Its not good for the family that owns the other bridge that bribed trump.

Makes perfect sense when you look at it from that perspective.

If they keep playing games, we could maybe drop a few articles to the news about expropriating the Canadian side of the other bridge. We don’t even necessarily have to do anything else, just watch them spiral when they realize their source of income might disappear.

U.S President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that the U.S. is “better without” the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and he even prefers it to be “terminated.”

Trump spoke to reporters at the G7 in France before boarding a flight after attending the G7 summit and his statements come as Canada, the U.S. and Mexico continue to negotiate an extension or replacement for the current trade agreement.

“I would rather not have the agreement, but I may sign it, but we [the U.S.] do better as a country when we don’t have an agreement,” said Trump.

I don't see it signed before he's out of office.

We have an agreement. It’s pretty good one. It remains in place until changed or terminated. Mechanisms for that take time and probably congressional approval. Right now, string him along and rag the puck through the midterms and hopefully a Republican loss of control of Congress. Time is very much on our side.

Lets continue to fight them on it.

Eventually he will surrender, give us 300b and allow us to enrich our uranium.
