So this is really bad, right? I mean, there's a lot of Canadians that are really struggling to get by. And an extra increase to the price of gas, and then the extra increase that everything gas is used to produce, which is basically everything, that could push people right off the edge.
00:00:16.300
Now, there's a lot of conservatives, and I deal with these people all the time, that say, oh, Trump's not our problem.
00:00:22.140
Well, when you read stuff like this, it becomes pretty clear that Trump is our problem.
00:00:31.140
That's part of the reason our economy has shrunk and also another reason why groceries are more expensive.
00:00:37.540
Canada and the United States, we do a lot of business, a lot of trade together.
00:00:41.120
So Donald Trump has completely disrupted that with his tariffs.
00:00:45.480
he's got tariffs on the whole world and then you add to this an increase in energy prices
00:00:50.120
so we're in some serious trouble here right and i'm not sure how this is america first
00:00:55.960
like how is it america first to start another war in the middle east like wasn't this what
00:01:02.100
donald trump and mega was against i thought america first was about putting americans first
00:01:08.500
building roads you know helping the little guy out not going to war with the middle eastern country
00:01:14.320
And it doesn't even seem clear why they're doing this. They're essentially just making stuff up.
00:01:18.620
They're saying that Iran's building a nuclear weapon or they were about to build one. They
00:01:22.400
already had one. And that's simply not true. If you remember the 2003 invasion of Iraq,
00:01:28.480
Bush said the same thing. He lied. He said that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
00:01:33.220
And as we found out, there was no weapons of mass destruction. And on top of that,
00:01:38.820
Donald Trump also said last year that they wiped out Iran's nuclear program.
00:01:45.800
He wiped it out and then they somehow built it back up again and then they were ready
00:01:51.260
I mean, in case people are unfamiliar, Iran is on the other side of the world.
00:01:55.880
So it's pretty hard to hit America with a nuclear weapon if you're on the other side
00:02:01.440
Quite frankly, the way I see it is that Trump is treating his supporters like they're stupid.

And I hate to say it, but a lot of them are.
