Can't blame Trump. It wasn't his week to watch Trudeau. How completely spineless.

Like the Paris Agreement on Global Warming — if the US doesn’t play, then nothing seems to go anywhere.

Trump understands our power. I bet he knew TPP would die when we pulled out. He didn’t have to make a prediction. He’s just watching it unfold.

Wanna bet?....this is exactly why Canada didn't sign...

Informal talks:... Trump speaks to Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (right), Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto (second left), New Zealand's prime minister Jacinda Ardern

Canada’s trade is 75% with the US and they have a trade surplus with us. So TPP was likely to be a benefit for the Kannuks and a loss for us. Good show Mr. President. Besides, Trudeau would gag a maggot. He’s a Obama “look alike!”

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” The Canadians criticize Pres. Trump, but copy every move he’s made.
