Trump's Tariff Remarks Continue To Cause Controversy

not do that. He tried to overthrow the government, and in the end a plurality of Americans forty nine percent said no big deal. And so he will take office, and he will sign pardons, and every seditionist who participated in the riot, in the coup and the insurrection will walk out of prison, not just free, but a maga hero, a martyr. On July fourth, twenty twenty six, Donald Trump will be on the north portico of the White House watching the fireworks explode over the Washington Monument two one

hundred and fifty years ago. And the men, mostly men who were revered from that moment when the shot was heard around the world, when the revolution began. They will be compared to the January sixth criminals, and the comparison will be made from the White House. The age of desecration is underway and Donald Trump's presidency will need to

be opposed effectively, fiercely, and in a sustained manner. The Democratic Party as it is is flat on its back, and there are some lessons to be gleaned from how people are responding to Donald Trump in these early days that preface his return to power. The Canadian example is fascinating. Now Here is what Justin Trudeau said in the aftermath of Donald Trump's threat to impose a twenty five percent tariff on every good coming across the Canadian border. I

just drove across that border the other day. The traffic was backed up for two and a half hours, tractor trailers trying to bring commerce from the Canadian side to the US side. This is what global trade looks like, and it has made our countries too of the richest

in the world. But Trudeau is correct when he says a twenty five percent tariff on Canadian goods would be devastating for Canada, every Canadian, and in fact, many many millions of Americans, the three million American jobs that are dependent on it, the border stateonomies Michigan, New York, Ohio. All of these economies are interlinked. So this threat by Trump to instigate a massive trade war disrupting the trillion

dollar economy in North America is a very serious thing. Now, what Justin Trudeau did is proof that most people drown not because they can't swim, rather because they panic. And the very unpopular Canadian Prime minister either panicked or saw an opportunity to rehabilitate his low pole standings by going toe to toe with Trump. Now there's a strategic maxim that applies here. It's by the Chinese strategic master Sun Su, and it says, when outmatched, bring the tiger to the cave.

If you think about it, hunting a tiger which can jump twenty two feet in a single leap and run it over forty miles an hour in the wide open, it's a very difficult endeavor if you're a single person. But if you can lure the faster, the stronger, the more fearsome tiger to an enclosed space, his advantages will be diminished. Thus the maxim went outmatched, bring the Tiger to the cave. But for Justin Trudeau, the cave was not Mara A Lago. He went to mar A Lago

as a supplicant, not as a G seven peer. He went for politics and he got his ass handed to him. And now he has been taunted because Donald Trump has contempt for weakness, he has no empathy for it whatsoever. And all of this accumulated up through the manifest disrespect that Trump showed to our ally Canada, into every Canadian when he tweeted this the other night. Now, the leader of the Canadian opposition is a man named Pierre Palief. He is likely to be the next Canadian Prime minister.

Now he's a member of the Conservative Party, but he's not the best Conservative politician in Canada. That's Doug Ford. He's the premier or the governor of Ontario, and Ontario is where Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America. And this is what Doug Ford said responding to Donald Trump's tweet targeting Justin Trudeau.

him for doing is not appeasing Trump fast enough. And this is the problem with the philosophy of appeasement. It's the philosophy that says I will feed the crocodile and hope he eats me least. But in the end, it is a strategy that gets you eaten by the crocodile. And that is what must be avoided because in forty days there must be an opposition to Donald Trump. Let me show you this video of Chuck Schumer. This is the highest ranking Democrat in the United States right now.

For the next two years. He will command the overwhelming amount of resources as he has in the twenty four cycle and in the twenty two cycle, and in the twenty cycle, and in the eighteen cycle and in the sixteen cycle. He is the general who has maneuvered the Democrats into their current predicament. How is he going to do communicating against Donald Trump? Let's watch everybody. Wasn't that a great rollcal Now, just let me hear you if you're ready for president Kamala Harris simple truth is not

good enough. And yet he will remain the Senate leader, the Democratic leader, Jamie Harrison, Well, what he said is the Democratic Party needs to hold on to its pronouns, to its identity politics, to bad brand Donald Trump ate. It is it really what we want to lose democracy over all of these identity politics issues, because there's something that should be appreciated. That's happening in America right now. There is a confluence. There is a great capitulation that

is occurring by America's power class. They are getting in line, as we talked about, and as I predicted, as quickly as they possibly can. At the same time, Donald Trump is not backing down from any of the threats that

he is making. And what this is creating is a frustration and a rage and an anger, the same type in two thousand and nine that created the Tea Party movement, and the question in this moment, as we see the millennial cheers, the widespread praise for vigilantism, for an assassination, cold blooded man was shot in the back on a sidewalk, unarmed, allegedly by a privileged twenty six year old of a family more powerful and more wealthy than most every American

can conceivably comprehend. And he killed a man, gunned him down like an animal, and put aside whatever you may think of the American healthcare system. I'd like to show you a clip between Piers Morgan and Taylor Lorenz, the former New York Times and Washington Post star, and Piers Morgan is going to ask a question that seems quite appropriate to me, and the question he's going to ask, I'm going to show you, now.

there is a lot of dynamism between the parties. Now. Donald Trump in forty days, with all of his threats and all of his bluster and all of his authoritarian zeal is looking for an excuse to deploy the military to do whatever. He's made the threats, and I've talked about it for two NonStop years. So today I'm not going to warn about Donald Trump. I'm not going to warn about his threats because we talk about them every day.

I'm going to talk about a different threat and the choice the American people will surely made, because they've made it so many times in the past, we know what it will be and we don't have to wonder about it.

If Taylor Lorenz of Hobart College and Greenwich kinetic when she talks about her pain and suffering with her shit eating grin from ear to ear, talking about well, excuse me my lack of empathy for the gundown man murdered like a fucking animal on a New York sidewall, the American people will do what the German people did some eighty years ago. They will look between two terrible, noxious choices.

They will look to the left and they will see Taylor Lorenz, and they will see her as an extension of the chaos and the riots and the defund the police, and the cheering for the murder of babies and savagery and all of the extremism that she represents, and then they'll look at Trump, and they'll look back at her, and they'll look at Trump. And in this country, the choice will be Trump to protect the society from the likes of that, and there will be no exception to

that choice. The American people will make it every single time. What has always been understood in America by anybody who gets the history of the country, who appreciates it's the national fabric, the culture, the character. America will never be a far left Jacobin's society. The threat of it, though, will give us a fascist one. And here we are across social media. The fire is too big to ignore, the calls to a savage mayhem of vigilantism, the decay

of order. The morality that Taylor Lorenz is talking about is not morality.

This is the most important speech ever given on American soil. Watch it this recreation of it, the Gettysburg Address.

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, We cannot consecrate, We cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never

forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which

they here gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
