Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

The tariffs are the least popular thing Trump is doing. It's a unilateral trillion-dollar tax hike on Americans that raises prices on items they buy every day.
These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs.

By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

🚨 Rebel News just lost its court battle for official journalism status.

The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news.

The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism.
The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism.

The UHN campaign comes on the heels of Donald Trump’s extensive cuts to federal research grants and mass layoffs at federal health agencies.

WOW. The owner of a popular inn in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, told CNN that “easily” 90% of their business has disappeared as Canadian tourists cancel their vacations in the U.S. following Trump’s relentless attacks on their country.

We deeply regret the US tariffs imposed on Europe.

Tariffs are taxes.

They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers.

Today Europe takes strong but proportionate countermeasures.

We remain ready to engage in dialogue ↓
