Something something...national security...
More tantruming. He’s showing his hand though; he’s afraid SCOTUS will knock down his tariffs. He’s setting up the deflection ahead of time.

What a fucking child.
Only more evidence that we need other more reliable and stable partners.
The US is definitely neither.
Former federal judges use Alexander Hamilton to warn SCOTUS about Trump's tariffs regime
"Congress cannot hand its tariff-setting authority over to the President lock, stock, and barrel, allowing him to aim it whenever, wherever, and however he pleases."

Will they still be having elections in '28?
President Trump Quips About Canceling 2028 Elections If U.S. Is At War
During an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on ending the war with Russia, President Trump appears to imply that the 2028 elections could be cancelled if the U.S. is at war. “During the war, you can't have elections? So let me just see, three and a half years from...

Pretty hard to fire up the base to buy JD merch and show up at his rallies.
Trump would be a tough act to follow.

I was expecting: ‘Since the Toronto Blue Jays have taken a 1 game lead I’m am imposing a further 10% tariff. If they win tonight, it will be an extra 20%.’

Looks like someone should have read this article first 
So, how should you negotiate effectively with someone like Trump? Many world leaders seem to believe that they must either obtain more power than him (which is theoretically correct, but close to impossible for most to achieve in the short term), ignore the power difference altogether and attempt to negotiate as equals, or just give in to avoid the pain or risk of confronting his hard tactics and suffering his retaliations. These are three basic mistakes that will send any negotiator toward failure in this context.
2. Don’t publicly make them look bad
People like Trump care about their image. Eroding their image is akin to attempting to reduce their power, which will likely invite a strong and immediate response. Yet, there are many negotiators whose approach has been based on trying to make Trump look bad. It’s critical to understand that power is not bravado. Trump will attempt to negotiate collaboratively with those like Russian president Vladimir Putin who, given the latter’s position as the head of a nuclear superpower, he doesn’t have a large power advantage over. However, he is unlikely to do the same with someone who acts like Putin but lacks the power to back it up.
Having a power advantage usually means that Trump can sustain the consequences of a conflict better or longer than the other side can. It’s naïve to expect that he will not try to restore his image by gaining one up on his counterparty, or that he will disregard his image and prioritise the deal’s economics. As such, those who make Trump – or anyone borrowing from his playbook – look bad publicly are likely to pay the price later unless they are powerful enough to avoid it.

If they win I expect we will be at war by mid November.
Maple MAGA have yet to grasp that Trump is not a conventional rational actor with whom one can negotiate in good faith. His observable behaviour can be fairly described as fickle, petulant, and tempestuous. Best realistic case we’re still stuck with him for at least three more years. We must assume the U.S. remains an utterly unreliable economic partner for so long as he’s in office or otherwise calling the shots. America’s trade practices can be expected to lack conventional rationality, maturity, or predictability so long as Trump is in the mix. Literally just quoting Reagan in an ad has him wailing and increasing tariffs by 10% because he’s butthurt. And extra 10% tax on his own citizens and businesses because the truth offends him.
We need to build all of the other external economic relationships that we safely can without compromising core national security interests.

Have they failed to grasp or do they simply not care, and have never cared?
I think it quickly shifted from the border to owning the libs/3D chess for maple maga.

I think that if he loses at the SCOTUS he will personally blame Canada.

Even if they have an election in '28. And even if Trump lost, again, would JD certify a Democratic win?
