No, we gave the bully exactly what he demanded. They didn't give in. We did. And all it bought us was a 30 day delay.
These are lip service concessions to Trump that technically meet what he was asking for while denying him significant economic leverage. From Canada, into the US, a total of 43 lbs of fentanyl entered - compare that to the 21,148 lbs entering through Mexico.
Trump used the fentanyl bullshit as a pretext to enforce tariffs while not violating the letter of the law of the trade agreement he negotiated. He literally doesn't give a shit about fentanyl and instead wanted economic leverage.
Trudeau has paid lip service to the dumbass fake reason everyone knows doesn't mean shit and said "You still wanna go bro" to which Trump declined to elevate it to a tariff exchange in violation of the treaty.
This was a huge loss to Trump but nobody tell him that to his face or his whiney little bitchass will be embarrassed and start lashing out even more to look like a strongboi.
To all his sycophants, he won. And he will be back in exactly 30 days to make more ridiculous claims. We did not win. At best, we delayed his next demand.
Agreed.
