Trump wanted these statement to be “leaked”.

Canada is soooo screwed.

In the article they state they can’t confirm the remarks for certain. Bloomberg won’t confirm or deny. What kind of bush league “journalistic” bs is this?

I’m only disappointed that he didn’t use the phrase “Little Justin”.

If you want a message sent in a way that you can deny, just tell a reporter and make him promise not to leak it.

Could be an attempt to put spot light on Trump to deflect attention from Trudeau’s failures at home.

I find that very hard to believe.

I don’t think Trump wants a deal with Canada. Their dairy mafia has about as many voters as the auto plants. He has boxed the Canadians in. We get back the auto stuff and they keep their dairy stuff. As a percent of GDP dairy is minuscule.

Agreed. At least the National Enquirer and other supermarket rags from time to time admit to making up their material.

Prediction - By the end of the day, there will be a deal on Trump’s and The US terms.

It's probably true...Trump uses Bloomberg to tweak the Canadians.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg gets egged as unreliable.

A Twofer.

Get this straight everyone....

Reagan, Clinton, Bushes & Obama have all been GENTLEMANLY in dealing with trade issues. The result is we have $800 BILLION YEARLY deficits.

Fair trade deals will happen not because we are “nice” to our trading partners. They will happen if we have the courage and endurance to impose stiff tariffs on imported goods from trade deficit countries. We can tolerate the cost, NONE of them can tolerate the cost.

For example China has $400 Billion average trade surplus with us. If that goes away, 40 MILLION Chinese workers (average manufacturing wage $10k) will laid off. Those 40 million support 80 million service workers.

If 120 million Chinese workers are laid off, president Xi will be seeking asylum in North Korea, to avoid the rioting lynch mobs. China can not afford tariff wars with us!

Good, I do not want compromise. Our game, our cards and we have all the chips. They can go home and tell the wife they lost the house.

Trump knew they would report it. He’s playing them.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump anticipated that they’d leak it. Sound like a negotiating tactic.

That’s what he promised, that’s what I voted for.
It’s way past time after the last FOUR feckless Presidents, the last not even Constitutionally eligible, that we had a President who stands up for America and Americans.

the Canadian vote

~~~

you jest, but I wonder who checks to out-of-state voter records after the fact to assure that the genuine out of state voter is who they said they were? My understanding that identities are not verified in some states.

“and where are you from?” -New Hampshire poll official

“Fort Lauderdale Florida, or there abooots” - (non Canadian) out of state voter

Trump wanted it to leak. Why do you think it was Bloomberg? He wants to make Truedope lose so much face that it would be impossible for him to sign up. 25% tariff is so much easier and our auto plants come back.
