Speechless.
Can anyone find any concrete links to this? This sounds like fake news. Surely it can't be true.
Reminder: Trump's support amongst Republican voters is at its highest point ever, and continues to rise. The GOP will tie their entire hopes in the mid-terms to Trump like policies, because it plays well with the base.
This is at the same time he and his administration is introducing SS-like immigration enforcement (have that Republican 'live free or die' folks!); lying weekly about his affair with a porn star while his pregnant wife was at home (have that Republican bible-thumpers); entering the US into a trade war that even his own White House economic council advises will be bad for America (have that free trade Republican conservatives!); violating the emoluments clause daily (have that law and order Republicans!); and has lowered the standards asked of a President to: 'well he managed to speak in full sentences today and only lied twice this hour' (there you go 'best and brightest' Republican supporters).
I have no idea who is running Fox news these days, but whoever the evil f*cking scumbag is, I really, really hope he's Russian. Because if not this all makes no sense. He has basically ruined his own country, reducing it to the lowest common denominator. And for what? Advertising revenue? At least let this be some huge plot.

Said by the guy who is raising tariffs on things we get from other countries...
I know that he is just singing for his audience but maybe that tax exist because they don't want your milk. And you are right to make that distinction, Canada puts tariffs on things they don't want while Trump do it on things that US consumers want. Not fair on Americans!
Is American milk of a lower quality or something? Why would the average Canadian not want cheaper milk?
Generally there are two reasons for barriers to entry, protect your own industry and sanitary reasons(drugs allowed by a market and not allowed or recommended in an other). In this case it's probably the former.
It may be to protect their industry from cheaper, but much lower quality US products. The shit we pump into our cows in the US is very worrying.
That's my understanding that most farming products have lower quality but I'm not comfortable claiming it while not being in the US. Do you actually see/feel the difference?
Definitely. Especially now that I'm in Italy and eating amazing, tasty food.
Watch Food Inc.
Our food “industry” is psychotic.
Our food “industry” is psychotic.
We also pay more for lower quality in every food group.
Maybe US milk is sold in cartons and not plastic bags and that's a concept that the Canadian's simply can't understand.
Love how I always learn about these little things here.Maybe US milk is sold in cartons and not plastic bags and that's a concept that the Canadian's simply can't understand.
Canadians buying milk in a bag, wierdo's.

I'm almost sure that milk in plastic is a canadian thing too. I seem to remember it.
Edit: Damn, that's what you said.
Once way he'd a programme about how America produces some meat and dairy products.
Wasn't pretty.

That was a big takeaway I had from my 3 week trip to the UK, RoI, and France a few years ago.
1) the food was cheaper
2) the food was better
I feel ever so slightly embarrassed about it now, but back before I went on my first trip to the states ten years ago, I asked a friend from Texas in a worried tone of voice, "... but will I be able to eat any decent food there?"
Of course it wasn't as bad as that, but it was remarkably hard to find bread that didn't have sugar in it, for example.
Edit: On another note, driving through Texas and seeing cattle farming there was bizarre. Our thoughts looking at the barren land they were farmed in was "What are they feeding them to be able to survive out here?"
Then when you can find good quality food here, it’s so expensive you just end up hungry.
What part of Texas?
We were all over the country, on tour a few times. That one was travelling from San Diego to Austin. Lots of other interesting sights on that way too which I remember all the time given the current state of affairs, like looking from El Paso into Juarez, border walls and warning signs to people crossing the border. It might be my imagination now because it's been a few years, but I feel like we even saw some people getting arrested in the middle of nowhere.
Never quite made it to your neck of the woods though, always kind of skirted around it.
It shouldn't be the sort of thing you have in place when you have a Free Trade agreement.
He definitely will.
This would be a great time for a new round of indictments from Mueller.
That site seems to be behind a paywall. But doing a little research, Forbes estimated Trump's wealth at $3.5bn when he took office. I do remember reading many years ago, when I barely knew who he was, that he was worth $8bn
I have serious doubts about all this latter day revisionism. I suspect Trump would be allowed to be a billionaire in peace if he was a Democratic president. But for a man who has a gold-plated lavatory, exaggerating his wealth would hardly be out of character.
Use an incognito tab. That story is literally about how he bluffed his way to those same Forbes estimates. It's not revisionism, it's investigative journalism.
How deranged must you be to pick a fight with fecking Canada, your biggest trading partner and ally.
Might be a dumb question, but pardon him for what?
Wasn’t Ali a draft dodger (for ethical reasons rather than just a cowardice spoiled child) too and that’s what he’ll be pardoned for?
To me that sounds like another dog-whistle.
Draft evasion back in the 60s.
I thought that was overturned?
Seems like a bit of a transparent move for cadet bonespurs to pardon a fellow draft dodger in any case.
