The unedited version even more supports his distaste for tariffs. He was a big fan of immigration too. Now the stewards of his legacy are bootlickers, something Reagan never was.

Did you listen to the link you posted? Reagan actually went even further criticizing tariffs than in the clip from the commercial.

If that’s all it takes for him to cut off negotiations, he wasn’t serious about the negotiations anyway. And how long does any agreement with the mad king last? At least now he won’t waste Canada’s time so they can focus on deals with other countries.
