Here comes the dirtier game, and it feels like Canada is going crazy.
When I woke up, the United States raised taxes on Canada by 10%.
Canada, once a small follower of the United States, has today become the best punching bag in the United States.
On October 25, Trump, who was supposed to be on Air Force One flying to Asia, cursed on social media:
Canada was caught on the spot, and they used Ronald Reagan’s tariff speech to make false ads. The Reagan Foundation said they “used President Reagan’s selective audio and video to make advertising campaigns that distorted President Reagan’s radio speech.”
It’s not over yet, Trump then cried out:
Canada has carried out this fraud for the sole purpose, in the hope that the U.S. Supreme Court will "save" the tariffs they have used to harm the U.S. for years. Now the US is finally able to fend off the high and overbearing tariffs of Canada (and the rest of the world)! Reagan was keen on tariffs for national security and economic purposes, but Canada said he wasn't!
Then it was his decision. Trump announced:
Their ad should have been taken down immediately, but they knew it was fraud but continued to play it during the World Series last night. Because of their gross distortion and hostile behavior, I will increase the tariffs on Canada by 10% above the tariffs they currently pay. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Earlier, before boarding the plane and leaving Washington, Trump threatened that he would not meet Canadian Prime Minister Carney during the APEC meeting this time.
Why?
Because Canada is so dishonest, “I’ve heard that they’re withdrawing ads. I don’t know they’re putting more ads instead.
Then, Trump was fierce: Since you are so dirty in Canada, I can be dirtier than you.
Don't doubt, this sentence is Trump's original words.
So, on Air Force One, Trump started the "dirtier game".
Here, there are several interesting questions.
The first question is whether the Reagan advertisement is true or false.
Trump said Canada made fake advertisements, made Reagan’s speeches, and even suspected it was made by AI.
But what about the facts?
Anyway, I looked closely, and it was true that Reagan spoke in 1987, when he spoke about five minutes, and this advertisement would cut the most important paragraphs into one minute.
This is Reagan’s word.
Reagan said this:
At first, someone said,"Let's impose tariffs on foreign imports," which seemed patriotic and protected American products and jobs. Sometimes this practice does work, but only for a short time. The end result will inevitably be that such trade barriers will hurt every American worker and consumer.
High tariffs will inevitably invite foreign retaliation and trigger a fierce trade war. The worst outcome happens is that the market shrinks and collapses, businesses close down, and millions of people lose their jobs...
I see that CNN also has a dedicated link in the report, which says: If you haven’t seen it yet, please click to watch...
You are so bad, CNN.
The second question is, why Canada?
Trump was very angry and declared war on the whole of Canada: he announced the termination of all trade negotiations with Canada, and immediately increased taxes on Canada by 10%.
But in fact, this advertisement was really not made by the Canadian government, but by Canada's largest province of Ontario.
As I said a few days ago, Ontario is a bit more aggressive than Canada when it comes to U.S. tariffs.
I saw that as early as January, Ontario Governor Doug Ford warned: “Canada must be prepared to take strong countermeasures immediately.
He also stressed that “Canada will not take the initiative to provoke this struggle, but must be prepared to win it.”
However, the tariff war continued, and Ontario was the first.
Ford was also angry, on October 16, when he publicly declared: “The Ontario province’s new advertising campaign in the U.S. has been launched.We will do our best and never stop opposing U.S. tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity lies in working together...”
It was this advertisement that chose this time. Trump was actually right, and he wanted to influence the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court. After all, Trump's idol is Reagan, but Reagan opposed high tariffs. Isn't this a slap in the face to Trump?
More importantly, cases regarding tariffs have been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the U.S. Supreme Law does not support, then all Trump’s tariff initiatives will have to be stopped.
So it’s angry that Trump directly raised the table and introduced “more dirty” retaliatory measures against Canada.
The third issue, Ford cheated on Trump.
This especially puts Trump out of anger.
Following Trump’s rush, Canada took emergency measures, and Canadian Prime Minister Carney telephoned with Ontario Governor Ford, prompting Ford to “confirm” that Ontario would “stop advertising campaigns targeting the United States in order to resume trade talks.”
Trump also thought that the ad would not be aired.
Who knows, Ford played with Trump.
He announced that from Monday (October 27) will stop broadcasting, on October 25 is the World Baseball League Toronto Blue Bird team against Los Angeles Dodge, advertisement broadcast as well.
Previously, Trump was upset and felt like a huge advertisement for this advertisement.
The purpose of advertising in Canada, should be said, is also fully achieved.
So, Trump was angry at the rise of Buddha, and directly when, I added a 10% tariff.
There is no dirtiest, only dirtier. Let's see who's darker than who.
It is fun!
And, I don’t know if you’ve seen a detail, Trump is still protesting loudly, Canada has been bullying the United States, and now the United States has stood up, not afraid of bullying anymore...
Canadians laughed and felt the whole world turned upside down.
Finally what do you think?
Let's make three superficial points.
First, the evil man has evil oneself.
It can be said that Trump, who has always held high against Canada, met a Canadian flat-head guy.
I guess the Canadian Prime Minister is about to cry but has no tears. I finally made various concessions to get the United States to agree to resume trade negotiations with Canada. Ford, you silly boy, how did you make Trump angry again?
I have seen that on Western social media, many Americans and Canadians really scolded Ford for being ignorant of the world and daring to "provoke" Trump.
Without "provocation", Trump will show mercy to Canada? Don't you want to annex Canada? If taxes are increased if there is a word of disagreement, who can guarantee that the contract will be complied with?
Oh, these Canadians.
Second, Canada really needs to reflect.
Yesterday, I joked in my article that Canada has been easy to discredit China and plot against China; When the United States met Trump, Canada immediately rolled and crawled in a hurry... Open your eyes and tell nonsense. What are you choking up about? Now, Canada, what are you crying about? Crying, worthless!
Indeed, I see that there are also Canadians who reflect, not saying that Trump threatens to threaten Canada's tariffs, not that Trump threatens to annex Canada, but talking about the issue of detention, before, two offending Canadians were detained by China, Canada is still "strongly protesting"; but now, in the U.S. prisons, "there are at least 150 Canadians illegally detained and are not treated according to the law at all".
Canada, where's your protest? What about your criteria?
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.
Third, Canada had to adjust its policy.
I’ve seen that before going to Asia for the APEC meeting, Canadian Prime Minister Carney said a sentence that meant, “We can’t control U.S. trade policy, but we can control new partnerships and opportunities, including cooperation with Asian economic powers.”
As a concrete move, Canada is re-engaging with global powers such as India and China.
Quite simply, after being beaten by the United States in various ways, Canada, which learned from the bitter experience, had to change its course and improve its relations with China and India.
The wheels of history are torn, and those who do not want to turn will be left in the dust.
A bloody case caused by an advertisement. Dramatic scenes can be said to have climaxes one after another, and there are many good shows, which also makes people really feel emotional.
Sometimes, good words persuade a thousand words, rather than the first bottle of drink - this world, for some people, sometimes indeed a fist than reason can make people more awake.
