What's really stupid is you not knowing the U.S. sells five times as much milk to Canada than it buys.

What's really stupid is you not knowing that if you perform an act that reduces Canada's willingness to buy American milk, your milk famers are completely toast as there is no other market for their products in a world already enjoying a glut of milk production.

Americans are over-producing their poorer quality milk products and seeking to dump them in Canada in the same manner and to the same results they accuse China of overproducing their steel and aluminum.

But that's okie dokie 'cause you're America.
We subsidize all forms of farming. That is not free trade. If we did not, Canada likely couldn't afford our products anyway. Trump is going to do nothing to end corporate farming subsidies.

Tariffs are a subsidy and not a part of free trade.

The G-6 should just stop wasting their time with the lunatic in the white house.

I agree. He is the leader of a-ME-rica, not America.

The stock market is stable and will stay stable because there is no uncertainty. Invest in American based corporations, or corporations smart enough to invest in America & you'll make money. The idea that the U.S. has to sacrifice it's middle class in order to placate the world is cowardly. The rest of the world is never going to turn it's back on the U.S. We are the prize or all prizes of all consumer markets & with our economy roaring, wages up & people having more money, we only become that much more attractive.
Actually I was someone who thought Trump had a good chance of winning. Recognizing that history often repeats itself because human beings don't actually learn anything from their past was a good basis for that belief.
Your reasoning- that because it hasn't happened yet means that it won't happen at all- is laughable. That's not how it works. Anyone who suggested those things would happen immediately were dumb and misinformed. It takes time to cause that kind of damage, but make no mistake, the damage is being done.

The stock market has been down all year.

Only a fool believes his worth is irreplaceable. Again, you forget history. Empires fall.

Ok, that meme has run its course. Try something new. How many "child" presidents have drawn Kim out of his foxhole. The mere act of making him stand in front of world press is a feat.

Very cute. Did you come up with this line all by yourself or did you have help?

If he can't handle France or Canada what hope does he have with NK?

Agreed.

The idea that Trump has "made" a North Korean dictator "come out of his hole" is ridiculous.

Is this what Breitbart, InfoWars, and GatewayPundit are peddling?

This is a huge feather in Leader Kim's cap.

He got Trump to fly to Singapore and pick up the tab.

Kim gets a PR stunt that is hard to beat and countless photos with Trump grinning like a frog.

By the way, Leader Kim flew to Singapore on the Air China 747 which normally carries Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Interesting, eh?
