BREAKING: CNN's fact-checker exposes an AVALANCHE OF LIES from Trump about Canada — and there's a new one almost every day.
Donald Trump doesn't just have policy disagreements with Canada. According to CNN's chief fact-checker Daniel Dale, who happens to be Canadian himself, Trump has built his entire trade war narrative on a foundation of demonstrably false claims — and the lies keep coming.
Just today, Dale documented, Trump falsely claimed Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising." The actual number: 6.4%, and it's been DECLINING for three straight months. Trump also falsely claimed Canada does "95% of its business with the US." The real figure is 72%.
He blamed the entire US-Canada trade deficit on high Canadian agricultural tariffs, despite the fact that roughly 97% of US agricultural exports to Canada are already tariff-free, and the actual deficit stems overwhelmingly from cheap Canadian crude oil imports that benefit American consumers.
And that's just today's batch. Dale's running tally over the past 18 months reads like a highlight reel of fabrication.
Trump has falsely claimed Canada doesn't buy American agricultural products, when it's actually the world's SECOND-LARGEST buyer of them. He's falsely claimed Canadians support becoming America's 51st state, when polling shows overwhelming opposition.
He's falsely claimed Canada is among the world's highest-tariff nations, when World Trade Organization rankings place it near the bottom. He's falsely claimed Canada "essentially doesn't have a military," ignoring that Canadian forces have fought alongside American troops in multiple wars and rank in the upper half of NATO by force size.
He's also falsely inflated the US trade deficit with Canada to "$200 billion" (nowhere close), falsely claimed Canada bans American banks (more than a dozen currently operate there), falsely claimed Canada is "constantly surrounded" by Chinese and Russian ships (fiction), and falsely accused former PM Trudeau of using trade tensions to run for reelection — despite Trudeau, quite obviously, not running.
This isn't policy disagreement. This is a dispute over the nature of reality!
This is a sitting president manufacturing an entire economic conflict with one of America's closest allies using numbers he simply invented, over and over, across nearly two years, with virtually no correction or accountability.
When the facts don't support your trade war, apparently the solution is just to make up new facts. Someone needs to tell Trump that the world doesn’t work like that, and it may as well be CNN’s Daniel Dale.

The Trump Gold Card: Another con and grift that turned out to be a bald-faced LIE and EPIC FAILURE. But even the words "epic failure" do not do this scam justice. 😂🤣👇
Americans love their Canadian brothers and sisters. They are the greatest allies, friends, and neighbors any country could have. So proud of Buffalo Sabres fans. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

NHL playoff format - a mess.
16 teams per conference and you're forcing 2nd vs. 3rd in the West and 3rd vs. 4th in the East.
7th in the West gets to play 6th and 8th in the East gets to play 5th.
In the West, 4th will open on the road against 5th.
Nonsense all over.
These astronauts are just a balm: impossibly cheery, down to earth, committed, decent. They are clearly extraordinary people, and yet reassuringly normal. At a time when the news is dominated by people who are either cruel or corrupt or insane or incompetent or all of the above, they remind us not all is lost.
To put it bluntly, that's giga-fucked behavior from Utah. I don't recall other examples of "don't report" elsewhere in the league, but maybe they exist. Doing it to a guy who went to the NHLPA PA Program for mental health is wild. I agree with Z here, there was a more compassionate way to handle this. Everything I've seen of Ingram is he's a pretty chill and level headed guy even if he was struggling at the time.
Idk about you, but to me… Utah straight up telling Ingram to not come to camp is pretty icky. That’s straight up telling him that they don’t want him around, period.
They could’ve let him come to camp and still worked to find him a fresh start before the season begun.
Iran is now trolling Trump with a video showing him waving a white flag and then falling to his knees after his Administration folded in negotiations and agreed to many of Iran’s demands. https://t.co/hsvK6Fy8VN
China has Robot wolves trained to track foot soldiers and mines. I hope Iran didn't already have them in Kharg Island.
The leaders of three of America’s most formidable rivals China, Russia, and North Korea demonstrated unity as China showcased new weaponry during a grand military parade.

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.
Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.
They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.
This was not a drill.
This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.
Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.
Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.
The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world. https://t.co/lxQD3X8jaM
Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.
Holy shit! Joe Kent did not hold back in his interview with Tucker Carlson:
“One of Trump’s closest advisors who was advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and to rethink our relationship with Israel is suddenly assassinated and then we were told to stop investigating it.”
@EricLDaugh ANOTHER ONE X MANY MORE!
Add also Trump's former Spiritual Leader.....
