Commerce Secretary Mocks Wannabe Tough Guy From America’s Hat, ‘Trump Broke Him’ … With A Tweet
You can talk tough all you want, but if you don't have the cards, you shouldn't play the game
For all of five minutes, the leader of one Canadian province decided to talk tough. It did NOT work out how he had expected.
Even Western Canada does not respect the leaders of Ontario, or Quebec… let alone the three-passport-owning Bank of England WEF influencer who took over from from Tinpot Trudeau just a few days ago.
What could possibly have him think that TRUMP was going to quake in his boots at an empty threat from some no-account quisling ‘conservative’? Doug is a ‘brave’ premier (think: ‘governor’) who immediately hid behind the skirts of the newly-minted Liberal Prime Minister.
It went about as well as could be expected… so embarrassing that both Trump and his Commerce Secretary were talking about it.
First — Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick put the curb-stomping the political under-manager from America’s Hat in its proper perspective… on CBS no less:

“He needed to.break some guy in Ontario who said he was going to tax American energy 25%. The President of the United States, in the White House says ‘oh no you won’t’ and breaks him… breaks him. In what? By a tweet. By a truth.”
This isn’t the first time he’s dealt with another country’s policy in a timeline measured with a clock instead of a calendar. Smart money says it won’t be the last time, either.
