The Left Again Tries to Lie About Trump’s Correct Decision to Reshape the US Relationship with Canada
The playbook the Democrats used during Trump’s successful first term isn’t working anymore. While the left attempted in the past to claim the President was racist, xenophobic, and incompetent, the lying and gaslighting aren’t working anymore. The American people saw 4 years of successful and competent governance by Trump, and 12 years of incompetence by Obama and Biden, and the country went with MAGA. Trump won in 2024 for a number of reasons, but one of the main factors was the lack of credibility of the failing legacy press and most of the media who have continually lied and misled the public about the President and his policies.
The left likes false narratives, not real facts, and the absurd claims Democrats make about women supposedly making less money than men for doing the same work. This is why some on the left’s criticism of Trump’s recent approach to Canada is again another example of how the Democrat’s pathetic attempts to attack the President and his policies. Trump is right on Canada as he is correct in general. The United States currently has a 37 billion dollar trade deficit with Canada. While in some cases a country as wealthy as the US will have deficits with poorer countries who provide goods and services US citizens need, there is no reason for the US to be subsidizing Canada by important basic goods such as aluminum and steel that we produce at significant levels in this country right now. America is already paying to protect Canada, the northern neighbor spends very little on defense in addition to contributing almost nothing to NATO despite Trudeau being very outspoken on Ukraine. Canada also has significant tariffs on most US goods that prevent American companies from accessing Canadian markets the way our northern neighbor has access to the United States economy.
The new Prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, who won by running on the idea that he would take on Trump, has claimed that the US betrayed his country. The truth, as usual, is in Trump’s favor. The President’s position is that the United States needs to focus on rebuilding the middle class of his country, not subsidizing a wealthy country. Trump asking Canada to pay their fair share of military expenses and not rely on a 37 billion-a-year trade deficit is common sense. Similarly, the claims by Democrats that Trump is alienating our allies in Canada and Europe by standing up for the US and American workers and businesses is equally absurd.
The President wrote the art of the deal, he knows the key to a successful negotiation is leverage, and the US has the economic power right now to enforce more favorable trade agreements. The left-wing radicals in the media pretending to be journalists and the Democrats are following the same playbook of attacking Trump’s words and these partisans are also trying to push false narratives about the President mistreating countries such as Canada. The facts tell a different story. There isn’t a single Democrat who can justify the US having a 37 billion trade deficit with Canada and subsidizing a wealthy nation such as our northern neighbor when most Americans can’t afford a home and the US is nearly 30 trillion in debt.
The reason the Democrats have spent nearly a decade no lying and gaslighting Trump and the MAGA movement on issues ranging from the economy and the border to foreign policy is the left does not want to have a debate on the merits. Trump is trying to strengthen American industries as a way to rebuild the middle class, the President is making sure that other countries stop ripping off our nation while the left is effectively waging war on the working class with open borders, high taxes, and a foreign policy that included sending hundreds of billion to countries for endless wars that are not in the US’s interest. Trump is right on America’s need to reshape our relationship with Canada, and that’s why even his political opponents won’t challenge him on the facts.
