WYM ModPaul Krugman asks: Is President Trump's Canada tariff threat about ego, not trade? Despite claims of Canada as a 'drop-off port' for China, USMCA rules and tiny deal size contradict this narrative, suggesting a bruised ego after Davos. A trade war would devastate both economies.

RedwoodSecSo now we understand why Trump bombed Iran: his ego is so inflated, he’s chasing a Nobel Peace Prize for supposedly neutralizing a nuclear threat that doesn’t actually exist. This feels like a repeat of the Bush-Cheney playbook—another Iraq WMD-style deception. He sidelined his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, for telling the truth: that the U.S. intelligence community had found no evidence Iran was producing nuclear material for military purposes. Their nuclear program, according to assessments, was focused on energy, not weapons.
So should Trump get a Nobel Peace Prize for this? Should Bush and Cheney have received one for launching a war on false pretenses? Absolutely not. Just like Iraq, this attack on Iran is pure political theater—another move to align with and bolster Israel’s aggressive regional agenda. Nothing more, nothing less. #uspol #iran #israel #nobel #nobelprize #trumpego #maga
