President Donald Trump left out a key detail this week when he outlined his plans for a massive missile and air defense shield over the continent: He can’t build it without Canada.
Ottawa has historically funded about 40 percent of NORAD investments, according to VanHerck, and is putting $38 billion into the command to add new radars in the north over the next two decades. Without those investments — and additional sensors that can peer over the North Pole — officials believe the U.S. will have trouble putting together a credible North American air defense.
That’s bcz the art of the deal is a lie The Apprentice show sold everyone to make Trump look like an intelligent business person. They’re probably half the reason MAGA people think he’s a genius businessman.
The other half is they perceive him as a gangster, and they like gangsters.
They like white gangsters. Insert Family Guy “OKAY” vs. “NOT OKAY” skin tone sign.
When he ‘wrote’ the book he did an unbelievably bad deal with the co-author. That guy got his name on the cover and half the royalties. He’s never stopped talking about what a chump Donnie is.
