00:00:00.000 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.
00:00:20.620 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.
00:00:25.720 He's made himself our problem as Canadians.
00:00:28.920 He's made himself 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.
00:00:44.380 And it's not just tariffs on Canada.
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.
00:01:43.780 So which one is it, right?
00:01:45.800 He wiped it out and then they somehow built it back up again and then they were ready
00:01:49.580 to strike America.
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
00:02:00.460 of the world. 1.00
00:02:01.440 Quite frankly, the way I see it is that Trump is treating his supporters like they're stupid. 1.00
00:02:05.420 And I hate to say it, but a lot of them are. 1.00
