Donald Trump’s latest broadside at Canada was theatrical and absurd even by his own standards. In a Truth Social post this weekend, the US President threatened to slap “a 100 % tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.” if Ottawa “makes a deal with China”. He warned that “China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life”. He even called Prime Minister Mark Carney “Governor Carney”, deploying a jab he previously reserved for Justin Trudeau and alluding to his unfulfilled fantasy of Canada becoming America’s 51st state.
TDS ahead.
