More from the same interview.
Here he talks about the violent and dangerous “authoritarian left”.

This guy can never be PM.

This is him speaking candidly in a friendly room. This is the real Poilievre.

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

Nearly every Pentagon reporter from almost every major media outlet in America turned in their press badges today, after refusing to endorse the Defense Department's new rules that they say would make it impossible to do their jobs independently.

"A dark day": Pentagon confiscates badges of Defense reporters

The Pentagon Press Association said the move raises public accountability concerns and weakening free speech.

I’m not an intelligence guy, but how is a front page NYT story “covert?” Aren’t we supposed to, like, NOT alert them? Or does “secret authorization” mean something else?

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.
