that level are just waiting for a chance. If trump is a drag on midterms, bet some consider it.

2. What will happen w the World Series? L.A. vs. Toronto.

I hoped Toronto would make it to the WS in the summer when I saw how well they were doing. Any thorn in his side is a good thing.

3. As an LA resident

I'm looking to an LA win to be a thorn in his side.

[C Moon]

8. LA resident too. I don't think there could be a more annoying WS for trump. :)

7. Verbatim quotes from Reagan Speech

Trump says anything that questions his warped view of reality is "fraudulent." So he is saying President Reagan is wrong. Has the base really shifted that far away from that Republican hero of Death Valley Days and Bedtime For Bonzo?

9. ' Has the base really shifted that far away from that Republican hero of Death Valley Days and Bedtime For Bonzo?'

Unlikely

[BaronChocula]

11. Reagan was a BL republican

Before Limbaugh

To them he's still a hero just because, but if he were alive they'd call him a pansy liberal because he just didn't have enough hate in his heart for them to trust him.

[modrepub]

20. Oh Reagan Had Plenty of Hate

He just played the “aw shucks…” grandpa to a T. Went through a whole second term with reduced faculties. His wife and staff basically ran the show.

Republicans in that era had plenty of disdain for folks. They were just more careful who the expressed it to.

[BaronChocula]

40. Emphasis on ENOUGH hate in his heart

I definitely didn't say reagan or republicans of his day weren't hateful. Good gawd!

In spite of that he actually signed a bill that included immigration amnesty. Though they idolize reagan, limbaugh republicans/teabaggers/birthers/magas turned amnesty into a four-letter word, using it against any Democratic immigration proposals because their hate just burned hotter than reagan's

14. What was "fraudulent" about it, Shitler?

Canada seems to have hit on a painful subject for Trump’s poll numbers.

15. Aw Da Poor WiDDle Boy!

Did the big bad can of DUH! hurt your FeeFees?
President Ronald Reagan spoke negatively about tariffs:

16. Canada playing the ads during BB playoffs was genius and using the GOP God Ronald Raygun to make the point :o) nt

[Bluetus]

39. And it shows the power of speaking the truth boldly

The natural tendency of modern Dems is to hedge and sugar-coat everything. This doesn't cut through the noise. We can see that these hard-hitting attacks are kryptonite to Trump.

Why? Trump is deeply insecure emotionally. All bullies are. Trump's strongest supporters are white seniors. A person who is 70 today was in their 30s when Reagan was in office, and many of them remember Reagan very fondly. We can see Trump's insecurity daily with all those references to himself as "your favorite President." An unfavorable comparison to Reagan is Trump's worst nightmares because he loses that comparison, at least among his senior base.

We would do very well to turn the next 3 years into a Trump versus Reagan debate within the GOP. And we have natural allies with Canada and Mexico. They both have every reason to despise Trump and will help us if we act strategically. For example, Schumer, Newsom, Jeffries and other prominent Dems should be making highly visible trips to Canada and Mexico and private meetings with their leaders. It doesn't matter what is discussed. Any such meetings will make Trump's head explode.

Yes, I know this "violates old norms". Even more reason to do so. Trump is a very paranoid person. This will drive him crazy.

17. What a petulent child.

[riversedge]

19. You said it best.

[raccoon]

18. Wow, such projection.

"Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

[travelingthrulife]

30. Trump might actually know the word 'egregious'. I am sure he has had it applied to him

in a court setting more than once.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

21. Democrats need to hammer Trump

And Republicans for the increased building costs because of tariffs. Affordable housing is a key issue. And Trump’s insane policies only make housing more expensive. That, and he’s a fucking Nazi.

[no_hypocrisy]

22. Pretty sure that the Reagan Presidential Library can verify every word of the speech.

[samnsara]

23. well there goes my dog treats!

[samnsara]

24. why the f dont some repugs jump ship and go indy?

is that so impossible that i just dont understand it?

[travelingthrulife]

29. This. All this redistricting but why can't Republicans do the right thing?

[mdbl]

26. Just another reason to keep Canadians hating us.

Dump is such a major asshole.

TSF perpetually lives in that state as a baby does. His childish antics will continue to destroy the economy and history will show the world what an irresponsible thug he is.
