Donald Trump said he’d lob more tariffs on Canada, on Saturday. Hours later, Ontario’s ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs aired during game two of the World Series.

The ad was expected. The campaign was released by Ontario’s Premier, Doug Ford, and it has been the latest flash point in trade tensions between the US and its neighbor to the north.

The advertisement initially drew Trump’s ire on Thursday night, and he posted to Truth Social to say that he was terminating all trade negotiations with Canada. Ontario subsequently announced on Friday that the ad would be pulled by Monday, but only after it had been aired during Friday and Saturday’s World Series games.

    Trump is the exact opposite of everything Jesus Christ stands for in the Bible.

    Jesus: Feed the hungry. Trump: Takes away food stamps.
    Jesus: Heal the sick. Trump: takes away medicare and medicaid and is undermining affordable healthcare.
    Jesus: Fought authoritarianism in the temples, Trump: Acting like a fascist and having ICE use Gestapo methods, and attempted a coup once and is planning a new one.
    Jesus: Be humble. Trump is a flaming narcissist, always putting himself first.
    Jesus: Help the poor. Trump: Undermining everything that helps the poor and even middle class.
    Jesus: Be merciful and forgive. Trump: Extremely vengeful firing people he don’t like so they don’t get their pension, constantly threatening people who oppose him even the slightest.
    Jesus: Respect the law. Trump: No respect for the law, a criminal and a traitor, and disrespecting even the constitution.
