Trump's alpha-monkey move on Trudeau

Did you see the viral video of Trump literally jerking people around with his bizarre handshake? It's a habit of his to suddenly pull people forward, mid-handshake, making them practically topple over. A signature Trump alpha-monkey move. He even does it to people he likes. Bet you didn't expect to practically lose an appendage during that handshake.

But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, famous for his athletic ability, was well prepared for Trump's maneuver. In February, when they met, Trump tried several times to jerk Trudeau forward, but eventually gave up and let him walk into the White House as the clear handshake victor.

How embarrassing. And Trump isn't going to let that kind of humiliation go unpunished.

Next: One of the most incisive and effective Trump critics — and there are some great ones all around the world — is undoubtedly Samantha Bee. Here are just a few of her descriptions of Trump:
• Orange supremacist
• First-grader with a head injury
• George Wallace in a wig
• Melting hunk of uninformed apricot Jell-O

And can you guess where Bee is from? Toronto.

Surely even more infuriating to Trump, she's the only woman hosting a late-night satire show. Can Trump sit idly by and let a Canadian woman come down into our country, taking what should be a man's job, and use her bully pulpit to criticize him? There must be retribution for this grave offense.

Finally, there's the Canadian lumberjack factor. Did you know — and this is a scientific fact — that Canadian lumberjacks are, on average, 25% more masculine than American lumberjacks? Did you also know that some say Paul Bunyan himself was of French Canadian origin?

The insult to Trump's masculinity is just too much. He had to fight back. Frankly, he didn't have a choice. And what's the best way to fight back? By starting a trade war.

Sure, Canada is a NATO ally, a great northern neighbor and a trade partner to the tune of more than half a trillion dollars a year, benefiting both countries. And sure, trade wars usually only encourage one-upmanship, and tit-for-tat retaliation, creating losers on both sides of the border.

But this trade war is going to be different. Why? Because Trump always wins. That's why he's had such a successful first 100 days in office, with landmark legislation, record-high approval ratings, and the ability to draw Americans closer together in a spirit of bipartisanship not seen in decades.

That's if a trade war happens.
If a real war happens, well, I think Alan Alda said it best in the movie "Canadian Bacon": "Surrender pronto, or we'll level Toronto!"

Take that, Canada!

Good to meet someone else who appreciates Samantha Bee's intelligent and spot on perception of Trump. I do believe his ego is so fragile that he would jeopardize anyone and anything in order to avenge anyone for slighting it , very insightful post:)

Did you know Trump decreased corporate taxes by 20%. All his companies are now 20 % richer, smart guy.

I'd be interested is seeing where you got the information. Since all I've heard and read was, talk and negotiations for a 15% cut. Yet, it doesn't appear to be something congress and others are happy about since this cut would greatly increase the deficit and drive up interest rates, which creates a myriad of other problems......and it has to be passed through congress, which it hasn't. Some believe that would take nearly a year......regardless this "cut" would benefit mostly large corporations, you know those owned by the ultra wealthy, those ones he was going to drain from the swamp, lol, and big companies like his own. Trump isn't smart, he is cunning and conniving, and out for his own interests, all while he fucks over, those he promised to protect.

The 20% is the difference between the current top rate of 35% which almost no corps pay (ave effective about 22) and the 15% Trump fantasy proposal. It will do nothing much to stimulate the economy, corps already have record amounts of cash. To expand you need demand. Maybe will get some from yacht selling and mansions. The corps will just do more dividend distributions, stock buybacks and stock prices could soar with such a huge increase in income. However, there would be little "dynamic growth" to pay for it and just $trillions of more debt needed to offset the loss of tax income. The repatriation of about $2 trillion locked in foreign bank accounts etc with a 10% tax probably does make sense and changing to a tax system more like almost all the other developed countries where you can't just hide profits overseas to protect from taxes.
