        Until it opens, no one will get paid. Canada will start trading fairly or the bridge will never be opened. Is that too hard to understand? America will no longer be taken advantage of financially by other nations.

Given that Canada paid for it, why does Trump think we should own it, or any part of it?

 

The world will be a much better place when the Turd is dead.


Because he is a crook.

There was nothing unfair about Canadian trade with the US. The bridge will be opened when Trump is dead--so, "never," my ass.

 

The next President, even if he's an evil MAGA fuck like Vance, will realize how stupid it is to choke off trade with our foremost trading partner and neighbor.

Wrong on all fronts.   The scumbag who bought off Trump will get paid.     And keeping the new bridge closed doesnt do anything to stop transit between the countries.   It just forces trucks to wait in line for an hour at the old bridge instead of crossing immediately at the new bridge.     

 

So next time you want to get on here and post one of your moronic Facebook links talking about Trump draining the swamp......understand this is just one of a thousand examples where Trump is filling it up.

 

  It is obvious that you have convinced yourself that a "scumbag" bought off President Trump. Actual facts as to why President Trump has withheld the opening of the bridge mean nothing to you. It does no good explaining to you the reality of what has happened and more dialogue will have no effect on your belief. Meanwhile while you bitch, moan and condemn, this issue is being addressed and the outcome will be known eventually. So go ahead and keep building your mountain out of a molehill - it is what you liberal DemocRATs do all of the time. The adage about doing the same thing - like producing actual facts - and expecting a different result - your acceptance of the truth - is just insanity.

Who negotiated the last US/Mexico/Canada trade deal? I heard it was the best trade deal ever made, or at least that's what the guy said.

Magnificent deal, tremendous deal, nobody has ever seen a deal like that, everyone is saying how wonderful it is.

Individuals and companies can decide whether or not to trade with Canada, and if they feel that it isn't "fair," they don't have to trade. It's not up to the President to decide.

 

If trade will be regulated, that's the purview of Congress--NOT the President. The Constitution explicitly says so. That's why the Turdiffs were declared illegal.

 

I'm sure Trump was told this by his lackeys. Therefore, his babble about trade unfairness is just a cover. He's fulfilling his deal with the scumbag. It's nothing but good old Trump grift.

 

Trump has no problem hurting people to fulfill his little revenge crusades. The busiest trade corridor between the US and Canada is a choke point, thanks to Trump's petty little vendetta. That is hurting everyone on both sides of the border.

 

Now, insult me, call me a liar, bark TDS TDS TDS, etc. etc. That won't excuse Trump's actions at all.
