I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?

Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “... Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.

By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.

Just like how noone was punished for the great recession as corporations grabbed people's homes. They are salivating over the idea of doing that at a massive scale.
