Analysis of Global Trade and Leadership Dynamics

I think Carney is learning that China has a particular

attitude that is very common and symbolic or

representative of all tyrants. When they see an

opponent,

the leadership, they size them up, and they say to themselves, "Does

this person project strength? Is this person unpredictable?

Does this person have wherewithal, economic or military?

If they do, we're going to treat him

with caution and as an equal.

If he is obsequious to us and praises us, but he's weak, we're gonna

treat him with contempt."

So when Carney thinks he's going to Canada, Canada's gonna go over

there and say, "Hey, gee, we know you hate Trump.

We hate Trump. Just dump all of your aluminum and your

metals and your steel into the Uni- into Canada

cheap. We'll assemble it, and we'll undercut

American products, appliances, and vehicle.

You win, we win."

And then she says, "Well, but will Trump get mad at you that we're

evading the tariff?" "Ah, we don't care.

We're the, we're-- I'm the leader of the world now.

I'm the leader of the middle nations.

I'm Carney."

And they think, "Yeah, we'll just manipulate this guy.

He's, he's weak, and he's stupid. So we'll dump the

stuff, but we're not gonna play along with his

game." And the EU says the

same thing. "Yes,

we have 5% trade with you, and you want to expand that?

Yes.

But you have certain requirements that you want to be

un-Trumped, un-Americaned, so we can't tell

you not to trade with Chi- But I'm sorry to tell you that we, in our

charter, we can tell you anything we want.

We don't want you to evade EU, EU tariffs on

China by dumping your product inside EU.

And by the way, if you think you're gonna send a bunch of

tar oil,

thick sulfurous oil over here, we're not gonna take it.

And by the way, and by the way, and by the way," and that's what

they're gonna tell him.

Did you see in the news this morning?

I think it was-

I've never seen a nor- a stupider leader. I, I mean it.

I mean, it's like Gavin Newsom runs Canada, right?

It's, uh, it, it's almost like he's...

I'm gon-

It's like he has a gun, and he's blowing off one arm.

"Take that, Trump." And then he shoots his leg.

"Take that." And shoots his, puts a bullet in his brain.

"Now, you see what I can do to you?" It, it's just silly, and he's

whipped up all these normal, normal, rational Canadians

and-

Yeah.

He's not gonna even... I don't even think he's gonna win the

election that he wants

the result in Alberta and Quebec.

Yeah, that's what I saw this morning.

It didn't happen.

Yes.

He's not gonna... And, uh, maybe he'll win the midterms.

He can take credit as, "I'm the leader of the middle nations."

What are the middle

nations? You have 70 what, 78,

80 jets that are 45 years old, and then you say, "The

Northwest Passage is ours, and, and the Arctic is ours."

Yeah. And who do you call? It's like Ghostbuster.

Who are you gonna call? You're gonna call the United States.

Yeah.

"Hi, Mr. Trump. There are 17 Soviet, uh,

Russian, and Chinese icebreakers, and for some reason, they put

a little flag that says China right in our Arctic zone.

Could you take care of it?"
