Sigh... Couldn't bring myself to include the Truth Social post on this (linked in the article anyway).

Trump's threat to block Gordie Howe bridge divides Michigan leaders

Some warn a delay could hamper progress on trade, jobs and border security.

Trump’s going to go ballistic over this tariff vote, and you can count on him trying to just disregard Congress on it.

Today, Republicans failed to block action on Trump’s Canada tariffs — a win for Colorado workers, families, and small businesses. These tariffs raise costs and hurt local businesses. We are close to repealing this failed policy for good.

A better solution: Rename it the Donald J. Trump Bridge and leave it in the state depicted below, as a symbol of the friendship between the US and Canada.

It must take a lot of patience and grace on the part of 🇨🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to deal with a President of the U.S. who is clearly not knowledgable about most things he blurts out on his social media posts.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.

There is no other way to put it: Donald Trump is an ignoramus. I’ve said It before and I’ve tried to tone it down a bit. But when all is said and done, I have to conclude that the current president of the USA is not only incompetent, but mindless. #MAGA wake up! www.threads.com/@femmmmooo/p...
