President Donald Trump was once again fact-checked following an embarrassing tantrum over a Canadian advertisement.

The ad quoted former U.S. President Ronald Reagan from 38 years ago criticizing tariffs – a policy tool Trump frequently employs.

    No he’s not humiliated, the guy can’t be humiliated, he’s a giant narcissist. He’ll simply day the facts are wrong and he’s right and that’ll be the end of it.

      I wrote a similar reply to this post before I saw yours.

      I DESPISE this kind of perspective-isolating, emotion-validating, reinforced fantasy world that media has created.

      Fuck this kind of clickbait, fuck people who post it. Sorry OP.
