Perrin Beatty, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and a former Mulroney cabinet minister at the time of the original Canada-U.S. free trade deal, expressed surprise at the sunset-clause tactic.

ā€œThat is not the basis on which mature adults negotiate,ā€ Beatty said.

ā€œFor someone who prides himself as a negotiator, anybody who does business on the basis of, ā€˜One side can only win if the other side loses’ usually isn’t in business for very long.ā€

He can drop the American tariffs.

Currently Canada imports more American steel than it exports to America. That’s going to change.

It’s a little more interesting.

The targets are (at least alleged to be) very strategic.

In my opinion, because in any normal or typical political environment – with anyone who’s ever been in power before – any evidence at all that they’re collaborating with a foreign power would be more than enough to get rid of them.

Uncovering solid, incontrovertible evidence of collusion and a foreign government actively interfering in an election? Instant impeachment. Usually.

They’ve learned, the hard way, that there’s nothing normal about Trump or his base.

They’ve known for a while, then. I accidentally used the wrong Pelosi link upthread; it was from last year. This is a recent one.

Tunnel building and death a trumpian event? Perhaps. Fear causes people to do strange things.

So one parent said he has genuine sympathy for them and another said it was like talking to a toddler. I’m pretty sure I believe both of those people.

Oooooh, he trying to be provocative~

I mean come on now. This is no longer a Trump constantly lying issue, but it’s very much an issue about his team and supporters constantly defending him for doing this, his supporters ignoring/having a shitty memory about him doing this sort of thing all the time and the both of them attacking the media for literally playing back video/audio of him contradicting himself.

Do they realize everyone else looks at him and sees a naked emperor?

Oh, are you body-shaming, now? /s¹

¹I could totally see some RWer pulling this response. Sarcasm tag definitely needed.

At least I didn’t compliment his use of smokey eye :smirk:

This is actually the only scenario I see for Spanky’s tenure - and I’m talking two terms here - to end prematurely. When he turns out to be (too) bad for business for his backers.

Speaking of letters: in January, Trump’s lawyers sent a letter to Mueller arguing the pres can’t possibly commit obstruction of justice, because reasons, and also the pres shouldn’t be subpoenaed.
