I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?

Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “… Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.

By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.

    The fun part about Trump’s voter base is that when you point to this, they’ll still say it was about fentanyl. That’s the beauty of presenting contradictory facts: idiots will cherry-pick whichever one they think makes themselves correct and everyone else wrong.

      They’re not just idiots. They’re indoctrinated to the point of extreme mental illness; they’re a danger to society, and themselves.

          You underestimate the cognitive dissonance of the average Trumper, there will be no awakening

      In fairness to MAGAts, the only info they are getting is Russian propaganda through Trumps mouth.

        Until you hear GOP/Trump renounce “misinformation”, assume that wherever it is coming from, it is sponsored by GOP. It is counterproductive to blame Russia for Trump actions, because you are deluding yourself/fediverse into war on Russia will change Trump’s mind.

        We still have free access to information in the USA. Anyone who remains misinformed is making an active choice.
