Don’t recall him repeating his claim about the millions of illegal votes HRC got. Didn’t walk it back, just stopped talking about it. Trump is a man who can improve simply by shutting up. ---

I guess the spray tanned baby had a restless night… But he wanted everyone to make sure they know the WALL is still ON ! “Don’t let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.” Then he takes on a NEW TARGET, our neighbors to the north “Canada has made business for our dairy farmers in Wisconsin and other border states very difficult. We will not stand for this. Watch!” A little googling shows there is a trade issue involving pricing of a particular milk product that is a cheese precursor. But my favorite part of the tweet is the last word. Watch! Watch what? Are we going to go to war? Are we going to build TWO walls now? Watch! whatever Fox News show that Trump watched? What am I supposed to be watching? Our maybe he looked at his wrist while he was typing and lost his train of thought. If he had been eating breakfast at the time maybe the tweet would’ve ended with “Muffin!” ---

He’s put a 24% tariff on Canadian lumber. That’ll teach those Canadian dairy farmers! ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > Does Trump seem to think we are swimming in cheap milk here or something? $2.89 a litre sure doesn’t seem cheap. Seriously, milk in Canada costs $2.89 a liter? If my math is correct (always an iffy position to take), that’s the equivalent of about $8 (US) per gallon. Holy crap! I pay less than $4/gallon for whole milk in the St. Louis area. :eek: ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > Does Trump seem to think we are swimming in cheap milk here or something? $2.89 a litre sure doesn’t seem cheap. It’s kind of tricky to comment on this as I don’t see a link to a story that talks about the $2.89 number. But the milk controversy isn’t revolving around the kind of milk you pour on your cereal. It’s about a product called ultra-filtered milk, which is a specially processed milk used in cheese production. > **[World dairy producers cry foul over Canadian milk products deal](https://financialpost.com/commodities/agriculture/world-dairy-producers-cry-foul-over-canadian-milk-products-deal)** > > The new deal creates a new class of milk called 'class six,' which farmers will sell to processors at low prices to wipe out the imports of ultra-filtered milk It seems to me that this class of milk was left out of previous agreements ( maybe the product didn’t exist back when the tariffs were passed) and there is a new rule being proposed by Canada to rectify this.
