Why are world leaders checkmating Donald Trump and calling him weak?
Furious world leaders are easily checkmating Donald Trump as it has become increasingly clear how utterly weak he is. You stare Donald Trump down, you push back, Donald Trump backs down. Exhibit A. Canada. Prime Minister Carney stared Donald Trump down. Trump threatened that he was going to impose 50% tariffs against Canada. The deadline, 11%. 759 on Tuesday evening. Prime Minister Carney said we'd rather do no deal than a bad deal. You want to cause mutually assured economic destruction, Donald? Be my guest. Canada will further retaliate. Donald Trump with little time to spare, tacoed. We always knew Donald Trump was going to do this. Trump gave in and posted the following message on his social media.
How did Canada force Trump to pause the 50% tariff threat?
Social media account. I have paused the 50% tariffs against Canada that were scheduled to kick in tomorrow morning for a three-day period based on the fact that Canada and the USA, subject to the finalization of documents, have a deal. The Great Keystone Pipeline, long ago killed by sleepy Joe Biden, may be awoken from the grave. Thank you for your attention to this matter. J. Trump, then he posts an AI meme late at night of himself holding the Keystone pipeline and showing how strong he is. I mean, how utterly pathetic can you get? I mean, you have to attack former President Biden. Then when you read what he says, is this a framework of a deal that may be awoken, Donald? Ooh, I guess we're gonna have to wait three days and then maybe a two-week.
extension and then maybe a month extension after that. Prime Minister Carney Was calm and confident throughout the negotiation. I think he always knew that Donald Trump would back down as Trump does his performative deal making. Look, what a great deal maker. I create the problems. I'm the arsonist. Then I pretend I fix the problems. And then I blame the former presidents of the United States. So utterly pathetic. That's exhibit A. Exhibit B, let's talk about what's going on in South. Korea right now.
What is the impact of Trump’s stance on South Korea and North Korea relations?
Donald Trump says that he wants to rekindle the flame, the summer romance with Kim Jong-un from years past. And Donald Trump orders Pete Heggsith, his Secretary of Defense. He says, Pete, we need to shut down United States military exercises with South Korea. Let's not treat South Korea like our ally, which they've been for a very long time. Long time. I'm personal friends with Kim Jong un. We used to send love letters together. So we want to get out of these military exercises. So Hegseth basically limits the existing exercises which are already taking place. Donald Trump further attacks South Korea and says, Why should we even help you at all? You didn't help us in our catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran.
So there Therefore, according to Trump's logic, and I don't mean actual logic, Donald Trump's like, let me promote North Korea, then, who brags about nuclear weapons and has been doing multiple ballistic missile tests showing its nuclear capabilities recently. Well done, Donald. And then Donald Trump wants to have a Kim Jong-un summit because Donald Trump wants to change the subject from how catastrophic. His war in Iran is diesel prices skyrocketing, as we said they would do, with the diesel crack spread. What over $100 a barrel right now? The price of gas over $4 a gallon right now. The price of diesel over $5 a gallon right now. With these dire conditions, Trump's like, can we talk about Kim Jong-un?
Let's bring back the character. character from my first term again. Again, so utterly pathetic. So what are they doing in South Korea? Well, at the foreign ministry level and at the president's level as well, planning meetings with China.
Why is the US considering a nuclear deterrent for South Korea after halting joint exercises?
Okay, Donald, you want to attack South Korea? We will then hold meetings at the foreign ministry level. Wang Yi, the Foreign Ministry of China, Foreign Minister of China, let's meet with the South Korea foreign minister. We'll meet at the president's level as well soon. And maybe South Korea should build up its nuclear arsenal. If you're going to promote Kim Jong-un and his nuclear weapons and you're not going to protect South Korea,
