Rand Paul is wrong. We do grow #coffee in the US. Not a huge amount, but some of it is among the best in the world, particularly Hawai'ian Kona coffee. HI is part of the US. Coffee is also grown in Puerto Rico, which is also part of the US, and on a small scale in California. #USpol #TrumpTariff #economics

I've read a lot of commentary about Ontario's anti-#TrumpTariff, #RonaldReagan advertising.

The most insightful comment I saw was in the #GlobeAndMail: this is how Pres. Trump negotiates. He was always going to give signs that a deal was close, then blow up the negotiations over something. These ads were a pretext; if it hadn't been the ads, it would be something else.

As for the ads themselves, I hope that when the White House crashes the economy, Rs will remember what they used to believe.

The escalation was triggered by an advertisement, funded by the #Canadian provincial government of #Ontario, which aired during the World Series.
