Trump Squeezed as Canada Fight Leads to Huge Voter Losses Just In Time for Midterms?!?
Summary
Michael Popok argues that Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada is backfiring, harming key Rust Belt states and alienating voters ahead of the midterms. He highlights Canada’s $30 billion in counter-tariffs and Mark Carney’s refusal to negotiate under pressure, contrasting this with Trump’s dismissive rhetoric. Popok also discusses Republican polling shifts and Trump’s aggressive, non-diplomatic approach to Iran, suggesting these strategies will damage GOP electoral prospects.
