Dean Blundell is an idiot and desperate to keep a public profile so I wouldn't make too much of anything he alleges without a source.
There seems to be some mixed reporting in Canada. This article from April 10 says the reason Trump ‘paused’ tariffs was because countries that hold U.S. Treasury bonds, led by Canada,threatenedadvised Trump that they could sell their bonds and destroy the United States economy.
Carney’s Checkmate: How Canada's Quiet Bond Play Forced Trump to Drop Tariffs — Walla Walla Democrats
Let’s talk about the moment Donald Trump blinked. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t a tweetstorm or a rally rant. When the tariff threats that had the world on edge—125% on China, 25% on Canada’s autos, a global trade war in the making—suddenly softened. A “pause,” he called it. A complete turnaround from twww.wallawallademocrats.com
Online posts claiming Canada 'offloading' $400 billion in U.S. bonds are false
In March, several social media accounts made claims that Canada is dumping $400 billion worth of U.S. bonds, with some suggesting the move was in response to U.S. President Donaldwww.thecanadianpressnews.ca
Snopes, as of yesterday, seems unsure but leaning towards not true:
Unpacking claims that Canadian PM Mark Carney orchestrated a US Treasurys sell-off
The allegation came from a staunch supporter of Carney in Canada's upcoming federal election; Snopes contacted him and Carney for clarification.www.snopes.com
Carney’s hardly likely to admit it, is he? If he actually wants to win a parliamentary majority on April 28, maybe Carney should admit it?
There are claims that you can verify this by looking at publicly available trading totals. The Canadian Press seems to agree except for saying that similar moves occur annually.
I’m not doing my own research on this one.
Wsj is wishcasting. I have seen little evidence the GOP in the house has grown any balls.Murdoch owned WSJ:
Trump Wants to Be Impeached Again
"A future Trump impeachment seemed all but guaranteed by last Wednesday morning. It seems only slightly less likely now. It may even be desirable to restore America’s standing with creditors and trade partners..."
Is there anyone outside his admin supporting him anymore?
From The Insider:
In a fiery statement, China's Finance Ministry accused the US of "bullying" and said it risked becoming a "joke" on the world stage.
I think China is going to make Trump put his money where is mouth is. MAGATs will no longer be able to ignore the price of Chinese imports, or the fact that they are not available at all.
I think Trump will end up dropping tariffs on things like iphones and PCs and other ubiquitous things we get from China, leaving these tariffs only on the most arcane things we get from them, making them effectively null and void, but still trying to claim some sort of hollow victory that he didnt back down.

I think the half that support him will be sick of him when they are out of jobs or cannot afford to live with high double digit inflation. No politician is more important to voters than their wallets.Only half the voting public...
Blessed are the meek.I think the half that support him will be sick of him when they are out of jobs or cannot afford to live with high double digit inflation. No politician is more important to voters than their wallets.
LOLOLOL you're talking about people who got fired from their dream jobs by this man that still stand by their vote. You're talking about farmers who still stand by their vote despite getting a subsidy from Biden that have now been put on ice by the moron they voted for. You're talking about people that stand by their their vote even while Trump's ICE thugs are locking up their wife. There is ZERO chance his base wakes up. I see the mental gymnastics everywhere I look. We're past a point of a cold dose of reality waking up these idiots.I think the half that support him will be sick of him when they are out of jobs or cannot afford to live with high double digit inflation. No politician is more important to voters than their wallets.
