Trump warns he could cause the ‘ruination’ of Canada

Quote:
Returning to his bellicose trade rhetoric, U.S. President Donald Trump warned Friday that he would cause the “ruination” of Canada if he imposed tariffs on Canadian-made cars.

Trump issued the threat during another day of North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations that did not produce a deal between the U.S. and Canada. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland continued to describe the talks as constructive but provided no details...

“I don’t want to do anything bad to Canada. I can — all I have to do is tax their cars, it would be devastating. If I tax cars coming in from Canada, it would be devastating,” he continued, according to a pool reporter travelling with him.

I can — all I have to do is tax their cars, it would be devastating,” Trump said. (Susan Walsh / AP)

Oh, I thought he said he could cause the rumination of the nation. You know: rumination, a sign that there’s bovine manure on the way.

I wonder if he is thinking if I nuke them the radiation blows into the blue states and I get rid of two problems at once and then nobody will mess with me. I would not put it past him.

Neither would I, but the radiation that gets Jersey and New Haven would also get Trump Tower, so I doubt it.

Of course, Trump could always stand ranting on the roof of Trump Tower and his bloviation would probably cause the radioactive cloud to diverge in his area, but then, Old Bone Spur wouldn't have the guts to try.
