🍁💥Trade talks collapse, tempers flare, and Donald Trump — ever the subtle diplomat — storms off because of an advertisement. Yes, the fate of billions in steel, aluminium, and automobile trade now hinges on a TV spot invoking Ronald Reagan. Somewhere, Reagan’s ghost is whispering, “This wasn’t what I meant by free markets.”

🤡 The Negotiator Who Walked Away from Negotiating

It’s almost poetic. The man who wrote The Art of the Deal now seems more interested in The Art of the Tantrum. One ad criticising tariffs, and suddenly America’s trade partner of a century becomes persona non grata. Someone call the United Nations — we’ve entered the era of “tweet-based diplomacy.” 🕊️📱

Picture it: Canadian officials with polite smiles frozen in place, trying to explain that, yes, the Reagan ad was satire, and no, maple syrup isn’t a national weapon. Meanwhile, Trump’s team packs up the briefing papers and sulks off like they’ve just lost at Monopoly — demanding a rematch and blaming Canada for stealing Boardwalk.

If only global trade could be solved with golf games and catchphrases. But no, we’re now one moody outburst away from a NAFTA-sized meltdown. 🇺🇸🔥🇨🇦
