“Trudeau came to see me. He’s a good guy, Justin. He said, ‘No, no, we have no trade deficit with you, we have none. Donald, please,’ ” Trump said, mimicking Trudeau, according to audio of the private event in Missouri obtained by The Washington Post. “Nice guy, good-looking guy, comes in — ‘Donald, we have no trade deficit.’ He’s very proud because everybody else, you know, we’re getting killed.
“ … So, he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong, Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. … I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid. … And I thought they were smart. I said, ‘You’re wrong, Justin.’ He said, ‘Nope, we have no trade deficit.’ I said, ‘Well, in that case, I feel differently,’ I said, ‘but I don’t believe it.’ I sent one of our guys out, his guy, my guy, they went out, I said, ‘Check, because I can’t believe it.’
‘Well, sir, you’re actually right. We have no deficit, but that doesn’t include energy and timber. … And when you do, we lose $17 billion a year.’ It’s incredible.”
The Office of the United States Trade Representative says the United States has a trade surplus with Canada.
So Trump made sh*t up, and when Trudeau refused to accept Trump’s lie, a Trump aide went out and searched around until they found a number that made Trump seem right. According to U.S. data, the U.S. has a $7.7 billion surplus with Canada, while according to Canadian data, Canada has a $14.6 billion surplus….
Note…
This is a man who the President of the United State’s ADMITTING that he LIKES to bull shit people with made up stuff….
The Dog…
And the “evangelicals?” Those good religious folks who believe in morality(haha) and being holier than thou?
They are now supporting a self confessed liar.(among a host of other things)
But hey,he ain’t no damn “Librul.”
Sometimes you wonder what exactly they do on Sundays in their “churches?”
Trump uttered this complete Bullshit just down the street from my office. In fact I’ve had several work meetings at that very hotel.
This was supposedly a fundraiser for Senate candidate Josh Hawley, but in true Trump fashion he barely mentioned Hawley or his race against McCaskill at all.
The man is about HIMSELF….
Not the office
Not the country
Not even his wife
Just DONALD J TRUMP
AND
$$$$$$$$
Really James…
After any post about Trump you merely repeat the above in some different form.
It is old and boring.
You need not comment on every post here you know.
Except I have shown what Democrat’s ARE doing
Not what want some want?
We ain’t all just one thing
What you just wrote makes no sense James.
No it doesn’t.
Sadly,he doesn’t get how foolish he looks with this nonsense.
I have given examples of Dem up for working with Trump and Dem’s
Jack says they won’t
I have another example when the budget is passed
In addition?
Pelosi and Schumer are NOT going hard against Trump
But of course Jack will not acknowledge this
So I will keep pointing out the reality hete
I will not acknowledge fantasies you have created in your mind.
“Pointing out” that Democrats voted for a CR to keep the government open as indicating that Democrats are “working” with Trump is laughable.
Using that standard Republicans “worked” with Obama.
You just wholly invent things in your mind and continue to make yourself look foolish.
As I said earlier,nowhere does one read this silliness but here.
You increasingly remind me of that kid SE who used to come on here daily with all sorts of useless gibberish that no one but took seriously.
I used to think you were just being nice to the boy when you commented on the lunacy.Now, I realize that you took him seriously.
Pathetic.
He, he….
You have just confirmed my point….
The CR is EXACTLY THAT working WITH the Republicans…
They could do what u want and shut down the government….Not from the House…But form the Senate….
Jack would be happy…
But the Dem’s in red state’s might just throw away their re-election tickets….
But Jack would be happy…
No Democrats could hold up the WHOLEW MAGILA for Healthcare or Immigration , Right Jack?
Do NOT vote for the final budget?
Shut the whole mother down!
Right?
Then that picture of Pelosi, Schumer, Ryan and McConnell in the oval office smiling cause Trump wanted to work them REALLY did NOT happen , eh?
I understand you are incapable of grasping the reality of the postion the Democrats are ACTUALLY in….
Your adjectives are comforting to see because they are just your sense of dealing with what our party is handling their minority status….
The object of the lesson is to win…
To win?
Democrats have to be flexible….
I HAVE been saying this since Hillary Clinton lost….
Yes….
SE saw something we ALL did NOT…..
SE also predicted that Fritz Mondale was a possible 2008 Presidential candidate, and the most likely ticket was Barney Frank and Al Sharpton. But he was a kid and (with the possible exception of CG) we all said stupid things when we were his age. If SE were to come back, I would welcome him.
No doubt Z
But he, others here?
Got a few right…
“that kid SE who used to come on here daily with all sorts of useless gibberish that no one but took seriously.”
aka, the person who predicted the Donald Trump Presidency in 2013
SE also told us Obama had gay sex with a guy named Larry Sinclair.
He picked the most outrageous and racist candidate to support and so did the Republicans.
I forgot about the Mondale prediction. But, he was right about the racist Republicans and the nomination of Donald Trump. Of course he would predict that an old white racist Republican who doubted Obama’s birth place would be the GOP nominee. Who would think the GOP was so hateful that they would nominate a hate monger for President. But, we are all paying for it.
But, he got a few right? A monkey playing slot machines here at the Indian Casino gets a few right James. What’s your point?
But, to the idea that passing a continuing resolution is working with the opposition party. Technically that is correct. But is also one of the most ignorant thing I have ever read coming from someone claims they understand politics and how government works (you should have taken the class James). We have seen the results of a government shutdown, and it is hardly bi-partisanship to keep the government funded and operating. That isn’t working across the aisle, it is self preservation.
Actually I DID take polysci in HS and several courses in college Keith….
And yes , as I point out?
And Jack overlooks….
Pelosi and Schumer ARE playing the LONG game….
You and I agree shutdown are NOT the way to go…Hence the Democrats ARE working QUIETLY to get OTHER things done WITH the Republicans weither some people like it or NOT….
For a guy who you two say does NOT understand politics?
I understand I guess something simple your two seem to have forgotten, or maybe just overlook….
THE REPUBLICANS ARE THE MAJOROTY PARTY IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE….
They have the votes….
And wait….
Self preservation = working WITH the GOPer’s…..
I rest my case…..
