    Trump has a history of "backing down" when his threats don't work and leaders will be more "resistance" to his tariff than he assumes, says a former Australian trade negotiator and diplomat Dmitry Grozoubinski.

      Canada is so critical for the US national security, it should have never been allowed to be a separate independent nation. Existence of Canada outside of US jurisdiction and control is a massive failure by the CIA. The CIA needs to be revamped to work better and understand what Manifest Destiny actually means.

Particularly at a time when the democracies need to stick together. US likely will continue deficits due to the strength of the dollar resulting from its position as a reserve currency. Morons found their voice in Trump and will likely be disproportionately impacted by the rise in prices.
