Sounds like it's more about personal popularity than what they intend
to do politically, although Trump makes some wild promisses, and you
can't trust a lot of what he says. It's either dead wrong or a total
distortion of the truth.. Like he said today that he Subsidizes Canada
to the tune of $200 Billion.. Makes it sound like a hand out rather than
the truth that the USA buys that much from us because it is cheaper than
it can be made there or bought anywhere else.

The tariffs started today and apparently has already cost the USA
3 Trillion dollars in stock drops, and Trump is suddenly suggesting
that he may have another look at things in a few weeks and maybe
make some adjustments.

Trudeau, usually pretty polite to everyone, said today that for
such a smart man he was doing a really stupid thing..

In Congress today apparently most of what he said was Boo'd by
at least all the Democrats and he had to have the Congressman
from Texas physically removed from the floor when he was heckling
Trump during his speach and someone else started suggesting voting
for Trump's impeachment..

No, nothing that makes Trump look bad is ever true, and that 'truth'
can change day by day as required..
