The president says he is boosting tariffs on Canadian imports by 10% because he doesn't like an ad they ran last night during the World Series, and which he falsely describes as inaccurate. Oh, and here's the Reagan address in question—judge for yourself!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan's Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, "created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address," and "did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter." The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada's hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their "rescue" on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn't! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs

Mike H @mjh878.bsky.social · 6h

What eventually occurs is: First, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets.

“You see, at first, when someone says, ``Let's impose tariffs on foreign imports,'' it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works -- but only for a short time.

Plus the “irrational exuberance” leading data center builds for “AI” and crypto is stunning. But that’s just me; a guy who lived through earlier data center & related bubbles. History never repeats itself so…

Patiently waiting for someone to greet me outside the First Lady’s office in the East Wing, I’m reading “vacuous person” to be a bad thing. Coulda read that wrong tbh. So confused these days

I might not have it 100% accurate but I think the line from Streisand’s song “People” is apropos; “Tariffs, people who need tariffs / Are the dumbest people in the world”

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.
