‘I was absolutely blown away’: Why car dealers say Canadian consumers could win from China EV deal

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

Trade agreements with Trump are worthless. Meaningless. If he hits a bad golf shot he will jump in his cart, grab his phone, and fire off a post revoking one, or changing one. It looks like that may finally be starting to sink in, although China seems to have known it all along.
