U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan’s own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences.

In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake.

“TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.” Trump wrote. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

So I guess CUSMA is dead?

        All of your responses boil down to, “I disagree and you hurt my feelings.” I wouldn’t call that statement brilliant, but I guess it could be to some. If you don’t want to be mistaken for a snowflake, you might want to not let yourself get too worked up when strangers on the internet disagree with you.

        If typing is hard, copy this:

        Read up on it, and you might have an idea why your responses do little to promote your opinions.

        And if you want to use memes to get the point across, here’s mine:
