that then Trump in this deranged state said he's now doing 100% tariffs on Canada.
This is after he threatened countries with 30% tariffs if they didn't allow him to invade Greenland.
And then he made up a fake deal with Greenland and Denmark that he claimed would give him spots of sovereignty within Greenland that Greenland and Denmark never agreed to coming out of Davos where he confused Greenland with Iceland.

chess moves while Donald Trump is out there playing checkers in the Oval Office saying, what's this on my head?
