And here I saw this as Trump wanting to prove to the country and rest of the world, he's loco in the cabeza, and that he wanted to make Canada dance by punching them squarely in the nose publicly, while his true target was China (trade) and Mexico (drugs and immigration), so he threw Canada in, to see what he could shake out of their pockets with zero effort. I get wanting to spin this as mockery of the bad man, and Trump is indeed a very terrible human being, but this isn't a win for anyone, with a 30 day timer counting down, to placate a man who hurts entire countries just because he can.
