President Reagan's Radio Address to the Nation on Tarrifs, 1987

(www.youtube.com)

Trump just announced 10% additional tariffs on Canada for not pulling Ontario ad that uses this address earlier!

too low, how shameful to do just 10%, a real President would do 750% minimum… bad times to be an American :)

I have to wonder why some enterprising Democrat doesn't run an ad with this clip, with language talking about how thin-skinned Trump is, and how the Republican party has lost its core principles.

What can Trump do? Get mad? That will drive the politician who does this to prominence! Surely someone wants to get their name out on the national stage? And while it costs money to start, I'm sure that lots will want to donate if they see Trump getting unhappy with it!

And it's a strategy that can be repeated over and over again until Trump learns to stop trying to use threats to censor free speech. Which hopefully takes a while.

Canada cannot stop it, Ontario could/did but this whole debacle from February on has been such a distraction from real problems and a drain on real work.

Some of my relatives and friends had reservations about women being too emotional to be put in the highest office of the country (or defacto leader of the west world). Trump proves that men in power are as emotional as women if not more.

I think this has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with mental health.

Trump acting like a 10 yo. Nothing new.

The people who support him love that about him.

Not anymore! Ask farmers and ranchers: how they feel about their vote now :-)

Do you have a reference for this?

https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-sil... shows me that, while a lot of people strongly disapprove of Trump, he retains a very strong base of over 40% of likely voters. And his overall approval rating is pretty typical for a US President at this point in their term.

After wiping out soybean market, now he’s after beef! Asking farmers to reduce prices. Shows again, how clueless he’s about everything!

He won last election on a fragile coalition which doesn’t exist anymore today. So, if elections are held today, he’d not only lose but will also get buried deep down.
