While lashing out at Canada, Trump accidentally shares his genuine beliefs.
“PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, ‘US Tariffs were kind of insulting’ and he ‘will not be pushed around.’ Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!” - Trump
Take another look at Trump’s tweets and note that he said his tariffs are “in response to” Canada’s trade policy on dairy products. Trump made a mistake by blurting out and sharing his genuine beliefs.
When Trump announced his tariffs on steel and aluminum, the official line was that the policy was necessary on national security grounds. By way of Twitter, Trump effectively admitted that his stated rationale was a lie.
Legally, if there was any possible way for Trumps tariffs to fail in court, it would be because he decided to blurt out an explicit confession that his motive is not the one he is legally obligated to base it on.
Trump is an absolute helmet, and his supporters are either too blind or too stupid to see it. Not only will every country fight back against Trump's ignorant tariff war, which we as citizens will pay for (literally), so will the courts.

- 55% of Americans don’t know that the sun is a star, guess who the majority of those support. Do you really think they understand trade or anything else?_niko
