UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽
Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: https://t.co/quZtfERwdC
BREAKING: Trump just ended all trade talks with Canada for running what he calls a “fake” ad with Ronald Reagan speaking badly about tariffs.
Besides him being a petulant child, the ad was REAL and simply used Reagan’s own words from this speech. See below:
BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada.
He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are.
It's VERY effective.
Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦
I’m saying it now the FIFA World Cup will not be held in this Country and neither will the Olympics if things don’t change drastically! Who thinks FIFA or the Olympics should not be held in the U.S now? 🤬
We love Canada—and we admire her clear, principled response to the U.S.
While America drifts further into the chaos of tariff wars, political theater, and economic self-harm, Canada has quietly stepped into the role the U.S. once held: stable, respected, forward-looking.
Today, the U.S. increasingly resembles one of Latin America’s struggling banana republics—loud, erratic, and driven by ego over strategy—while Canada stands tall as a reliable, wealthy partner Europe can trust.
The world is realigning, and Canada is showing how to lead without shouting.
🧵THREAD: Mark Carney just declared the end of America's global leadership. 🇨🇦
In a landmark speech, Carney said it loud and clear:
“The system of global trade anchored on the United States… is over.”
“If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will.” 1/
There is a debate about whether the operational details Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared in the Signal Group Chat were "classified" or not. So I surveyed a range of current and former US defense officials who agreed "war plans" is not the right term but what was shared may have been FAR MORE sensitive given the operational details and time stamps ahead of the operation, which could have placed US military pilots in harms way.
What Hegseth shared two hours ahead of the strikes were time sensitive “attack orders” or “operational plans” with actual timing of the strikes and mention of F18s, MQ9 Reapers and Tomahawks. This information is typically sent through classified channels to the commanders in the field as “secret, no forn” message. In other words the information is "classified" and should not be shared through insecure channels.
“Attack orders” or “attack sequence” puts the joint force directly and immediately at risk, according to former senior defense official #1. “It allows the enemy to move the target and increase lethal actions against US forces.”
This kind of real time operational information is more sensitive than “war plans,” which makes this lapse more egregious, according to two former senior US defense officials.
“This information was clearly classified,” according to former senior defense official #1.
The Defense Secretary can retroactively declassify information after the fact, but the fact that this was shared in real time before the strike took place makes it unlikely to have been declassified when it was being shared and seen by the journalist for The Atlantic who was inadvertently included in the Signal chat.
According to a second former senior US defense official, when Hegseth says he didn’t release “war plans” that is pure semantics. These were “attack plans.” “If you are revealing who is going to be attacked (Houthis – the name of the text chain), it still gives the enemy warning. When you release the time of the attack – all of that is always ‘classified’.”
"Only reason to use Signal is they are either lazy, stupid or they just don't care," says Ambassador Susan Rice. She had Mike Waltz's job, National Security Adviser from 2013 to 2017, and before that she served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
If you don’t consider this to be classified info about imminent war plans, it *may* be that you’re too partisan to recognise the truth when it slaps you around your tribal chops. If this had happened on Biden’s watch, Republicans would have rightly gone berserk.
Trump wants to add his face to Mount Rushmore...does he get why they are on there? If so, is he blowing his best (and maybe only) chance to be considered great?
