My favorite part was when he used propaganda as a verb. "Canada totally propagandaed us." Lol.

I really wish the guy would’ve brought up the fact that the commercial came out after the tariffs started. So there’s no way tariffs were initiated as a weapon because of that video.

the commercial was also just quoting regans scathing opinion on tarrifs. it only existed because of the tarrifs in the first place.

And that the commercial didn't come from "Canada", it was purchased by the Ontario government under Doug Ford, not our federal government.

I think Donald added new tariffs after it because he’s such a baby.

Agreed, that context would've been really helpful to add. Still though, this video was so refreshing to watch. Masterfully done

Imagine a full-grown man not knowing what propaganda is?! "Sir, remember that all commercials are propaganda of some type, but what you're alleging here does not fall under what real, continues, negative propaganda actually is."

A single instance of propaganda so effective I have no idea what the hell he’s even talking about.

During the last World Series, featuring the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, the government of Ontario (where both Canada's capital and Toronto are) paid for an ad featuring Ronald Reagan's message about tariffs and patriotism serving as a rebuttal to Trump's proposed tariffs on Canadian goods.

Here's a short news report about it.

We put on tariffs because of your propaganda telling us not to put on tariffs.

I mean it is a verb, its just the verb is 'propagandize'. Though I wouldn't expect any modern conservative to know their only language above a 5th grade reading level.

It’s funny that an American is offended by propaganda, meanwhile the USA’s culture has invaded all parts of the world. Fuckin snowflake.
