I couldn’t be more pleased with Trump’s tariffs, anything that brings Trudeau to his knees, scrambling for answers, is a step in the right direction.
Trudeau is delusional enough to believe that Trump’s recent actions will somehow drive Canadians to seek solutions from him. But given his track record, who in their right mind would turn to him for leadership?
