'Cognitively declining' Trump faces economic chaos as tariffs backfire | Diane Francis

More than one casino… From Wikipedia (the place Elon Musk hates): “The six bankruptcies were the result of over-leveraged hotel and casino businesses in Atlantic City and New York: Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992), Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009).”

Canada has to separate itself from this economic regime, the United States of America. When you have infidelity, you get a divorce and that’s what we have to do. We have to get a economic divorce legally separated from the United States of America.

Liberals are now within 3 points since Trudeau began a leadership race and Carney put his name in. Her comments about the Canadian government are 100% inaccurate. The government is prorogued for a leadership race within the ruling party. The present Prime Minister, Cabinet and the Premierres are working directly on this problem. In fact, it is the only thing they are working on given parliament is prorogued. Instead of asking an AMERICAN clearly living way down south, talk to actual Canadians instead.
