US President Donald Trump has today announced massive new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium, while threatening to "shut down" its car industry and saying the best way to end the trade war was for Washington's ally to be absorbed into the US.

Dumbest motherfucker to ever be born. Rips up nafta to make the best deal ever, then reneges on the best deal ever to go and do whatever he wants.

Then he gets mad that Canada is retaliating against the dumb shit he’s doing.

He’s a stupid dumbshit god damned montherfuker.

And he’s a rapist. Bury this poor excuse for a human.

saying the best way to end the trade war was for Washington's ally to be absorbed into the US.

This is really getting dangerous. His rhetoric is more and more resembling the one of Adolf Hitler.
