Mark Slapinski - Carney Outsmarted Trump On The $6.4 Billion Bridge

Mark Carney has completely outsmarted Trump over a new bridge connecting Canada and the United States, but is it a win for Trump or a loss for Canada? I break down the details of the deal and explain why Trump is the real loser here.

00:00:00.000 Mark Carney has completely outsmarted Trump over a new bridge connecting Canada to America.

00:00:05.780 I'm going to explain how.

00:00:07.040 For context, a multi-billion dollar bridge was set to open this year connecting Windsor to Detroit.

00:00:12.280 The total cost was $6.4 billion and was paid for by Canada.

00:00:16.240 Trump arbitrarily decided to stop the opening of the bridge earlier this year,

00:00:20.100 making a series of false statements about the project.

00:00:23.160 This month, Carney and Trump finalized a deal to get the bridge open again.

00:00:26.860 At first, it looks like Trump got the better deal.

00:00:28.960 but when examining the fine print it's actually carney that outsmarted trump this weekend the

00:00:34.420 media announced canada would be giving half the revenue collected from the bridge to the united

00:00:38.700 states and that's despite the fact that canada paid for it now this did look like capitulation

00:00:44.120 by carney and even i was upset about it but then i looked into it further and this is what i

00:00:48.560 discovered listen to this i'm happy the bridge is going to be open yeah uh we need it uh we need it

00:00:53.620 because we're expanding we're still expanding today second thing is the word net does a lot

00:00:57.800 of work in this. We are sharing after Canada is paid back. So we get the revenues, then the

00:01:06.520 servicing of the costs of the bridge and paying the debt of the bridge. And then what's left over,

00:01:11.880 there's a split of that for 15 years. The devil is in the details here. What Carney is saying is

00:01:18.160 that Canada won't be splitting all of the money the bridge generates with the United States,

00:01:22.480 only the money that is generated after the debt is paid. That being said, America won't see any

00:01:29.280 money for many years. It's essentially the same deal as before, but it's just worded a bit

00:01:33.940 differently. Conservatives, they like to think of Trump as this brilliant businessman, but in

00:01:38.760 reality, he's never run a successful business in his life. All of his business ventures, all of

00:01:44.020 them, they went bankrupt. And the only reason he has money in the first place is because of his

00:01:48.140 dad. Carney, on the other hand, he worked his way from the ground up. He worked hard, got educated,

00:01:54.080 and he climbed up to the upper echelons of society, eventually becoming the governor of

00:01:58.280 both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Carney knows that Trump is a dummy when it comes 0.98

00:02:02.820 to business, and Trump only cares about generating headlines for himself. So it appears that Carney 0.97

00:02:08.140 just took the deal that we already had, and he presented a reworded version back to Trump,

00:02:13.180 which he accepted. The real loser here is Trump and unfortunately the people of America. Canada 0.97

00:02:19.480 and America they had an agreement over the bridge. Trump decided to arbitrarily rip up that deal for

00:02:25.060 some reason. Now the master negotiator has negotiated a new deal which is the same as the

00:02:30.720 old deal just worded differently. So now the whole world understands that America is run by a bunch

00:02:36.020 of idiots and these idiots won't honor any deal that they've made with other countries. And this 1.00

00:02:41.260 of all Trump supporters in Canada and America are cheering this on but anyone with half a brain is 0.94

00:02:46.280 laughing and pointing at them. The Canadian Trump supporters they're the ones that really piss me 0.98

00:02:51.540 off. They're framing this as some big win for Trump and a big loss for Carney when in reality

00:02:56.920 it's the complete opposite. Carney is the one increasing Canada's standing in the world whereas

00:03:01.940 Trump is destroying America's standing. These people are so brainwashed it would be laughable 0.97

00:03:07.140 if it wasn't so infuriating the fact that these conservatives influencers politicians and 0.92

00:03:12.500 podcasters they continue to take trump's side on everything and blame mark carney for literally 1.00

00:03:17.400 everything that's going to be their downfall and the funny thing is most of these idiots 1.00

00:03:23.100 are not going to realize it until it's too late talk to you next time 1.00
