Navarro: ‘Special place in hell’ for Trudeau …..

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro lit into Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday, saying there's a "special place in hell" for a world leader who double crosses President Donald Trump.

"There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," Navarro told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "And that's what bad-faith Justin Trudeau did with that stunt press conference."

When asked whether the president shares his views, Navarro said the sentiment came “right from Air Force One.“ At the time of the interview, the president had just landed in Singapore for his upcoming summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

"To my friends in Canada, that was one of the worst political miscalculations of the Canadian leader in modern Canadian history," Navarro added. "All Justin Trudeau had to do was take the win."

Navarro added that the joint G-7 communique, a statement of shared beliefs that usually accompanies the close of the meeting, was a "socialist document." Trudeau told reporters that the statement was supported by every member, but Trump's Twitter message Saturday withdrew U.S. support for the communique.....snip~

What do you think about this Democrat Navarro that Trump is listening to on trade issues?

 

I absolutely love it!

Who the hell is Canada anyways.

Call them out every chance you get.

Go Trump team!

People kept complaining that they wanted honest politicians well here you go.

I guess many didn't actually want that, they would prefer to be lied to.

 

Seriously, people want to reform our entire system to have honest politicians and when they get one who tells them hourly what's on his mind they freak out and say its not presidential.

 

He is a clown and a drama queen. "Special place in Hell?" We are talking about a diplomatic meeting, right?

 

Where the leader of Canada slighted your president.

Apparently it wasn't that diplomatic to Trudeau.

 

Well, he is a Democrat from California. Can't get away from that fact of reality.

 

Well, Trump was telling the truth about Canada and their tariffs. Yet they are upset about a tariff on steel and aluminum. Trump should keep on hammering Canada about being dishonest.


After an internal study on a sample of 15,700 products, Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. found out that four out of five of the goods subject to duty that it imports face a higher tariff in Canada than in the United States. This difference translated into $8.4-million in extra costs in 2011 – costs that are amplified with sales taxes once the retailer passes them on to consumers.

Some of Canada's tariffs protect powerful industries, and even sacred cows. News that Ottawa is ready to increase the quantity of cheese that enters the country tariff-free in order to secure better access for Canada's beef and pork in Europe sent shock waves through the dairy industry this week.

Canadian consumers have been subsidizing the dairy industry since the 1970s through supply management, a complex system that relies on high tariffs to ensure rich and stable revenues to dairy farmers, whose fortunes have skyrocketed. The average dairy farm holds production quotas valued at a minimum of $2-million, according to a 2009 Conference Board of Canada study......snip~

Thanks for the link but it goes to my point that people just want to hate on Trump.

They have to make up things now because he is actually successful.

 

Like I keep telling folk, those other countries don't give a flaming rats ass about the U.S. and Americans! All we are to them is a source of financial gain, take that out of the equation and they wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire!

The leftist tout "Isolationists" but refuse to face the reality that we are already that! The only reason they "act" as if they are a friends is because we pick up the tab, tip and let them keep the change! Hell the proof is in the posts here from our foreign contributors, granted a few are respectful, but with the majority of them it's anti-Trump, half the voter base, gun owners, religious, working class or whatever U.S. political policy that satisfies their current hatred of us! Even though NONE of it effects them, it's just some sort of odd enjoyment foreigner feel entitled to do here on PF ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

 

You know the drill.....hang out with those with deep pockets and call them friend.

 

Yup, they always had the best stereo and weed! But when the weed runs out it was time to go

 

In Canada its.....take off, eh!

 

That's alright.....Trump don't mind having the last word.

 

Imagine that, an American President who puts America first....

What a FN novel idea....

 

We do some of the same things with farmers. Agriculture is a complicated thing to negotiate since there are protections and subsidies all throughout every country. Probably why it was separate from NAFTA. Every country has a cash crop they try to protect.

 

For imports exceeding the allowed limits, there is a 299-per-cent tariff on butter, a 246-per-cent tariff on cheese, and a 241-per-cent tariff on milk. All are plainly prohibitive.

300% on butter......Canada?

More likely it was separated from NAFTA, was do the Canucks making sure it wouldn't be part of NAFTA.


Actually, the government is looking into increasing tariffs for products coming from 72 different countries. Ottawa just undertook a review of the preferential tariff regime it implemented in the 1970s to help poor countries increase their exports and revenues. While it makes perfect sense to take out Brazil, China and Russia, now economic powerhouses, from the list of countries with preferential treatment, hitting countries like Peru, Tunisia or Thailand with stiffer tariffs appears unnecessarily harsh. Only Canadian consumers will hurt in the end.....snip~

Of course, Canada putting tariffs on whoever the hell they want to is alright. Just not when the US does it, huh?

 

Honestly, at this level of vitriol, I really don’t know how much longer Trump, has left in office. He’s asking for a very hard landing for himself.

The real reason his Wife won’t travel with him has nothing to do with her procedure and everything to do with her desire for self preservation. She simply does not want to be physically in his presence because of what she fears may happen next. I think that is far closer to the truth. They used to always talk about how healthy the Trumps were. How physically fit they were. How much physicsl stamina they all had.

Trump, is now walking down the stairs leaving Airforce One, looking like he’s paranoid on the way down. His facial expressions in public away from the White House are now completely different. His face looks anticipatory and his body language reeks of uncertainty.

This man is pushing the edge of the envelope and making enemies almost everywhere he goes, with the exceptions of North Korea and Russia. They seem to love him. I wonder why the stated enemies of the US, are now embracing a sitting US president.

There is a very strange feeling in the air right now surrounding this particular president. He’s got Angela Merkel, standing over him in a very awkward photo for a man who is supposed to be the master of “appearances.”

That photo makes the US look like the 500 pound child in the room, not the 500 pound Gorilla.

Wow! Just, WOW!

 

MAGA, go PRESIDENT Trump. Go let the parasites suck off some other host...

 

Not surprised you stand with little potato Trudeau attacking the US after a successful G7 negotiation in good faith.

 

Is any of that the real point? Or, is the real point not to start a tariff war with allies during an economic expansion phase. Leadership 101, says the latter, not the former is the truth.

There is a time and place for everything. The higher probability is that Trump’s policies flatten economic expansion here at home and to the detriment of his stated goal of Making Merica Great Again. He could off-set the trade imbalance by investing in industry right here at home AND preaching the gospel of Innivation.

He will not close the trade deficits by throwing around tariffs like they were darts. If we made better products the world would demand them. If we focused on longer term Trade Partner Building with developing nations, we would have more exports, more revenues and actual trade balance surpluses in growing economic environments. We are doing none of that and thus, we are stuck with deficits and bad deals.

Trump, simply does not understand what he’s doing and he’s pushing wreckless policies as proof of that fact.

 

Abe of Japan noticed Merkels disrespect. His expression towards the EU Alleged Elites says it all.

 

You didn't think the best time to put tariffs on others is when an economy is floundering.....Did you?

So you think the Demo trade advisor is giving trump bad advise, Right? Do you think the Demo is deliberately trying to screw Trump and the US over?

 

We tax their timber at rates up to 24%, and that is a larger business. And be careful about mentioning the emerging markets tariffs, you know Trump is eyeing those.

Of course all of this seems to be about supercharging inflation more Han the price of milk.

 

Look, this is not the right time in our own economic history to be going after this. I know the current deals suck. I get that. However, we are doing the exact same thing to other countries that Trump, is now slamming Canad for doing. That’s hypocritical across the board.

Invest here at home. Stop going for the quick fix - there is no quick fix that will last when another country can control your imports with a ballpoint pen. Make America Great Again by Making America Innovate Again. When you have the better product, people will recognize and demand it. When you sell crap, you can expect less market share.

Did he really think Tarriffs were the answer? I mean, really? Seriously?

They will simply create a compensating balance somewhere else and WE end up paying the difference at checkout. How do you solve the problem? Get them hooked on superior products and then demand new trade agreements. How do you demand anything with a weak hand? Is he playing poker? I don’t want a president playing poker with my economy.

You fix trade deficits with superior product. That’s a real fix. That’s a fix that will stand the test of time. I just bought a new SUV and paid cash for it. Guess what I did not buy? I did not buy from an US company. Why? Because I did my homework before buying and I wanted QUALITY AND INNOVATION. That’s why. Given my needs, the best made vehicle was not US originated by far.

Are buyers in other countries any different after doing their homework? No. They want quality and innovation just like I do. Could the US offer them that? No. We are too busy manufacturing golden Parachutes for executives, bonus packages that don’t make any sense and rising stock prices by squeezing margins and killing Innovation. We want products that are dirt cheap, yet we demand higher salaries because our cost of living continues to rise.

And, you wonder why nobody wants our stuff overseas?

Tarriffs, now, are a bad idea. Where is his leverage for Tarriffs now. You need leverage for Tarriffs. Did they not teach him that fact at Wharton School of Business?

 

Nobody wants our stuff overseas because of their high tariffs
