'Blatant attack!' Trump rages at Canada as he kills trade talks

06/27/25 6:03 PM

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Canada will impose an additional tax on U.S. digital services. "We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," claimed Trump. Trump noted, however, that the European Union has done the same thing. "Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven-day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump said. Trump appeared to announce in passing on Thursday that he reached a trade deal with China; however, Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, told Fox News that there was no deal with China, and that the deal with India was pending. Trump aimed to have 90 trade deals in 90 days; however, the only one the administration has managed to secure is with the United Kingdom.

'Brain is peanut butter': Trump mocked for calling Japanese leader 'Mr. Japan'

President Donald Trump was brutally mocked over the weekend after he referred to Japan's leader as "Mr. Japan."The president made the statement during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo about tariffs. As his July 9 deadline for tariff deals approached, Trump said he would rather send a letter to countries instead of negotiating."But I'd rather just send them a letter, a very fair letter, saying, congratulations, whether it will allow you to trade in the United States of America," Trump told Bartiromo. "You're going to pay a 25% tariff, or 20% or 40% or 50%. I would rather do that.""We'll send a letter and we'll say we would consider it a great honor, and this is what you'll have to do to shop in the United States," he opined. "We're like a department store to shop in the United States, and you'll pay a 25% tariff, or we wish you a lot of luck, and that's the end of the trade deal.""I could send one to Japan. Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars."Trump's statement was met with mockery online."His brain is peanut butter," commenter Leslie Jones wrote."If President Biden started a sentence with 'Dear Mr. Japan,' Republicans would never shut up about it and '25th Amendment' is all they'd be talking about," another commenter said. "This is f—ing INSANE.""Paging Jake Tapper," D. Villella joked."If Biden said that Maria would have leaped into the air to wave the DEMENTED flag on air," one person noted.Watch the video below from Fox News.

'Coincidence? Not even close': Ex-Trump operative blows up White House narrative

07/05/25 9:43 PM

Donald Trump and the media insist on one version of events, but a former Trump associate insists there's more to the story.Trump recently completed a phone call with Putin, which the media has reported led to no progress in halting the war on Ukraine. A follow-up call with Ukraine's leader was reported as having featured Trump offering some assistance.But there's more to the call with Ukraine's leader, according to Lev Parnas, a former associate of Trump who worked on issues related to Ukraine during the president's first term.Parnas on his Substack flagged a devastating attack on Ukraine right after the call with Trump, saying, "The attack wasn’t random. It was systematic, with multiple drones launched in waves designed to overwhelm air defense systems. Targets included civilian zones, energy infrastructure, and transit hubs, with some of the heaviest activity tracked near Kirov Oblast—a name that’s now entering military dispatches as a hub for these new tactics."According to Parnas, the attack was directly connected to Trump's publicized calls with foreign leaders. "This is Putin’s escalation, timed perfectly after Trump’s back-to-back calls with him and then with Zelensky. Coincidence? Not even close," the ex-associate said, before blowing up the White House's (and the media's) description of the call."According to the press, Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was 'productive' and 'supportive.' But my sources—inside the room—tell a different story," he said. "Trump made no commitments to deliver weapons. He vaguely mentioned that he’d 'look into' retrieving U.S.-supplied arms that were held up. But as I’ve told you for weeks, this is part of a calculated delay tactic."According to Parnas, "Donald Trump has no intention of sending Ukraine the weapons it needs.""The strategy is simple: stall the Ukrainians, comfort Putin, and let the situation in eastern Ukraine deteriorate while Washington is distracted with optics," the ex-insider added. "I’m also hearing credible intel about a large-scale Russian troop buildup in the Sunni region, with over 50,000 troops mobilizing. The kind of movement that signals a major new offensive—one that could shift the war."Read the piece here.
