Did he do it again or are you talking about the time he let Qatar buy a bunch Nvidia gpus for a $2 billion bribe to his crypto scam company so Qatar could go sell them to China?

Where are all the Canadians going?
In recent years, one in four visitors to the US has been Canadian. But with so many boycotting US holidays, here's where they're heading instead.

Good for them, certainly the sensible decision versus rewarding our collective avaricious stupidity.Where are all the Canadians going?

‘Stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain’: Toronto sex store receives letters from U.S. Department of War
Not one, but two letters were sent from the Pentagon to a Toronto-based sex toy store, found inside the boxes of returned adult items that had somehow made their way to a U.S naval base in Bahrain.

More companies gearing up to get their money expecting, probably correctly, SCOTUS will rule against Trump on the tariffs. Meanwhile grandpa is spending theoretical tariff money in his head to do all kinds of things like Hitler in the Downfall movie moving fake armies around to save Berlin.
Wait until USA goes full Russia and screws hard the situation for them and giving more price increases to the clients.

FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK HIS TARIFFS!
Occasionally I'll buy laundry detergent when I'm at Dollar Tree, it works decently enough and is dirt cheap. It's been $1.25 for 32 loads, I got it the other day. It's $1.50 now! and it's only 21 loads. So it goes up in price (shit happens) but gets a massive decrease in size, booooo! Itr's still like 1/10 the price of Tide, but holy shit Trump

In other parts of the world:
The EU-Mercosur deal is set to create the world's largest free trade area, covering some 700 million people. From Brussels' perspective, the agreement is a major geopolitical win in light of China's rising share in trade and influence in Latin America.

But will Venezuela still be tariffed? 😛
Venezuela is no longer part of the Mercosur. That's the problem.

Never seen such a terrible deal, whoever signed it must be a terrible deal-maker, the absolute worst.

Absolutely loved the move by Canada to reduce tariffs on Chinese EV cars. That just means less American car sales. Fucking over America. It's not just how evil they are it's how fucking stupid. They're so self-absorbed they're always the victims just like their base, are the white victims of everybody else but straight white people. America is just the victim and everyone's just going to bend to us.
Yeah sorry you stupid fuckers that ain't how the fucking real world works

It's as if all they ever read was Carl "I'm a Nazi" Schmitt and the whole "executive exists in the exception". They think creating a fake emergency to use emergency powers is some "win everything" button. Fools.

In the long term, Trumps moves will destroy the American car companies. He's encouraging them to regress, on efficiency, emissions and technology, while at the same time turning the world against US products, with his insane attacks an former allies.
Soon Ford/GM will be the Lada/Trabant of the USA, selling only in the USA, and with protectionist walls, there will be less need to improve, until the point that American made is as far behind the rest of the world as Lada and Trabant were.
I'm in Canada, and I definitely applaud the move to let in Chinese cars and I would definitely buy made in China before made in USA now.
Given everything that's transpired it's very unlikely that I will ever consider a US made car again, or US made booze, or anything else I can reasonably avoid.
This won't be forgotten after Trump, because it's not just Trump. This is the Third time about half the country voted for this.
