An American Game Show Host Has Destroyed America as a Trading Nation

Canada, is a trading nation. It trades 75% of its GDP with other nations, and has done so successfully for almost 80 years.

Unfortunately, 70% of that trade was with the United States.

The rationale for doing so was simple.

America, was almost ten times larger than Canada, and consumed almost all of what we produced.

At its height, trade with America encompassed 85% of Canada’s trade.

But no more.

Starting with Trump 1, the NAFTA was torn up, unilaterally by trump, and a new version of NAFTA was created, CUSMA, the Canadian U.S. Mexico Agreement on Trade. Trump called it, “The Greatest Trade Agreement Ever”, until it wasn’t.

So, once again in 2025, Trump 2, as sage as he is, tore up the agreement again, lied about his rationale for doing so and the actual trade deficit itself, in an effort to apply leverage and threaten Canada.

But this time the Master of the Steal, went further, and threw globalization and world trade under the bus.

There is, however, a few serious problems in America that presage this iteration in its possibly highly problematic outcome.

America is incredibly indebted, owning around 43 Trillion dollars.

America has a massive wealth inequality problem. There is no inclusive growth, with the bottom half of Americans owning a minuscule amount of the wealth.

America, despite spending immense sums on health care, ranks below all other advanced economies in health outcomes.

America spends more on defence than all of NATO’s top 20 other contributors combined in 2020.

American consumption is conspicuous, accounting for 68% of the U.S. GDP. All roads, and ships, led to Rome, now the U.S.

But Trump has now changed the game, entirely, and the effects for everyone, including America, will be profound.

America only accounts for 16-20% of global GDP, so the rest of the world accounts for 4 times that amount.

And now, Trump with his Tariffs on the World strategy has created the exact scenario where “it is easy to imagine a scenario in which other countries decide that they no longer want to rely so much on the U.S. consumer. Why not diversify?’

Canada, has been, since Trump 1, doing just that. Canada, still the country that buys more American goods than any other nation, so much so that it buys more than Japan, the U.K. and the E.U. Combined, intends to drop America as a buyer of its goods.

Canada is intent on lowering exports to the U.S. by 75%.

Europe, constrained by debt limits prior to Trump’s trade war with the world, has now increased its limits, and will spend 850 Billion Euros on its defence, effectively supplanting America entirely.

And almost all of these purchases will be made within the E.U.’s military industrial complex without any purchases from the U.S.

Canada, who will spend upwards of 80 Billion a year from now on, is buying SSBN or SSGN subs from either Korea, Japan or France, while it buys the remainder of its arms from E.U. And U.K. partners, producing much of those weapons and munitions within Canada.

For Canada, while the current situation isn’t optimal, it has forced Canada to curtail trade with the U.S. and has inked agreements with Japan, the E.U., the U.K., Korea and China as of late. Minerals, resources, oil, gases including LNG and CNG will now be exported to China, replacing America.

Canada will build new pipelines, something it should have done 20 years ago, linking Canada’s east coast, west coast and the Arctic Ocean through Churchill, Manitoba.

Within a few years, likely during Trump’s tenure as Supreme Leader of the American Kleptocracy, Canada will have removed all of America’s leverage with Canada, replacing its trade with other nations while maintaining counter tariffs and countervailing duties against the U.S.

Rather than onshoring, it is just as likely that Trump’s actions will drive companies that need to do business with the world, out of America.

One thing is certain. Trump has destroyed globalization as we knew it, and the new trading blocks that are created will be exclusive of the U.S.

The world doesn’t want a nation that extorts others to its benefit.

And, as for Canada, we won’t be coming back to seek selling anything to the U.S.

Trump has destroyed the world trade order, and it will be Americans as well that will face that reality in very short order.

Good bye America.

We’re done.
