When American's elected President Trump, we knew exactly what they were getting.
Not a politician.
We were in a place where one president after another did the same thing, talked big and
did nothing.
Not just Obama, look back and see that very little change ever happened.
American's were tired of it, and what we received was a shrewd businessman that doesn't
care about politics but deliberately and desperately cares about America, and it's people.
As the G-7 summit approached Trump levied massive tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and the
EU.
All of them vowing to retaliate.
The Media critics came out of the woodwork finding anyone to criticizes the president's
actions.
But instead of heeding the warnings of his critics, Trump continues to stand by his actions.
He has said multiple times that America is being taken advantage of by nearly every nation
in the world, but not anymore.
Yesterday in a news conference, a reporter from CNN asked him a question that he didn't
like, the way the president handled it was epic!
According to The Hill:
President Trump slammed CNN as "fake news" after a reporter with the news organization
asked him a question during a press briefing at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit.
After the reporter asked Trump a question about tensions between him and other leaders
at the G-7 summit, the president asked what network he was from.
"Who are you with out of curiosity?" Trump asked the reporter, who replied that he was
from CNN.
"I figured," Trump said.
"Fake News CNN.
The worst."
Trump then began to say that he "could tell by the question," before clarifying that
he did not previously know the reporter's affiliation.
"I have no idea you're with CNN," he said.
"After the question I was just curious as to who you're with, you're with CNN."
He then answered the reporter's question, defending his relationship with the other
leaders of top industrialized nations present at the summit in Canada.
"I would say that the level of the relationship is a 10.
We have a great relationship — Angela [Merkel] and Emmanuel [Macron] and Justin [Trudeau].
I would say the relationship is a 10," he said, referring to leaders from Germany, France
and Canada, respectively.
Trump blasted leaders ahead of the summit over the intensifying trade battles, after
he imposed steep tariffs on steel and aluminum affecting allies Canada, Mexico and the European
Union.
He has also faced criticism over his calls to reinstate Russia into the group.
Russia was suspended from the then-Group of Eight over the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
The president is planning to leave the G-7 summit early to depart for Singapore, where
he will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday.
The president has been highly critical of CNN throughout his presidency, pushing back
on negative coverage and referring to the network as "fake news."
In that same speech, President Trump went on to chastise our trade partners leaving
no question on how he would be dealing with them.
Fox News reported:
President Trump used a press conference at the G7 summit in Canada to double down on
his tough stance on trade, telling reporters that the United States is
like "the piggy bank that everybody is robbing" but promising that that is ending under his
leadership.
Trump made the remarks before he departed Charlevoix, Canada, after meeting with world
leaders.
Trump had entered the summit amid a spat with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and
French President Emmanuel Macron over U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.
But Trump said that talks at the summit had been "extremely productive" about trade
among other issues.
Despite reported tensions surrounding the summit, Trudeau announced on Saturday that
all seven countries had signed onto a summit communique, The Associated Press reported.
"People can't charge us 270 percent and we charge them nothing, that doesn't work
anymore," he said.
He said he believes other countries are now more committed to a fairer trade relationship.
"I don't blame them, I blame our leaders," he said.
"In fact, I congratulate leaders of other leaders for so crazily being able to make
those trade deals that were so good for their country and bad for the United States."
But he promised an end to the situation, and even warned of penalties for countries that
do not remove trade barriers.
He also said that the North American Free Trade Agreement could either be renegotiated,
split up into separate trade deals, or the U.S. could pull out entirely.
"We are like the piggy bank that everybody is robbing," he said.
"And that ends."
He warned that the U.S. will take any action necessary to defend Americans from unfair
trade practices.
Despite the tension between Trump, Europe and Canada, the president has emphasized what
he has described as strong relations.
During a Friday meeting with Trudeau, who Trump has had an often uneasy relationship,
he joked that his Canadian counterpart had "agreed to cut all tariffs and trade barriers."
Trump said he didn't blame the other leaders for what he saw as an unbalanced trade relationship
which hurts the U.S.
In true Trump form, he came in and told the world how things were going to change.
Not caring about whose feathers were ruffled.
Trump is like no other.
We have had these horrible trade deals for 50 years and we have all just come to a place
of excepting it.
But not Trump, he is just completing another campaign promise.
Those days are over, either they join the U.S. in fair trade or those countries will
be left behind.
They all vow to rebuff the president, but in the end, we all know that Trump will win,
which in-turn means America wins.
