Donald Trump concluded his trip to the Group of 7 (G7) economics conference in Canada with a combative, unscheduled statement in which he promised that the United States would no longer be the “piggy bank that everyone is robbing.”
Flanked by Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow and National Security Adviser John Bolton, Trump said the ultimate goal of U.S. trade policy was the elimination of tariffs and subsidies. But short of that, he also pledged the U.S. would raise its own trade barriers to combat unfair trade practices around the world.
“We’re like the piggy bank that everybody’s robbing and that ends,” Trump said.
Trump praised the G7 nations for what he described as their efforts to “take advantage” of weak U.S. leadership
“I blame our leaders and I congratulate leaders of other countries for taking advantage of our leaders,” Trump said. “It’s going to stop. Or we’ll stop trading with them. And that’s a very profitable answer, if we have to do it.”
Trump said that America’s trading partners would be making a mistake if they retaliated against new U.S. tariffs.

Yup!
God. I. Love. This. Man.
MAGA!!!!!!!
How much foreign “collusion” from these countries do you see happening in 2020 trying to help the professional politicians get the power back???
She’s Nasty!
I LOVE HIM!
THIS IS WHAT A MAN DOES!
The President is being very honest. These worldwide slackers have taken advantage of weak US Presidents for many decades. It will be interesting to see if any of these socialists and other miscreants call his “bluff”.
Give them hell, Trump. No wonder we are over 20 trillion in debt.
As Trump was leaving , he whispered to the snide talking Macron that there will be a $50 tariff on every bottle of French wine entering the United States.
Nevermind negotiate, no one ever talked to them.
Such a strong performance by PDJT right before he meets with Kim un … of North Korea sends a signal that the Nork ought not to think they can fool around with this man.
Donald Trump loves the USA. He will defend the USA. He will come to the aid of our friends. He will chastise them when appropriate. He will not suffer fools lightly. He will always be ten steps ahead of them, just like he is with the news media.
My favotite part of the press conference today was when Trump said he would know in one minute.
This is the BEST Photo of President Trump..this alone should get him re elected

Folks, we have the only “man” that cares in office.
brilliant.....just brilliant....
This picture of our POTUS with the other world leaders is priceless. The body language indicates that Japanese PM Abe is with our President. Now what exactly is it that Chancellor Merkel is trying to tell PDJT?
Also the only man who can not be bought!
