Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

They never turned over Obama's real birth certificate.

So the dealmaker doesn't get money for his wall from Congress. He must get tired of winning so much.

He's still exhilarated from his historic electoral college win.

Merkel is trying to get a better relationship with Trump ... by inviting Ivanka to a panel discussion with Christine Lagarde and some other high-ranking politicians in Berlin on women's rights. That might actually work.  :hmm:


However...

Of course Ivanka has to promote her father's efforts on gender issues.  That pussy isn't going to grab itself.

Oh that's not helpful and no way to open a dialog.  :lol:

April 25, 2017
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke today with United States President Donald J. Trump.

The Prime Minister and the President reaffirmed the importance of the mutually-beneficial Canada-US trade relationship. On the issue of softwood lumber, the Prime Minister refuted the baseless allegations by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the decision to impose unfair duties. The Prime Minister stressed that the Government of Canada will vigorously defend the interests of the Canadian softwood lumber industry, as we have successfully done in all past lumber disputes with the U.S. The two leaders agreed on the importance of reaching a negotiated agreement, recognizing the integrated nature of the industry between Canada and the United States.

The Prime Minister and the President also discussed Canada-US trade in dairy products, trade which heavily favours the US: Canada imports over $550 million of dairy products from the US, but exports just over $110 million to the US. The Prime Minister reaffirmed that Canada upholds its international trade obligations, including the North American Free Trade Agreement, under which the US continues to have duty-free and quota-free access for milk protein substances, including diafiltered milk, and that Canada would continue to defend its interests.

The Prime Minister and the President agreed to continue their dialogue on these important bilateral issues.

Oh yeah, Syt, that's been noted.  We get more information from foreign governments than our own now.  That'll teach the fake news. Hateful!

Read the PRC's version from the last call with Xi.  Are the Chinese being dicks, too?
