BAD PRESIDENT
Trump Declares Canada a National Security Threat and Accuses Them of Burning Down the White House

President Donald Trump has now chosen to accuse Canada of being a national security threat in order to support his decision to impose strong steel and aluminum import tariffs on the country that is America’s second-largest trading partner.
In a “testy” telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Trump falsely accused his neighbors to the North of having burned down the White House.
