Pete Hoekstra: "As the president's representative to Canada, I present the president's views, the United States' views to Canada. Mechanically, I don't do all the reposting and retweeting myself. My understanding is we repost 100% of the president's tweets that deal with Canada."

Trump is floating the idea of leaving the UFC cage in front of the White House, comparing it to the Eiffel Tower. 🤦🏽‍♂️

His brain is turning to mush.

🟥 This one 👇🏼, U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, has all the diplomacy of a rattlesnake ... and, like Donald Trump, the maturity of a wombat.

My other observation is that Poilievre and his co-leaders in the clueless Conservative Party are gleefully celebrating news of a possible "technical recession" in Canada ... right along with Trump and his MAGA administration. 🤔

The VERY miscreants who have caused this potential recession through their relentless year and a half-long attack on our economy, in order to destroy jobs, crush our way of life, and try to force us to become a U.S. State.

The very fact that Poilievre is celebrating this news and twisting it and trying to benefit from it, shows you how LOW, lost and pathetic the CPC has become.

To root against your own CANADA, in hopes of political gain??

Poilievre will never be PM of Canada.
Just like we will NEVER, EVER be a U.S. State. 🙄

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Ah, Trump's MAGA piss boy, US Ambassador to Canada, @petehoekstra, mocking Canada/pushing the 51st State rhetoric again.
Here's your reminder that he's nothing more than a MAGA operative and a dangerous extremist who can fuck all the way off.

Odious - Such a nice trade partner (Sarcasm)
U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, who previously shrugged off Trump’s 51st state talk as joking, reposted the president’s comment on X.

Notley & Trudeau, actual adults in the room who got the first major pipeline in over 50 yrs built. It wasn’t all about whining, & tantrums & grievances. We deserve adult leaders, right @WabKinew @ABDanielleSmith @UCPCaucus

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald.

A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead.

Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result.

US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone.

Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America.

The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill.

This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam.

Well done, Donald.

Folks, these are the rantings of a crazy person. Note how Trump resorts to attacking the wives of men he doesn’t like. The president is a lunatic.
