"Trump had a startled reaction to the TV ad that appeared during the first game of the World Series, placed by the provincial government of Ontario, featuring excerpts from President Reagan's radio talk in April 1987 in which he explained the danger of trade wars. Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD, Trump posted."
"Trump was apparently horrified at the sudden presence of the ghost of conservatism past, who had kept the outlandish bounder at arm's length and whom Trump regarded warily if not nervously. Reagan was the original, bigger and more successful performer, whose appeal was as the harbinger of morning in America, not the grim reaper of a zombie nightfall. Canada is being punished for Trump's fright."
Ontario ran a World Series television ad using excerpts of President Reagan's April 1987 radio talk warning about trade wars. Trump called the ad a fraud and a hostile misrepresentation, and he retaliated by imposing an additional 10% tariff on Canada. Trump alleged that Canada tried to influence the United States Supreme Court in a pending case challenging his tariff regime. The US Court of International Trade and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have ruled that most of Trump's tariffs were contrary to law and noted that tariffs are a core Congressional power not explicitly granted by the IEEPA.
