Trump Thinks Canada Will Come Groveling Back

Speaking in the Oval Office after Peter Navarro yapped about China and Canada, Trump downplayed the significance of U.S. trade with Canada. After smearing them again, he fantasized that they will come crawling and apologize.

TRUMP: There's nothing they have that we need. We have more energy than they have. We have all the lumber you could possibly use. We have everything we have, we don't need.

And they have to treat our country with respect. They've been very, very bad to our farmers in particular.

If anyone has been bad to U.S. farmers, it's Demented Donald with his illegal tariffs and trade wars.

Soybean farmer: These are the hardest times that we've ever had to deal with thanks to Donald Trump and his tariffs. This needs to stop. It's hurting everyone.
