    You know, everyone here is basically saying Ford is pro-Trump and this is fake, but I’d like to point out he has gotten along really well with Trudeau behind closed doors, and he has a fresh mandate that would allow him to not say this if he wanted. He’s a transphobe IIRC and definitely a blowhard, but maybe he’s on the right side this time.

      I am not a Ford fan, but I do trust his motives. He doesn’t want the US to destroy us because he wants to continue enriching himself and his friends. Trade wars are bad for capitalism. He is a capitalist. Free trade is good at making people rich. Trade wars are not.

      So no, I don’t think Ford is pro-Trump. He’s pro-profit and when Trump was all about business, he supported some of what Trump said, now that Trump has shown he is anti-business, Ford is against him.

      There is no doubt in my mind.
