Trump Just Said The Most Unhinged Thing About Canada - And Cue The Mockery
President Donald Trump engaged in a heated critique of Canada's trade policies, claiming the country has treated the U.S. unfairly. The remarks, which included hyperbolic claims about Lake Ontario, were met with widespread mockery on social media.
Why it matters
The rhetoric highlights ongoing tensions in U.S.-Canada trade relations and the role of social media in shaping political discourse.
President Donald Trump made his harshest attack on Canada yet, and all he got for it was social media mockery.
During an Oval Office announcement about the U.S. steel industry on Monday, a reporter asked Trump about the current state of U.S.-Canadian relations amidst his trade war.
