I said, Wrong, Justin, you do. I didnt even know I had no idea. I just said, Youre wrong.
That, as reported by The Washington Post, was Donald Trump boasting during a private fund-raising dinner about lying to Justin Trudeau, prime minister of Canada, our northern neighbor and closest ally.
When caught in the lie, Trump did what Trump does: Repeats the lie, louder, stronger, and more stridently.
After the lie was reported, Trump tweeted:
We do have a Trade Deficit with Canada, as we do with almost all countries (some of them massive). P.M. Justin Trudeau of Canada, a very good guy, doesnt like saying that Canada has a Surplus vs. the U.S. (negotiating), but they do they almost all do and thats how I know!
By the way, here is PolitiFacts fact-check of Trumps claim:
In 2017, the United States had a $23.2 billion deficit with Canada in goods. In other words, the United States in 2017 bought more goods from Canada than Canada bought from the United States.

Charles Blow blows!! An incredibly stupid piece of excrement he is.
Said the Nazi sympathizers...
He lied? Trump lied? Now, THAT is news worthy indeed.
Hillary lied.
Obama lied.
Comey lied.
Brennan lied.
McCabe lied.
McAuliffe lied.
INSERT ANY DEMOCRAT HERE lied.
Their mouth moves, they lie. They breathe...they lie.
They way I see it, Trump was just trying to make him feel at home by lying to him or any other Democrat, because that is what they do.
One sentence to remember: if you have a doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Blow is the house affirmative action hire. A graduate of Grambling a school that does not even register on the scale of academic achievement, he is probably the only NYT writer without a J school degree. He is a fake who will be the guy they ask to switch off the lights as the only one left when the Times finally dies off. What he says is what massa want him to say.
The one thing about Trumps’ lies is: They affect essentially nobody. The one thing about 0bamas’ lies: They affect EVERYbody.
Another Lewinsky.
Charles Blow —NY TIMES affirmative action hire.
Trump was correct, the trade deficit is Canada - $582 billion traded with an $18 billion deficit.
They had to add another category, services, to make it seem that Trump was wrong. But he was not. Trump said trade deficit and he was correct.
MSM expects to be rewarded for covering up truth only to end up unemployed.
No that would of been Obama, the 1st Anti American President.
Is Trump right about a U.S. trade deficit with Canada? It depends who you ask

So, you can be an American Nationalist and Un-American at the same time, wow.
