“For this is what it means to be a king: to be first in every desperate attack and last in every desperate retreat, and when there’s hunger in the land (as must be now and then in bad years) to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man in your land.” 3/3

Donald Trump just threw a late-night tantrum over an advertisement created by the Canadian province of Ontario, which featured Ronald Reagan’s REAL words expressing his dislike of tariffs. Trump says that, as a result, all trade negotiations with Canada are “HEREBY TERMINATED.”
If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

I wonder what will happen when Canada decides American
produce is not safe, and it is banned ?
When you ban food security inspections, your civilized
trading partners won't want unsafe food being sold in their
countries. 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇧
I feel bad for the people who lose that safety net.( US )
