I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?

Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “… Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.

By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.

    I didn’t watch it. I just can’t listen to him speak for more than about 30 seconds. The gibberish and gish-gallops are just too much for me to handle. I usually try to find a transcript after the fact.

        I purposely didn’t watch it knowing I would get better results from a summary. Like this quote from him that tariffs was about making America rich again (not about fentanyl) was all I needed to hear tonight. The rest is screaming noise.
