Please! Every intelligent American would love to trade brilliant Trudeau (whose first language is French, second language English, yet speaks his first language better than Trump blooples through “English”) for the moronic, simplistic Trump.
As to the specific deal involved, once again, Trump tries to take credit for contributions others actually created.
While there were many flaws in Obama’s Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) proposed trade agreement, the provisions regarding Canada were worked out by Obama.
Trudeau, much younger but far more younger than the senile Trump, recognized Trump’s ego-driven weakness, flattered him and praised him, suggested he could be brilliant with the proposals that OBAMA had negotiated, and Trump fell for it hook, line and stinker. So Trump gets credit for reforming NAFTA (with very little real change, but some much-needed reforms negotiated by Obama), and Trudeau saves an agreement while mitigating some of its worst shortcomings regarding protections for consumers, workers and our shared environment.
Once again, the guy who got his name put on a (ghost-written) book called The Art of the Deal, gets out-dealed by someone much younger, but more mature and definitely smarter.
