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: TRANSCRIPT: 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. And here is the missing footage they deceptively edited out: TRANSCRIPT: Now, it hasn’t always been easy. There are those in Congress, just as there were back in the ’30s, who want to go for the quick political advantage — who risk America’s prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group — who forget that more than five 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 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. And there you have it my friends! That’s the truth! Please share.
