Trump is attempting to flay again. Today he's threatens to tariff & 'decertify' Canadian aircraft. Under what authority is not clear. One can only guess what's triggering him now. On Tuesday, Canada's PM Carney said "almost nothing was normal in the United States." Yep www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...

When asked specifically whether he did retract parts of the speech, as Bessent claimed, Carney said “no.”
