Justin Trudeau Teaches Trump Lesson On Tariffs, Cabinet Drama Erupts

As Canada's PM urges Donald not to follow through with his counterproductive tariffs, Donald takes a wrecking ball to America's institutions

Over the weekend, Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, broke bread with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to explain how tariffs work and why imposing them would also harm America’s economy.

I know Trudeau received a lot of flack for this trip, but to be fair, he has to play the game — and play to Trump’s ego — if he wants to ensure Trump doesn’t do anything crazy like “liberate Canada” as Lauren Boebert once proposed.

Hopefully, Trudeau talked some sense into Trump about abandoning his inflationary 25% tariffs.

Technically, Trump is barred from traveling to Canada as a convicted felon — yet another reason Trudeau had to visit Mar-a-Lago.
