I look forward to meeting the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney. I very much want to work with him, but cannot understand one simple TRUTH — Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 Billion Dollars a year, in addition to giving them FREE Military Protection, and many other things? We don’t need their Cars, we don’t need their Energy, we don’t need their Lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain. They, on the other hand, need EVERYTHING from us! The Prime Minister will be arriving shortly and that will be, most likely, my only question of consequence.

Trump's trade tantrum triggered more market yawns than a congressional filibuster. SP500 barely blinked: up 0.08% in 1 and 5 minutes, then cooled to 0.05% at 10 minutes. Dow Jones moved like molasses in January: 0.06% initial pop faded to 0.03%. Crypto showed slightly more enthusiasm: BTC gained 0.19% over 10 minutes while ETH rallied 0.30%, proving digital assets still treat political noise as background static. The real winner? TRUMP token, up 0.56%—because nothing fuels a meme like self-referential theatrics. Volatility was milder than a Canadian winter: no historical precedent exists, but the reaction suggests markets now treat Trump’s trade tirades as white noise. The irony: a post declaring economic independence moved markets less than a grocery list. Perhaps friendship really is priceless—or just priced in.
