So apparently, Trump is frustrated we're not bending the knee to him in negotiations.

Oh, we're very serious. It's your president who thinks this is all a fun game because he's a toddler who's out of touch with reality.

White House says trade talks ‘futile’ if Canada ‘can’t be serious.’ Live updates here.

Trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. have erupted after President Donald Trump abruptly called off negotiations because of an Ontario anti-tariff ad campaign.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Trump saw Doug Ford's Reagan ad on Tuesday, 2 days before his tantrum & said this. ⬇️

So, what changed in those 2 days? Canada slapped retaliatory tariffs on Stellantis and GM & the Reagan Foundation objected to the ad.

12:35 p.m. ET: Trump mentions he saw the Reagan ad, attributing it to Canada rather than Ontario.

"I even see foreign countries now that we're doing very well with, taking ads: 'Don't go with tariffs!' I saw an ad last night from Canada. If I was Canada, I'd take that same ad also."

Something else got under his skin.. he just used these ads as a pretense

Scott Tribe -A proud "Ketchup Chip Nationalist" member @stribeprogblog.bsky.social · 1d

I am not a Ford supporter.. but I don't think he made a mess of this. This ad was running for a week. Trump said the morning of his temper tantrum, that he'd ebe running ads too if he were in Canada's position, but that these were ineffective ads, Then that night, its the reason for killing talks?

Scott Tribe -A proud "Ketchup Chip Nationalist" member @stribeprogblog.bsky.social · 1d

The government looks to be very carefully trying to not blame Doug Ford for any of this. Doug and Carney get along, so no doubt a tactic.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Over a speech in the public domain? They can try, I guess.

Either that, or the CEOs of Stellantis and GM just called up Trump in tears because Canada is hitting them with retaliatory tariffs on cars - because they betrayed a promise to Canada.

There's nothing untruthful about the ad. Trump's just having a hissy fit tonight.

There was never any deal to be had anyway, so this just pulls off the façade.

Trump says all trade negotiations between U.S. and Canada ‘terminated’ over anti-tariff ad

U.S. President Donald Trump says all trade negotiations with Canada are terminated over an anti-tariff ad using a clip of former U.S. president Ronald Reagan.

Good luck with the suit. US Courts have no jurisdiction here and the Canadian courts will laugh at it.

Trump's a big baby.

Trump is mad that Canada is putting its case directly to Americans. The commercial running in the US must be hurting. #cdnpoli #uspoli #tariffs

I'm not going to blame Doug for it. Something else is bothering Trump... he commented earlier on it and basically brushed it off. Maybe Carney informed him of something as I said in my own post he didn't like.. so he's using this as a pretense.

Scott Tribe -A proud "Ketchup Chip Nationalist" member @stribeprogblog.bsky.social · 2d

It has to be more then this; maybe Carney told him the F-35 deal was now halted or something.

Scott Tribe -A proud "Ketchup Chip Nationalist" member @stribeprogblog.bsky.social · 2d

Trump took more then the prescribed amount of his meds tonight, apparently.

Donald Trump just threw a late-night tantrum over an advertisement created by the Canadian province of Ontario, which featured Ronald Reagan’s REAL words expressing his dislike of tariffs. Trump says that, as a result, all trade negotiations with Canada are “HEREBY TERMINATED.”

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

It does seem curious that the "Justin Trudeau should be jailed" stuff didn't start until after everyone found out he and Katy Perry were a thing. Pierre's had plenty of time to bring out that card. He waited until now. Must need a distraction from a leadership review #cdnpoli
