President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was slapping an extra 10% tariff on imports from Canada in retaliation for what he says is a misleading TV ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.

"Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement in Ronald Reagan's Speech on Tariffs," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now," he wrote.

Canada generally pays a 35% tariff on goods sold in the U.S., with exceptions for certain products covered under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and other specific product exceptions, such as steel and aluminum, which are tariffed at 50%.

Trump on late Friday blasted the Ontario provincial government in Canada for waiting until after the first two games of the World Series to pause the Reagan ad. “They could have pulled it tonight,” Trump told reporters at the White House as he headed to fly to Asia. “Well, that’s dirty play,” he said. “But I can play dirtier than they can, you know.”

3. Has to undercut the scotus case re his authority to impose tariffs. nt

4. "Canada generally pays a 35% tariff on goods sold in the U.S."

No, Canada does not. Americans do. Trump's little tantrum just added 10% to costs for American businesses and consumers.

5. Article of Impeachment #____: Unconstitutional imposition of tariffs

... with a long list of irrational instances, including vindictive tariffs to avenge narcissistic ego wounds.

6. I remember watching Dennis Kucinich reading 25 Articles of Impeachment against Shrub, on the House floor

I think it took him 4 hours.

It would take DAYS to do what has to be dozens and dozens Articles of Impeachment for 45.

Now everyone else has to pay.

8. Canada just ran it again now, 22:04 EST.

They run it during the 7th inning stretch of the World Series. Actually at the end the credit says Ontario, so maybe the province is running it.

9. "so maybe the province is running it."

It's their ad. And notable because their city (Toronto) is playing in the World Series.

10. The article's first four paragraphs serve to spell out the administrations talking points for the reader.

Even when its points are complete bullshit. And in the M$M it happens that way too often to be a coincidence in my mind.

11. Canada should respond by playing the complete Reagan address.

It boils down to the same clips played in the ad.
