Just once, just absolutely once, I would like someone to ask Trump on camera how he thinks international trade works. Like, maybe, do an experiment with monopoly money and toy cars. "Ok, Donald, let's pretend I'm Canada and you're the US."

Trump: “If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word ‘Deficit’ is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS.”

Trump: Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word "Deficit" is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS. We are "carrying" almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP 6 ReTruths 10 Likes 9/16/26, 1:38 PM

The Trump administration has used secretive agreements to deport over 23,000 immigrants to third countries where have no ties and may face persecution. Increasingly, immigrants are being dropped into conflict zones, attacked, or sent back to the countries they fled.

Trump Has Deported Thousands in Third Country Removals

Through a growing number of deportation agreements, the Trump administration is sending detained individuals to countries where they have no ties.

I genuinely have no idea what this means. How do we gain 50 billion dollars if we don't trade? How does having less economic activity create money? In what way would we possibly gain money? Even in a completely illiterate sense of not understanding anything about trade this doesn't make any sense.

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

Reminder again that the President of the United States has no idea what a trade deficit is — a concept taught in high school econ. He thinks that if the US buys $500 of goods and services from Canada, and Canada buys $400 of goods and services from the US, we have “lost” $100.

according to politico, since Jan. 2025, Trump admin has deported 170+ people “in violation of court orders,” “in defiance of legally mandated due process protections,” or “to countries from which they had sought or received protection from torture and persecution” ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

The Trump Justice Department Is Way Too Comfortable Violating Court Orders

Judges have tools for responding to noncompliance. They just have to use them.

CBC reports Trump signed a memo to identify and remove Canadian goods from U.S. federal procurement, worth about $1.6B US annually. It follows new 50% tariffs and product bans. Provinces limited U.S. bidders; Washington calls it levelling the field. Escalation continues.

Putin puppet Trump issued another fiat against Canada, this one directing the identification and removal of Canadian goods from United States federal government procurement. By breaking the USA-CAN alliance, Trump is acting as a weapon of russia’s “divide and conquer” war against the West.
