Canada is screwed, they have no leverage. He's just pissed that he's not receiving our 250 billion dollars. Why are we giving them our money?

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.
Analyzes trade imbalances under USMCA, border economics, and argues that Canada benefited unfairly while America fell behind economically.

will the costs of the goods go down or will they go up?\n\nit seems to me that there will be a winner and that will be the person who is already winning, not the average person. the wealthy have picked a pretty face to whisper sweet nothings to the public while they do everything they can to gorge themselves on us; their cattle.\n\nwe live in little boxes with water treated with chlorine and ammonia and only a short amount of time in the sun. hardly enough sun to grow your own vegetables or enough room to graze your own cattle.\n\nchlorine and ammonia inhibit the growth of plants

Poor countries are unfree and have higher malnutrition. That causes lower IQs. It’s why North Korea has lower IQs than South Korea. IQs are not fixed in stone. North Korean IQs improve when they escape to South Korea.
And Canada’s immigration program is selective. Funny how racists like to pretend that immigration isn’t selective. It’s to prevent immigrants from being on welfare more than the citizen population, which is how it should be.
Higher-skilled workers are mostly chosen to immigrate. They make good money through their skills, and are giving back to the country through paying taxes. This includes Africans, especially Christian ones. This guy isn’t fully using his head, ironically.
Defends Canada's selective immigration policy by arguing higher-skilled immigrants contribute economically through taxes and wages.
