Trump's 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 : Make America Gamble Again
Zelensky’s Deal Fell Through as Trump hammered him publicly time and again reffering to his 4% support.
Trump this week ramped up attacks on Zelensky, accusing him of somehow causing Russia’s invasion nearly three years ago, calling him a dictator and saying he has done a “terrible job” as the country’s leader.
During a news conference in Florida on Tuesday, Trump made unsupported claims about the Ukrainian leader’s approval rating, asserting it plummeted into the single digits.
the president said from his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort during the signing of several executive orders.
Recent polling of Zelensky’s approval rating does not match up with Trump’s claims; The Hill has reached out to the White House to comment on the discrepancy.
About 57 % of Ukrainians trust the country’s president, according to a Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) survey that was released Wednesday, while 37 percent don’t.
That marked a 5-point uptick in support for Zelensky, after the December iteration of the poll found that 52 percent trusted him while 39 percent did not.
Zelensky’s support, which has hovered in the 50s and 60s during last year, has declined in comparison to the initial months of the war.
His approval rating was 90% in the May 2022 version of the same survey.
All that Ukraine is worth for, according to Trump, is to be American raw material base that the present U.S. administration wants to use for their good.
That’s exactly what Trump's gamble is all about.

“Canada Is Playing With Fire: Ottawa’s Riskiest Gamble With the US Yet” 🇨🇦
Canada has announced it will impose tariffs on a wide range of key American industries, including cosmetics, dairy, wood products and outdoor equipment in the coming weeks, as it retaliates roughly “dollar for dollar” against levies imposed by the US.
In a strong Canadian countermove to tariffs levied by Trump, which took effect on Saturday after trade talks collapsed the day before, Canada’s finance and industry ministers on Tuesday called the measure a “focused response” to what they see as unfair trade practices.
The White House claimed it was using Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to protest against “discriminatory” trade policies by Canada, including provincial bans on US alcohol – a ban that was only implemented in protest against tariffs imposed on Canadian goods last year.
The prime minister, Mark Carney, had previously pledged a “dollar-for-dollar” response from his government after roughly 5% of exports to the US were singled out by the White House.
The retaliatory Canadian measures will cover C$27.6bn in imports and are meant to target key industries including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper.
The list from Ottawa has more than 700 items, ranging from hockey sticks to ornamental fish and toilet paper to smoked lobster, with most of the tariffs set at 25% or 50%. A small group of items, including air conditioning units and tool parts, will face a lower 15% tariff. The levies will be effective starting 8 September and only apply to goods originating from the US.
In announcing the retaliatory measures, the finance minister, François-Philippe Champagne, said the country was united in its fight against the US, telling attendees that Canada remained “masters of our own home”.
The industry minister, Mélanie Joly, called on businesses and consumers to buy Canadian goods as part of a broader “resistance” movement in the trade war.
“You have power,” she said.
The government also announced more than C$7bn in support for businesses affected by the latest tariffs, adding to more than C$20bn in support announced over the past 18 months.
Canada’s decision to retaliate means both countries have doubled down on a trade war that could cost billions.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said he was giving “serious consideration” to changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America” – reminiscent of his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Others pointed out that Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, was named after the lake, not the other way around.
Trump’s frustration with Ontario in particular stems from his feud with the province’s premier, Doug Ford, who called the president a “loser” and the “king of bankruptcies” and told the US president to “kiss my ass”. He also threatened to cut electricity and rare earth metal exports to the US.
Trump called Ford a “flunky” of “Governor Carney” and warned “these clowns to ‘fall in line’ or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!”
Trump later alluded to revelations that his trade negotiators had looked to weaken French language rules, saying he would “never interfere” with Canadians speaking French, calling it a “lie (…) made up by a weak and ineffective Prime Minister in an attempt to gain political support”.
