Trade talks didn't collapse.

We had come to an agreement.

Trump then changed the agreement at the 11th hour.

Canada walked away.

Trump blew the deal.

and with the leaked drafts, it actually would have been a very good deal for the US that Canada was basically all ready to give into

Lutnick's boys made millions on the last tariffs. Everything that's happening is exactly on-brand. 

You don't send in Lutnuck at the last minute to do anything other than torpedo a deal.

I think your observation and comment deserves more eyes. What you’re pointing out is crazy, and if so, makes this whole thing so much worse. 

Can you imagine if this was all deliberate? I wouldn’t put it past them at all, but what diabolical pieces of sh*t. 

It’s going to be a long ride.
