Discussion: Mnuchin Tried To Convince Trump To Exempt Canada From Tariffs

Dear Canada,
If Trump is unruly while in your country, use your own discretion.

Tells it like it is - greatest negotiator - decisive … isn’t that what the disillusioned and disenfranchised whites voted for?

So we can add “pathetic loser” to Mnuchins resume?

Canada will not back down. Even the Conservatives - who have been attempting to demonize Trudeau for months now, with some success - are onboard.

Trump has an entirely stereotypical view of Canada - we’re basically apology-loving softies, in his eyes.

What we actually are is a wealthy, modern nation with intelligent leaders who will attempt to band together will our allies to achieve our goals - which, on trade at least, no longer includes the USA.

Systematically destroying the Western world’s economies and alliance systems. Tell me that’s an accident. He’s too stupid to do that much damage without some help.

Shorter Mnuchin: “Don’t piss off the whiteys! Focus on the shithole country to the south!”

You don’t get exempted from Trump’s punishment unless you properly pay a bribe. Like China did:

Canada and apparently parts of Trumps own administration don’t understand this fact yet.

You aren’t saying the Kochs et al. want tariffs, are you? Pretty sure they don’t. This is Putin’s doing.

Reaction in the meeting was mixed. Gee, I wonder who was on which side.

No you are right about Putin
I just noted that it’s a peculiar time for David Koch to retire
Probably made a killing on the turmoil
Maybe he finally got enough saved so he can supplement his SS check and not have to eat cat food

Well, there’s a piece in the NYT about how Putin is stepping in to fill the void in Europe, hoping to get sanctions lifted, etc., so, yep, he does have help, and nope, no accident. Trump is such a tool. Even dreamy Steve Mnuchin can’t help him.

Whoops - didn’t read your Putin remark. Great minds and all that …

The tariffs make no economic sense, thus the only explanation is that Trump is a Russian agent being guided by Putin during the many off the record phone conversation they are having in the wee small hours of the morning when the whole wide world is fast asleep.

Another explanation is that he is stark raving mad, but I don’t buy that; Evil knows exactly what it is destroying.

Didn’t Mnuchin get the memo? Trump and his handler Putin want to destroy America’s alliances.
