Trade Wars are never good. Someone has pointed out that Trumps view of International Trade seems to date from 200 years ago.
Supposed White House insiders say he did it because he was in a bad mood about Kushner troubles and other stuff

The Canadians are planning to hit the top industrys of the swing states with tariffs which will either work well come November or backfire spectacularly

Why on Bourbon its the only thing i drink why couldnt they put it on Golf !!!! that would really hurt him !!!

I did look at this, and had a good laugh. "Trump won't criticise Russia", so he must be a Communist quisling!?

I mean, it all depends who you ask, dunnit?

Here's the Wishy-washy Post:

Quote:‘Pure madness’: Dark days inside the White House as Trump shocks and rages

And then there's the BBC (!) view:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43276466

Quote:US President Donald Trump joked about White House "chaos" and poked fun at his aides and wife in a light-hearted speech at an annual dinner on Saturday.
"Nobody does self-deprecating humour better than I do," he told politicians and journalists in Washington DC.

Fake News! Show me one quote that accuses him of being communist (and maybe look up the definition of 'quisling', when your at it... )

In other news, May has phoned him to express 'deep concern'. I bet he's quaking in his shoes now...

That he wont criticise them isn't really the issue, that he failed to sign sanctions passed by the country's legislative body, has not instructed his Intelligence and Security chiefs to counter act Russian interference and that it looks that he laundered money for them through his real estate investments that is the issue

Funny how you skipped past all the major things on focused on the tiniest least damning of Trumps Russia shenanigans

Well, let's ask Wikipedia:

Quote:Quisling (/ˈkwɪzlɪŋ/; Norwegian pronunciation: [²kvisliŋ]) is a term originating in Norway, which is used in Scandinavian languages and in English for a person who collaborates with an enemy occupying force – or more generally as a synonym for traitor.

Or are you telling me that a man who supposedly becomes US President thanks to "foreign power" hacking and then won't repudiate them in any way, shape or form doesn't count as a traitor

Sorry, all I saw was a repetition of past crimes in lieu of anything new to say Hence my admittedly futile linking.

Ah well, if you're going to include synonyms...

The Oxford English Dictionary Wrote:quisling

Second World War: from the name of Major Vidkun Quisling (1887–1945), the Norwegian army officer and diplomat who ruled Norway on behalf of the German occupying forces (1940–45).
Pronunciation
quisling/ˈkwɪzlɪŋ/

You really are in complete denial over the whole Russia thing. I hear there are a few vacancies in the Whitehouse, you'd be an ideal candidate
