Popular Post Likely Guy Posted March 16, 2018 Popular Post #1 Share Posted March 16, 2018 U.S. President Donald Trump boasted in a fundraising speech in Missouri on Wednesday that he made up facts about trade in a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a recording of the comments obtained by the Washington Post. The newspaper said in a report posted on its website that Trump had insisted to Trudeau that the United States runs a trade deficit with its neighbour to the north without knowing whether or not that was the case. Trump said on the recording that after Trudeau told him the U.S. does not have a trade deficit with Canada, he replied, "Wrong, Justin, you do," then added, "I didn't even know ... I had no idea."

He thought he was bragging, and he was proud of it. All he did was show his ignorance...as usual. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make it right but this is just confirmation that Trump is still Trump. Trudeau is more teenage girl than PM so I would be surprised if he even realized he was being lied to lol Spoiler Ugh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightly Posted March 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Trump has no regard for the truth. He has said as much in the past. Of course he could have even lying. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're such a wise guy. Post the full audio. Well, here's the relevant part of the transcript: "And by the way, Canada? They negotiate tougher than Mexico. Trudeau came to see me, he’s a good man, he said we have no trade deficit with you, we have none. Donald, please. Nice guy, good looking guy. Comes in. Donald we have no trade deficit. He’s very tough. Everyone else, getting killed or whatever. But he’s tough. I said, well Justin, you do. I didn’t even know. Josh, I had no idea. I just said you’re wrong. You’re wrong. It was so stupid. [LAUGHTER]. I thought it was fine. I said, you’re wrong Justin. He said, nope we have no trade deficit. I said, well in that case I feel differently. I said but I don’t believe it. I sent one of our guys out. His guy, my guy. They said check because I can’t believe it. Well, sir you’re actually right, we have no deficit but that doesn’t include energy and timber. [LAUGHTER]. Well you don’t have timber, and when you do we’ll lost $17 billion. It’s incredible."

I grew up in the Southern Baptist church, so I can understand the mindset of religious people just fine despite my disagreements with them. Yet I've never truly been a conservative (which was a major reason for me leaving the church honestly, among other things). I just don't understand from experience how the conservative mind thinks. Not in the slightest. So I honestly never would've thought of that sorta thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference with trump is that he is taking it to a whole new level - you couldn't believe him if he told what he had for breakfast - and that is an issue when other leaders and politicians inside and outside of the US can't place any trust in any word he says. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
