"Halloween came early for Donald Trump. Ronald Reagan spooked him. Trump had a startled reaction to the TV ad that appeared during the first game of the World Series, placed by the provincial government of Ontario, featuring excerpts from President Reagan’s radio talk in April 1987 in which he explained the danger of trade wars. 'Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,' Trump posted. It was, he falsely claimed, a 'serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act'. In retaliation, he slapped an additional 10% tariff on Canada.
Trump was apparently horrified at the sudden presence of the ghost of conservatism past, who had kept the outlandish bounder at arm’s length and whom Trump regarded warily if not nervously. Reagan was the original, bigger and more successful performer, whose appeal was as the harbinger of morning in America, not the grim reaper of a zombie nightfall. Canada is being punished for Trump’s fright."
For an ad correcting the MF's lies on tariffs using an accurate clip of Reagan's remarks opposing tariffs, the American people will have to pay more for Canada's products. Sadly, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, normally someone who has stood up to the MF, acknowledged that he apologized to the MF for the ad. Let's have no more apologizing for telling the truth to the biggest, most habitual liar on Earth, shall we?
