Trump Roars Again on Trade, Reviewing Steel and Chiding Canada

“He’s manically focused on these trade issues,” 
Stephen K. Bannon,

Manically?
As in this?

Manically
 in a manner that suggests insanity

Thanks, Steve! With Friends like that,,,,,,

BTW, The election is over. You won. If you don't like NAFTA, why haven't you had a summit with Mexico and Canada and put Trade negotiators in a room these last 90 days?
Stop campaigning and do something.

"Roar"? More like Howl.
Trump is like my dog. She stands in the from yard barking at the world as it goes by. But she never bites.



Trump Roars Again on Trade, Reviewing Steel and Chiding Canada

WASHINGTON — President Trump added a new name Thursday to the list of countries he accuses of preying on American workers and exploiting naïve American trade policies: Canada.

“What they’ve done to our dairy farm workers is a disgrace,” Mr. Trump said as he ordered a sweeping investigation into whether steel imports are harming America’s national security. “We can’t let Canada or anybody else take advantage and do what they did to our workers and to our farmers.”

Mr. Trump admitted he was going off script because the steel order is aimed at more familiar trade boogeymen like China and Japan. But his outburst in the Oval Office toward a friendly neighbor punctuated a week when tough talk on trade took center stage in a White House deeply divided over how aggressively to erect the trade barriers that Mr. Trump promised during his campaign.

From Mr. Trump’s “buy American, hire American” rallying cry in Wisconsin this week to Vice President Mike Pence’s warnings to Japan and South Korea about the need to rewrite trade deals, the Trump administration is moving against free trade on multiple fronts. A senior White House official said there would be two trade-related events a week for the next few weeks.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
