CANADA CAVES: Fake Ronald Reagan Ad Pulled After President Trump Shuts Down Trade Talks
President Trump wins again!
Early this morning, President Trump said that he is shutting down all trade talks with Canada after it came to his attention that they were airing an anti-tariff ad featuring the (fake) words of Ronald Reagan ahead of an important Supreme Court ruling.
President Trump slammed the ad on Truth Social:
CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!!They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY. Canada is trying to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court in one of the most important rulings in the history of our Country. Canada has long cheated on Tariffs, charging our farmers as much as 400%. Now they, and other countries, can’t take advantage of the U.S. any longer. Thank you to the Ronald Reagan Foundation for exposing this FRAUD. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
Just hours after President Trump’s announcement, Canada Premier Doug Ford said that the ad is coming down!

BREAKING – TRUMP WINS: Ontario, Canada Premier Doug Ford is PULLING the ad that used Ronald Reagan to argue against President Trump’s tariffs ahead of the Supreme Court ruling, per AP.
LMAO! They CAVED mere HOURS after Trump shut down trade negotiations.
Canada can’t survive without us and they know it!
The fake ad will be officially taken down on Monday.
Politico confirmed:
The Ronald Reagan ad that riled President Donald Trump to the point of terminating trade talks with Canada is coming down — after it gets a few more plays during the World Series.
“Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement Friday. “We’ve achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels.”
Trump terminated trade talks in a late-night Thursday post on Truth Social, claiming offense over an ad campaign produced by the province of Ontario that used a radio address by the former president to warn about the perils of a trade war…
Ford, whose provincial government bankrolled the 60-second spot that launched on major U.S. networks last week, said the decision to pull the ad this upcoming Monday came about after a discussion with Prime Minister Mark Carney “so that trade talks can resume.”
“I’ve directed my team to keep putting our message in front of Americans over the weekend so that we can air our commercial during the first two World Series games,” Ford said.
The World Series starts Friday evening, with the Toronto Blue Jays hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 1.
For reference, here’s the controversial fake Reagan ad:

The Reagan Foundation blasted the audio in the ad as fraudulent.
Indeed, the words were cut, spliced, and misrepresented from Ronald Reagan’s 1987 address.
In case you’re curious, here’s the part that the Ontario government conveniently cut out:
Why is Trump upset with Premier Ford? Ontario’s gov cut a clip of President Reagan praising presidential tariff powers, then spent $75M on a US ad campaign misrepresenting him to attack President Trump. Watch what they clipped out here.

You can also watch the entire 5-minute address here for yourself:
CNBC provided a side-by-side comparison of the fake ad audio and Regan’s actual speech:
Transcripts of both the Canadian ad and Reagan’s 1987 remarks are below. The parts of his speech that were used in the ad are highlighted in the full speech transcript.
Ontario’s ad:
Reagan: When someone says, ‘Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes, for a short while, it works — but only for a short time.
Over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.
High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars.
Then the worst happens: Markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs.
Throughout the world, there’s a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition.
America’s jobs, and growth, are at stake.
Reagan’s 1987 speech:
My fellow Americans:
Prime Minister Nakasone of Japan will be visiting me here at the White House next week. It’s an important visit, because, while I expect to take up our relations with our good friend Japan, which overall remain excellent, recent disagreements between our two countries on the issue of trade will also be high on our agenda.
As perhaps you’ve heard, last week I placed new duties on some Japanese products in response to Japan’s inability to enforce their trade agreement with us on electronic devices called semiconductors. Now, imposing such tariffs or trade barriers and restrictions of any kind are steps that I am loath to take. And in a moment I’ll mention the sound economic reasons for this: that over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. But the Japanese semiconductors were a special case. We had clear evidence that Japanese companies were engaging in unfair trade practices that violated an agreement between Japan and the United States. We expect our trading partners to live up to their agreements. As I’ve often said: Our commitment to free trade is also a commitment to fair trade.
But you know, in imposing these tariffs, we were just trying to deal with a particular problem, not begin a trade war. So, next week I’ll be giving Prime Minister Nakasone this same message: We want to continue to work cooperatively on trade problems, and want very much to lift these trade restrictions as soon as evidence permits. We want to do this, because we feel both Japan and the United States have an obligation to promote the prosperity and economic development that only free trade can bring.
Now, that message of free trade is one I conveyed to Canada’s leaders a few weeks ago, and it was warmly received there. Indeed, throughout the world, there’s a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. Now, there are sound historical reasons for this. For those of us who lived through the Great Depression, the memory of the suffering it caused is deep and searing. And today, many economic analysts and historians argue that high tariff legislation passed back in that period, called the Smoot-Hawley tariff, greatly deepened the depression and prevented economic recovery.
You see, at first, when someone says, ‘Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes, for a short while, it works — but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is: First, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So, soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens: Markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs.
The memory of all this occurring back in the ’30s made me determined when I came to Washington to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Now, it hasn’t always been easy. There are those in the Congress, just as there were back in the ’30s, who want to go for the quick political advantage, who will risk America’s prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5 million American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business and additional millions are tied to imports. Well, I’ve never forgotten those jobs. And on trade issues, by and large, we’ve done well. In certain select cases, like the Japanese semiconductors, we’ve taken steps to stop unfair practices against American products, but we’ve still maintained our basic, long-term commitment to free trade and economic growth.
So, with my meeting with Prime Minister Nakasone and the Venice economic summit coming up, it’s terribly important not to restrict a president’s options in such trade dealings with foreign governments. Unfortunately, some in the Congress are trying to do exactly that. I’ll keep you informed on this dangerous legislation, because it’s just another form of protectionism and I may need your help to stop it. Remember, America’s jobs, and growth, are at stake.
Until next week, thanks for listening, and God bless you.
No word yet on President Trump’s response or whether he will agree to resume trade negotiations with Canada.
What are your thoughts?
Do you think pulling the ad should be enough for President Trump to forgive Canada and continue trade talks?
HERE WAS OUR ORIGINAL REPORT:
FAFO: Canada Busted For Running WILDLY Deceptively-Edited Ronald Reagan Ad, President Trump Drops the Hammer!
Canada just got busted BIG LEAGUE!
It's a little something we call FAFO, and if you don't know what that means, ask your kids or grandkids.
But basically, Canada just did the "FA" part and now they've entered "FO" and it's going to get very ugly for them.
Allow me to lay it all out and show you the two videos in question here, including the missing footage they selectively edited out.
It all starts with this TruthSocial post from President Trump saying the Ronald Reagan Foundation just busted Canada for using deceptively edited footage of Ronald Reagan in order to influence the trade war and the US Supreme Court:
Let me explain a bit and then I'll show you both videos.
So Canada runs this ad of an old Ronald Reagan video where he is criticizing tariffs to prove that tariffs are bad and should never be allowed (never mind that the whole rest of the world tariffs the USA to the hilt, but that's a different topic).
So Canada runs this ad and it's very clearly designed to influence the upcoming decision of the Supreme Court on whether or not a President can use tariffs on his own or whether each tariff needs the approval of Congress.
If each tariff needs the approval of Congress, it effectively means we will never again issue another tariff of any kind because as they say that would "take an act of Congress" -- which is a saying that has evolved in the common lexicon to essentially mean something that is virtually impossible.
Ok, so that's the background on the Canadian ad.
Now for the part they left out....
Have you ever heard of the "Compliment Sandwich"?
I'm sure you have....it's essentially when you need to deliver bad news or criticism to someone you do it with a compliment sandwich where you give them a compliment to warm them up and soften the blow, then you deliver the tough news, then you try to soften it again by one more compliment.
That's exactly what Ronald Reagan was doing here in this old video footage.
The first half which is what was used in the ad, was the "compliment" portion, where Reagan was establishing he's not an ideologue on the issue -- not a hard-liner that wants to tariff the rest of the world into oblivion (neither is Trump by the way). He's establishing that he's reasonable and not looking to abuse tariffs. And that's the only part they used.
The part they cut is the most fascinating because that's the "meat" portion of the compliment sandwich, and in the most ironic twist of fate you could have, it's Ronald Reagan making his case to Congress, to the Supreme Court and to the American People that the Supreme Court should NOT take away his right to impose tariffs because it is a VERY important negotiating chip that he needs to use.
LITERALLY HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF right now with President Trump.
But you'd never know it by the deceptively-edited ad.
Watch for yourself....
Here is the deceptively-edited Canadian ad:
