For a century we’ve had nothing but a peaceful cooperative relationship w Canada. Now we have trump in a phone call asking Trudeau “didn’t you guys burn down the White House in that war?” No doubt alluding to the War of 1812 where the British burned the White House. Maybe going forward we should require our presidents to take a history course?

Canada has given the US refuge during 9/11. They’ve supported us in every war including the landing on DDay w the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion.

Now? We push away our allies as we schmooze w Putin and NK, calling Kim Jong Un “honorable?”

We have a trade surplus w Canada. That’s correct SURPLUS. But yet more tariffs? Why?

It’ll be interesting to see trump at the G-7. It’s not going to be fun for him. That’s for sure.

Some examples of how far we’ve slid in the world.

1). In a UN resolution meeting, Nikki Haley asked every member to stand w the US on a resolution. Not one agreed. Not one. In the past, every nation would’ve stood with us because being friends w the US used to mean something. Today? It would mean being harassed and harangued by trump.

2). Our approval rating in the world has fallen from 48% to just under 30%.

3). The Gallup poll puts our global approval of US leadership at just 30%, slightly behind China on 31% and only three points ahead of Russia. Germany is now the top-rated global power in the world, with an approval rating of 41%.

Trump is already on twitter complaining about Canada PM Justin Trudeau and going to Canada for the G7. He is telling aides the trip won't be useful & that he doesn't want to be lectured. He also has griped extensively about Angela Merkel and Theresa May.

So basically he's pissed that he has to do his actual job?

Trump is set to demonstrate at the G7 summit in Quebec--once again--that he never learned to play well with others. While the news may focus on some inane, alienating comment by Trump, the bigger story is the long-term damage Trump is doing to our international interests.

You should love Trump, not being able to play well with others and all... just sayn.

Snarky, but trump could start the G7 by at least being honest. He's claiming Canada exploits the US, however. According to his own US Trade Representative Office, the US had a $8.4 billion trade surplus with Canada last year. Its expected to have close to a 10 billion surplus this year. You can't just make stuff up when you are dealing with US allies. Unlike his rabid base, other countries will actually verify what he says.

Canada is also the #1 importer of US agricultural products, more than even China. But sure, piss them off some more.

Why would trump want Russia back in the G-7? For what reason other than Putin owns him. Russia is not a friend of the US or our allies. He wanted nothing less than complete chaos here and abroad and trump gave it to him. I’m waiting for why you think it’s good to reward bad behavior of Russia.

08-Jun-18
Jeffrey, you claim we're full of it, but you have yet to put forward any evidence of it. Explain which part of anything I said or LHCA said that is erroneous. Again, would you advocate Putin rejoining the G7? and if so, why?

Trump's demand that Putin be restored to his place in the once-upon-a-time G8—currently G7—must be explained as exactly what it is: *sanctions relief*. Which is why Putin wanted trump in the WH.

The entire Trump-Russia scandal is about Trump trading sanctions relief for business opportunities in Russia. It's that simple. So far, its working out for both Putin and Trump.

G7+2 Cry Uncle – President Trump Unfazed and Undeterred, Tariffs Will Continue Until Equity Improves… Posted on June 8, 2018 by sundance

President Trump has taken the Godzilla Trump meme to levels beyond ordinary imaginings. In advance of the G7 summit in Charlevoix, Canada Prime Minister Trudeau sounded the alarm and called in all like-minded allies to help fend off horrible Trump and his arsenal of tariffs.

French President Emmanuel Macron responded to Trudeau’s plea and arrived two-days early to coordinate the strategic message. Together they were looking for leverage in advance of Godzilla Trump’s arrival. Germany’s Angela Merkel, and U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May even brought non-G7 members European Council President Donald Tusk, and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as back-up.

Apparently the six-against-one plan was considered unfair to the six, so they added two more. Unfortunately for Canada, France, Germany and the U.K., Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte are not foolish enough to take on Godzilla.

As an entirely predictable outcome, President Trump won again. It’s just so darned funny to watch this play out. The era of the titan is back, and deliciously the titan is an American President, Donald J Trump. He’s one guy, and he has them all surrounded; and he’s laughing the entire time. He’s impenetrable, sharp, funny as heck and monolithic in stature making all of his opposition look decidedly less-than.

Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau (like the Closet Democrat & P.C.T.P.) try to use pontificating snark; it matters not. They seem like foolish gnats. Merkel, May, Tusk and Junker are standing there with their jaws agape. Shinzo Abe and Giuseppe Conte are trying not to laugh – but gosh, you can tell they are loving it. Titans just don’t get embarrassed, they dominate.

British Prime Minister Theresa May gave it the old college try on Friday warning both Trump and the EU of the dangers of entering a tit-for-tat trade war over tariffs, and urging both sides to instead focus on China’s excess steel production. Trump responded: “We’re going to deal with the unfair trade practices. If you look at what Canada, and Mexico, the European Union – all of them – have been doing to us for many, many decades. We have to change it. And they understand it’s going to happen,” Trump said.

Have a crumpet.

(Reuters) U.S. trading partners are furious over Trump’s decision last week to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, the European Union and Mexico as part of his “America First” agenda. Some have retaliated.

Trump just doesn’t care.

Friday’s trade session, where G7 allies planned to confront the U.S. president over trade tariffs, had “some emotions” but was civilized and diplomatic, said the official who followed the talks.

“The other leaders presented their numbers and Trump presented his. As expected he did not budge.

[…] Expectations for a breakthrough at the summit, however, are low, with U.S. allies focused on avoiding rupturing the G7, which in its 42-year history has tended to seek consensus on major issues.

“It’s highly unlikely there will be a final communique,” a G7 official said on condition of anonymity.

"Trump was presented with a picture of his Grandfather’s Canadian hotel. Turns out his grandfather was running a brothel."

That's all you got....bahaha, so what!? Actually googled it, its a very cool story I did not know, thanks. Rugged individualism, vision, intelligence, determination, capitalist, entrepreneur, I guess I miss your point. It was the 1800's for Cripes Sake. An excerpt below...

"After boarding a crowded ship to Alaska, Trump trekked over mountains, through Canadian customs, and to the Yukon River where he had to build a boat from scratch and transport a year's worth of personal supplies. The worst was a notorious mountain pass. The U.S. National Parks Service estimates 3,000 animals died on the White Pass, with many bones still visible today in its so-called Dead Horse Gulch."

President Trump Proposes ZERO Tariffs, ZERO Barriers, and ZERO Subsidies at G7 Summit

This ought to push the (entitlement) globalists back on their heels.

President Trump on Saturday challenged G7 leaders to make the G7 a tariff free and subsidy free zone.

“We’re the piggy bank that everybody is robbing,” Trump said. “And that ends.”

That story about President Trumps grandfather opening a restaurant brothel in the Yukon is pretty cool. Very few men struck it rich there..... but he was smart......

My wife and I rode the White Pass Railway on vacation in Skagway Alaska last month. It follows the dead horse trail that men walked up to get to the Yukon during the gold rush. I can't imagine carrying a years worth of supplies up those mountains just to get to the Yukon River... and then have to build a boat that would get them down the Yukon.... I probably would have spent a few nights at Trump's tavern to get some rest before I tried.

We visited the Red Onion Saloon in Skagway..... It too was a brothel. One of the girls that works there dressed up in the original working girl clothes greeted us at the door and asked my wife...... "You looking for a job ?"............ Ha !!!!

But pure Subservience to Putin.

sorry but trump will learn that other countries don't just say how high when Trump says jump.

Trade is more complicated then what’s been described. and there are good deals & bad deals. But starting a trade war is stupid & hurts Americans. Every economist agrees. Including Kudlow.

You MUST understand that the US represents only 5% of the world population. There are well over 1 billion people on this planet with incomes that match or are above those of American's 300 million plus. They have MANY trading opportunities WITHOUT the USA. MAGA is a CON job.

Trump could never be half the leader Trudeau is. He’s respected, loved and he conducts himself with decorum. Unlike our orange tinged conman.

And while we’re at it. From Trumps own trade Office:

Total goods & services trade: $673.9 billion

US exports: $341.2 billion US imports: $332.8 billion

US trade SURPLUS: $8.4 billion

President Trump: Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade if it is not Reciprocal. According to a Canada release, they make almost 100 Billion Dollars in Trade with U.S. (guess they were bragging and got caught!). Minimum is 17B. Tax Dairy from us at 270%. Then Justin acts hurt when called out! Why should I, as President of the United States, allow countries to continue to make Massive Trade Surpluses, as they have for decades, while our Farmers, Workers & Taxpayers have such a big and unfair price to pay? Not fair to the PEOPLE of America! $800 Billion Trade Deficit… And add to that the fact that the U.S. pays close to the entire cost of NATO-protecting many of these same countries that rip us off on Trade (they pay only a fraction of the cost-and laugh!). The European Union had a $151 Billion Surplus-should pay much more for Military!… Germany pays 1% (slowly) of GDP towards NATO, while we pay 4% of a MUCH larger GDP. Does anybody believe that makes sense? We protect Europe (which is good) at great financial loss, and then get unfairly clobbered on Trade. Change is coming!

I'm no expert, but I recently moved to Alberta and the general consensus (not unanimous, but it appears a majority) is anything but favorable to Trudeau. He's not very popular here.

In fact, a lot of people seem to like Trump.

Of course, they tell me Alberta is the "Texas of Canada," so maybe it doesn't represent all of Canada very accurately.

""I'm no expert, but I recently moved to Alberta and the general consensus (not unanimous, but it appears a majority) is anything but favorable to Trudeau. He's not very popular here.

I have spoken a few times to our neighbors up north while in bear and moose camp. Your observations are exactly what I have witnessed. Some favor the Liberal govt in QC but the majority hands down do not like it. The further west you go in Canada the more noticeable it seems. On the Liberal side....I was in a moose camp in northern QC. I struck up a conversation with one of the older ladies who worked there about politics one night. One of her relatives had recently bought a new house and when the economy started to go south up there this relative was about to lose his house. She, with a straight face, firmly felt the Canadian govt should be making the house payments for him and anyone else in trouble. I asked her where the money will come from and she stated raise the taxes on the wealthy folks to make other's house payments....and she was serious. It was a great discussion and an eye opener for me. On the flip side....the owner of the camp was in a different political party than her. I think he was a doctor or lawyer. She liked the owner but didn't like his political party. I don't know where he stood but she wasn't kind about his party. We ended up hugging at the end of the evening. Her two daughters worked at the moose camp and they were very cute. I think one of them was one of the bush pilots.

What is going to be interesting is if Trudeau puts a tariff on the U.S. hunters and fishermen that cross the border. There was talk a few years back of splitting the country up. Not sure where that went.

I've walked out on meetings 10 minutes into them. When the "what's the matter, where are you going?" questions hit...... the answers are " I don't have time to listen to this, it's not even a serious offer, it's all bovine excrement. When you are serious give me call. Until then we will continue on with what we have planned.... have a nice life...."

"Fair" Trade. Leftists use the word "fair" a lot. But their meaning is different than what most folks think they mean. "Fair" to leftists does not mean equal. It's giving handicaps, changing the rules to get more equal RESULTS, not equal RULES to the game, with all playing by the same rules. In Monopoly they would give most of the money to the worst players at the start..... to make it "fair". They would give the slower players a head start. They hand out Participation trophies..... don't keep score, etc. to get what they feel is a "fair" outcome.

In reality their "fair" is simply a ploy to justify cheating. As with most things they do..... the lies, the cheating..... it's all justifiable for their "cause". Takiyyah.
