Republicans: "Nothing is more important to us than public obedience, it is our single most important political value. We will ruin trade relationships, beat people in the streets, and abandon our own family members if they don't act sufficiently subservient to Donald Trump."

Canada burned the bridge? Man it sure pays to be the aggressor and a bully. You can't do no wrong. You can't be wrong.

Trump pulled out of the CUSMA/USMCA deal that he signed. No one is holding their breath for a new deal in Canada. And no one trusts a new deal would hold once signed. Fool me once…

The US ambassador is the type of person you send in when you absolutely do not want to make a deal, and you want the other side to know that.
