Trump, MAGA and the GOP have nothing to do with being “right wing” or “conservative.” They are fascist extremists, authoritarian dictators, and corrupt and self-enriching con-men.
Oh, and they know shit about business and the economy.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Doug Ford’s Ontario Govt plan to ban bike lanes “is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list…Ford’s war on bikes is more than a vendetta—it’s a gift to corporate lobbyists.”
It’ll make Ontario’s cities weaker, less competitive, more polluted, & more dangerous for everyone. AND the traffic worse.

Feb 28 is the national boycott of American companies.
Tomorrow I am holding a press conference with Quebec Amazon employees who were fired by Jeff Bezos.
He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump.
I am calling on all Canadians to support the Amazon workers and boycott this shitty company.
