BREAKING: Donald Trump caves and agrees to a 30 day pause on his disastrous and pointless tariffs on Canada —

Donald Trump caves and agrees to a 30 day pause on his disastrous and pointless tariffs on Canada — avoiding self-inflicted economic ruin and proving that he was just trying to "look tough." Trump is claiming victory but there's a HUGE problem... "As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of ALL Americans, and I am doing just that. I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30 day period to see whether or not a final Economic deal with Canada can be structured. FAIRNESS FOR ALL!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Trump is bragging that Canada has agreed to secure the northern border, fight fentanyl trafficking, and spend $1.3 billion on border security — but Canada announced that spending in December 2024. In other words, Trump is claiming credit for something that already happened. Canada has also agreed to launch a joint strike force with the United states to fight crime and fentanyl. The two nations have signed a new intelligence directive with $200 million in funding. The problem here is that Canada could have easily been convinced to do all of this without threats. Despite what Trump has been saying, they are our close allies and share our interests. This is textbook Trump. He creates a problem, resolves it, and then brags about returning things to the status quo that existed before he created the mess in the first place. In the end, Trump has accomplished nothing with these tariff stunts beyond alienating America's closest friends. He is communicating to the entire world that the United States is no longer a reliable, stable partner. Expect our adversaries to exploit this state of affairs to the fullest. Please like and share!
