No not really. His family made billions in a mere matter of months after opening these really shady opaque businesses with secret mystery clients. He started an opaque Crypto “investment” businesses and made billions in a matter of months from secret “investors” The brother of the UAE prince gave Trump half a billion dollars in “investments” and miraculously Trump then removes a UAE-from a list of countries banned from accessing the most advanced quantum computing chips. They also openly promote an exclusive and private club they started called “Executive Branch” with an annual membership fee of $500,000 per year that offers access to Washington officials. And then there’s all the sketchy merch ugly low quality sneakers, ugly low quality watches, worthless NFTs, memes coins etc that are made by mysterious anonymous hard-to trace entities actively attempting to conceal their identity and are being bought by mysterious buyers for absurdly exorbitant prices beyond This the most on-the-take president the world has ever seen from what was an advanced democracy

LMAO TRUMP DID NOT GO TO WAR TO RESCUE WOMEN IN HIJABS. And you don’t give a f-ck about them either so quit your fake moral posturing Women have it way worse in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other places in Gulf that You Republicans just love to death. Why don’t you start there you big phoney?

They have several 1) Trump family cryptoscam businesses are just secretive dark money bribe mechanisms 2) Trump family “Executive Branch” bribe club charges a $500,000 per year annual bribe fee to secret list of members 3) Sleazy Vegas casino billionaires Miriam Adelson and her now deceased husband are Trump’s biggest donors, personally gave him a quarter billion dollars in the last election, and are also major rabid pro-Israel Zionists. Watch Trump praise the fact that she has divided loyalties between US and Israel and is his biggest donor 4) Since you like conspiracies, how about one based on the FACT that Trump’s longtime best friend and party pal Jeffrey Epstein had deep ties to the Israeli government and intelligence establishment. Does Israel have Kompromat on Trump?

I love how just days ago, before Trump starting begging NATO and the international community for help opening the strait of Hormuz his chief propagandists attacked CNN for accurately reporting that the Trump admin had been absolutely unprepared to deal with the Strait of Hormuz. And despite all the Republican hate speech CNN’s reporting is proven to be completely spot on as the Trump admin flounders.

Israel wasn’t conducting any strikes in that part of the country. There are no other countries dumb enough or craven enough to be part of this stupid pointless war.

Weapons buying under PM Carney an 'eyewatering increase' for Canada: Desjardins From a satellite-maker to a company that helps underwater drones tell the difference between a rock and a naval mine, Canada’s humble military supply sector is lighting up the stock market as investors eye billions in new government spending. A new report by Desjardins notes an “eyewatering increase” in weapons purchases since Prime Minister Mark Carney took office last year. As tension mounted with the United States, Ottawa in 2025 committed to its biggest military spending hike since the Second World War. Overall, $81.8 billion in new spending over five yearswas earmarked to strengthen the Canadian Armed Forces. Carney’s decision to tap former Goldman Sachs banker Doug Guzman to deploy those funds through a new government agency boosted enthusiasm among investors when it was announced last year, waking up a historically sleepy corner of Canada's stock market. Desjardins deputy chief economist Randall Bartlett says, so far, the deployment of dollars is living up to the hype. “One of the most surprising contributions to the advance in domestic demand in Q4 2025 was the eyewatering increase in government investment in weapons systems,” he wrote in a research note on Friday. “In inflation-adjusted terms, Canadian purchases of weapons jumped more than 800 per cent quarter-over-quarter annualized at the end of the year relative to Q3. That follows a more than 1,300 per cent advance [in] the prior quarter.” According to Statistics Canada figures cited by Desjardins, the federal government’s real spending on weapons systems in 2025 was nearly double its historic peak reached in 2010 during the War in Afghanistan. “If spending on weapons systems in 2026 looks anything like it did in the second half of 2025, this year could see the largest share of output going to defence in at least the last 65 years,” Bartlett wrote. Statistics Canada’s definition of military weapons systems is broad. It spans “vehicles and other equipment such as warships, submarines, military aircrafts, tanks, missile carriers and launchers.” Government accounting spreads these investments over the life of the asset, rather than booking the expense all at once. Single-use items, such as bullets and missiles, as well as structures, such as military bases and airports, are not included. … https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/weapons-buying-under-pm-carney-an-eyewatering-increase-for-canada-desjardins-150812340.html More “trees” for the lying right wing twats

You did not post ANY evidence. I posted ample evidence which you ignored. 1) THERE IS NO $2 BILLION DOLLAR TREE PROGRAM YOU HAVE COMPLETELY MADE THAT UP This has been pointed out to you already so now you must just be deliberately lying 2) THE ARE NOT “CANCELLING THE REST OF THE TREE PROGRAM aAMD ROLLING WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT INTO THE MILITARY PROGRAM Again something made up by you amd not even what your stupid article alleged Like you’re just totally making up your own shit now. You read a headline, couldn’t read any of the article, and now are inventing your own fictional story with no evidence. Aren’t you embarrassed to have to resort to such shameless lies?

Oh look Here’s another “tree” being planted on Wednesday Secretary of State Fuhr to announce contract award to support Canadian Armed Forces space operations From: Defence Investment Agency Media advisory March 16, 2026 – Gatineau, Quebec The Honourable Stephen Fuhr, Secretary of State (Defence Procurement), will announce a contract award related to the Surveillance of Space 2 project. Please note that all details are subject to change. Date: March 18, 2026 Time: 10:30 am (Pacific Daylight Time) Location: Richmond, British Columbia

Liar. I CORRECTLY said THE CANADIAN MILITARY doesn’t have a special tree planting programs. And I CORRECTLY said that any country’s military even in Donald Trumps America normal maintenance and upkeep of military bases and housing including any trees planted as a result is a legitimate NATO expense. You are the one twisting and turning trying to defend a false accusation based solely on the headline of a politically motivated article you didn’t even read. So you just repeat your zero-fact accusations over and over even though I have soundly debunked and buried your claim in facts. It’s pathetic Your whole MO on this site is that no mater how badly your argument is eviscerated you never have to admit defeat you just repost your debunked claims and wait for the other person to get tired of repeating themselves. You have no life outside of this forum so you’re happy to stay online and simply outlast the other person. It really is a shameful existence you have going on there. We will find out when the fiscal year closes.

Meanwhile back in reality another day another big defence spending announcement Minister McGuinty Announces Strategic Investments in Sovereign Space Launch From: National Defence News release March 16, 2026 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces Amid a more complex and unpredictable security environment, Canada is taking decisive actions to strengthen its security and sovereignty and to reinforce the resilience and long-term strength of the country. Today in Ottawa, the Honourable David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence, announced an historic $200 million investment in core infrastructure for a Canadian-owned spaceport, along with other major new space-related capabilities and initiatives. This marks a significant step forward in Canada’s sovereign space program as outlined in Security, Sovereignty, Prosperity: Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy. Canadian-owned spaceport Demand for timely and resilient launch options are at historic highs worldwide and sovereign access to space has become a critical capability underpinning national security, economic competitiveness, and reliable access to essential space‑based services. The investment is a 10‑year, $200‑millionagreement to lease a dedicated space‑launch pad that will serve as the central foundation for a multi-user spaceport near Canso, Nova Scotia. Operated by Maritime Launch Services, this spaceport will support the operational needs of the Department of National Defence (DND), the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), and the wider Government of Canada, while also offering ad hoc access to allies and partners. Launch the North Minister McGuinty also announced was the selection of innovators for the first round of the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program’s Launch the North contest. This contest is providing $105 million in multi-year grants to support the development and demonstration of breakthrough technologies to advance Canada’s sovereign space launch capabilities. The goal of this challenge is to enable the launch of Canadian payloads from Canadian soil, achieving an initial light lift operational capability by 2028. For the first round of this contest, the following three highly ranked applicants have each been conditionally approved for $8.3 million in funding: NordSpace – NordSpace Tundra Canadian Responsive Scalable Launch Canada Rocket Company - Canadian Sovereign Launch Capability Development (R1) Reaction Dynamics - Aurora-8 Responsive Launch Vehicle These innovators will move their ideas from concept to prototype and testing, helping Canada build the technical readiness and partnerships required for a future sovereign launch capability. NATO STARLIFT In recognition of Canada’s firm commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Minister McGuintyannounced that Canada intends to become a full member of the NATO STARLIFT initiative. STARLIFT is a NATO High Visibility Project, which aims to develop a more resilient, responsive and cost-effective network of space launch capabilities to help Allies launch assets at short notice from spaceports across the Alliance. Sovereign launch program These announcements support Security, Sovereignty, Prosperity: Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy, which establishes a long-term framework to develop a robust Canadian defence industry that provides technological and operational advantage to the CAF and its security partners in their mission to defend Canada, and maximizes growth, job creation and economic benefits for all Canadians. Within the strategy, space launch is identified as a key sovereign capability. Canada is taking a major step toward securing its future in the rapidly evolving space domain by advancing a core pillar of its emerging sovereign launch program, first outlined in Budget 2025. This effort positions the country to launch satellites and payloads from Canadian soil, on Canadian‑built rockets, at Canadian‑run facilities. The sovereign launch program outlines how Canada will leverage a variety of tools, including directed procurements, grant and contribution programs, support from Crown Corporations, and regulatory changes, to advance sovereign capabilities. As global demand for space launch services continues to surge, countries around the world are investing in responsive, reliable, and independent space access. Canada’s decision to partner with Maritime Launch Services reflects a forward‑looking commitment to our security, sovereignty, and economic prosperity, while positioning itself to meet strategic needs and fuelling domestic innovation and industry growth. Quotes Quick facts Budget 2025 announced an investment of $182.6M over the next three years to establish a sovereign launch program. That program includes capability development, led by DND’s Defence Research and Development Canada, and launch infrastructure, led by the Royal Canadian Air Force and supported by DND’s Assistant Deputy Minister (Infrastructure and Environment). Reliable and independent launch access will enable Canada to place critical satellites into orbit even during global uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, or disruptions in foreign launch markets. With military, emergency response, and government services increasingly dependent on space-based systems, sovereign launch protects national interests and enables continuity of operations. The 10-year lease agreement stipulates that Maritime Launch Services must provide a dedicated launch pad and associated services at an initial operational capability state by the end of 2026. It also stipulates that 90% of the funds received by the company from the lease must be spent in Canada. That means at least $180 milliongoing back to Canadian businesses. IDEaS is DND’s innovation program that helps Canadian innovators develop solutions to defence and security challenges through competitive funding and targeted challenge calls. The IDEaS program’s Launch the North is designed to accelerate Canadian space launch-related innovation and to strengthen the foundations needed for future sovereign launch capability. A total of $105 million is planned for investment in this challenge, with $25 million allocated for fiscal year 2025–26, followed by $40 million annually in fiscal years 2026–27 and 2027–28. Projects were selected through a competitive, merit-based process considering criteria such as technical merit, feasibility, team capability, impact, and alignment with defence and security priorities. The global space economy is expected to reach approximately $2 trillion by 2040. Investing in sovereign launch capability now means that Canadians and their businesses can benefit for decades to come. This investment supports a stronger, more connected Canadian space ecosystem—bringing together industry, academia, and research organizations. They will help grow high-value jobs, strengthen Canadian supply chains, and position Canadian firms to compete in the global space economy—while supporting defence and security objectives. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2026/03/minister-mcguinty-announces-strategic-investments-in-sovereign-space-launch.html

You don’t know what you’re talking about, plain and simple. This has all been explained ad nauseum If the expenses are illegitimate then NATO wont give Canada credit for it and Canada will still be short in their books so what would be the point?

You clearly can’t follow. NOBODY IS CLAIMING THAT THE ENTIRE 2 BILLION TREE PROGRAM WAS DONE UNDER THE DEFENCE BUDEGT. NOT EVEN YOUR FAKE NEWS ARTICLE THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN READ 1) The military’s housing program planned to plant 14,500 trees over 5 years across most of its bases at a cost to them of $400,000 per year, 2)For reference JUST ONE city, London Ontario alone routinely plants 5,000 to 10,000 trees EVERY YEAR just for general upkeep and maintenance for trees that die, get infected, come down in storms, etc So that one community plants 2x-3x more trees every year than the entire military did across all of its communities coast to coast = therefore military did not have s “large scale planting program” THE MILITARY SPENT AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON AN INSIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TREES IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF ITS HOUSING PROGRAM 3) the 2Bn trees program is not a military program, it is not Department of National Defence. The only connection is they agreed they could count the DND’s 14,500 trees towards their own program’s total, an agreement they had with every other federal department not just defence I was correct and you once again prove you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. ps I didn’t run away from that thread I took the argument here because unlike you pathetic no-life unhinged nutjobs who spend your entire life online, I am not having the same argument in 2 threads. One of the reasons you guys are so politically rabid and out of touch with reality is because you spend almost all your waking time online. Seriously I can reply to you at any time of the day or night and boom you reply. You’re at my beckon call 24/7 like I own you. How many hours a day are you on here or on the internet in general? It’s bad for your mental health. Get a hobby and some personal relationships.

LMAO I never said there was no tree planting effort. I have presented numerous facts and logical arguments debunking this claim and you have not been able to refute a single one of them You don’t know nothing about this subject. You amd CdnFox have teamed up for another “cans of gasoline” shitshow of gibberish that is way over your head So if you want to believe that Mark Carney launched a plot to add $400,000 per year to a $41 BILLION (with B ) annual defence budget by time-travelling back to 2022 when he wasn’t even PM then there’s no convincing you otherwise I guess now that the cat’s out of the bag we should soon hear NATO declare that as far as they’re concerned they’re only recording that Canada spent 40.99996 Billion not $41 Billion Right? Imagine a G7 country went through all that plotting and trickery and deceit just so they could underspend the NATO target by $400, 000. WOW. I mean that’s like almost 1 penny from every Canadian. Or they could have come to me for the money, I am a supporter of the military, I have $400k in my rrsp I could have lent them

It is a lie and and you have not shown any facts Nothing different or unusual is happening here This part of what you are claiming is partially true but lacks important context. 1) NATO established a VOLUNTARY target of 2% of GDP in 2014. Canada signed that non/binding pledge but in reality chose not to spend this much. They didn’t “cook the books” or violate standards they just never followed through like most NATO countries 2) NATO had set the standards and guidelines of what would count as spending towards their target and what doesn’t. This is a NATO standard, meaning it only matters whether NATO thinks you are meeting the spending. So what would be the point of planting trees to meet the NATO targets if NATO isn’t going to recognize it? Like every single MAGA who lives their life online, you have not applied any critical thinking to this topic I am tired of repeating myself. There was no investigation, you didn’t read the article because it’s behind a paywall, and the agreement for the insignificant number of trees was signed years ago. Why do you refuse to even acknowledge this key point? You just repeat your original arguments and ignore all rebuttals because you have you have no intelligent response. How dense are you?? The lie is that the very normal thing is actually a scheme to “cook the books. Can you not understand that? Both the Western Standard and Blacklocks articles are behind paywalls. Cooy-paste the article here if you claim otherwise. Both are also privately owned right-wing echo chamber outlets uh I presented a ton of evidence which you obviously have no rebuttal for so you are borrowing a page from cdnfox and just say “so you have no evidence”. You fools think that’s a magic sentence that you can just bust out in any argument at any time to automatically win. Hilarious low IQ MOVE. If the points I raised are somehow insufficient you will need to explain why and rebut them you can’t just arbitrarily declare them “Bs” simply because they disagree with your preferred narrative. Wtf are you talking about?? Now you’re claiming he spent 2 BILLION ON TREES? It’s 1 million so you’re only by 2,000x that’s pretty accurate for you Is it not enough for you to repeat this fake news, you have to embellish it with your own exaggerations? The MAGA fake news bubble is just like a sewing circle or what black people call the “nigga-net” you just gossip and believe anything you hear from any random person as little as it’s “juicy” and you embellish and exaggerate every story until it’s distorted beyond all recognition. Hilarious. As I already pointed out to your adhd brain, this insignificant number of trees was agreed to in 2022 which is well before Carney was PM and before any pledge to meet 2%. In fact zdo you recall rhis headline from 2023? Why would we tell NATO we will “NEVER” reach 2%, while trying to include an insignificant tree planting money to convince them that we will (and while still falling short by tens of billions as we were back then)? NATO has specific rules about what they will and will not consider counting towards a country meeting its 2% U.S. report claims Trudeau told NATO Canada will never meet its military spending target https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/canadian-forces-nato-washington-post-1.6815616 Think about it: The whole point of spending 2% of GDP on defense is to appease NATO and USA. WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT OF SPENDING DEFENCE MONEY ON PROGRAMS THEY DON’T COUNT???

Well that must be the only plausible explanation. YOU’RE not the one getting dumber it must the rest of the country, right? 😂

See my previous post I’m done repeating myself

You are being deliberately obtuse. Everything has been explained to you multiple times now. There is nothing unusual or abnormal happening here. Canada didn’t “change the standards” Canada complies with the NATO standards If there had never been any national tree planting program or any 2% NATO spending pledge and if even ifTrump-loving Conservatives ran Canada, the defence budget would STILL include the cost of any trees the military planted on their properties. When the US military plants trees on their property it counts in the US defense budget. I don’t know how many other ways I can explain this to you. There’s nothing different or unusual happening here No, you’re lying. Western standard doesn’t have “investigative reporters” and the article is behind a paywall so you have no idea what it actually says or what “numbers” they did or didn’t look at. re you as bad at math as you are logic? Let’s try to apply some abductive reasoning and recap some point I already explained to you 1) As I already educated you: the MOU for these trees was signed in 2022, long before Carney was elected and pledged to meet the NATO target So that alone sinks your whole argument right there 2) The Federal Lands stream of the 2 billion trees program was specifically designed for tree planting projects with various federal government departments that have federally owned land. The military was not even the largest of these. For example The National Capital Commission agreement covered 88,500 trees and Parks Canada is in the millions. So again the claim that there was a plot to pad the military budget falls apart. 3) Logically, 14,500 out of TWO BILLION is an extremely small insignificant amount, statistically zero percent ….0.000725% in fact. So it would be absurd to suggest these trees were dreamed up as part of the 2 billion trees program 4) According to Chat GPT the cost to DND to plant these trees over 5 years is a maximum of $1 million or $200,000 per year, an invisible ROUNDING ERROR in the scheme of the $41 Billion per year DND budget so it’s absurd to suggest there’s a sinister plot to “pad” the budget by 0.000487805% 5) 14,500 over 5 YEARS is a normal and reasonable number of trees given the massive lands the Canadian defence department holder and the major housing projects they have planned 6) The people who originally complained about this federal lands stream were the pro-tree people accusing Trudeau’s 2 billion trees pledge of including trees the government was going to plant anyway 6)

New Abacus Poll: Liberal Lead Widens to 11 as Government Approval Hits New High March 15, 2026 Between March 4 and 11, 2026, Abacus Data surveyed 1,931 Canadian adults as part of our ongoing federal political tracking. This wave of research captures public opinion almost exactly one year after Mark Carney became Prime Minister and formed a government following his election as Liberal Party leader. It was also conducted after the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and mostly before the floor crossing of a New Democratic Party Member of Parliament to the Liberal caucus later in the week. Our latest tracker finds the Liberals now holding an 11-point national lead over the Conservatives, their largest advantage in Abacus tracking since August 2021. Approval of the federal government has reached a new high since Carney took office. Optimism about the country’s direction has improved substantially compared with the period before the 2025 election. And for the first time in our tracking, more Canadians say the Liberals deserve to be re-elected than say it is time for change and that there is a good alternative. Taken together, the findings suggest that one year into the Carney government, the political environment is very favourable for the governing party even as Canadians continue to navigate economic pressure and a volatile, precarious global environment. Direction of the Country: A More Balanced Mood Public sentiment about the direction of the country is far more balanced today than it was during the period leading up to the 2025 federal election. Currently, 42 percent of Canadians say the country is headed in the right direction while 43 percent say it is on the wrong track. This near-even split marks a significant improvement compared with early 2025 when pessimism clearly outweighed optimism. The contrast between how Canadians see their own country and how they view the rest of the world remains striking. Only 12 percent believe the world is headed in the right direction while 79 percent say it is on the wrong track. Views of the United States are similarly negative, with only 13 percent saying it is moving in the right direction and 79 percent saying it is on the wrong track. .... In a political environment where concerns about global instability and the direction of the United States remain prominent, this advantage gives the Liberals a powerful structural benefit. Government Approval: Highest Since Carney Took Office Approval of the federal government has reached a new high since Mark Carney became Prime Minister. Currently, 56 percent of Canadians approve of the job the federal government is doing while 28 percent disapprove. Maintaining majority approval one year into a government’s mandate is notable, especially since it followed another Liberal government with a 10-year track record.. These numbers suggest that Canadians are broadly comfortable with the direction and tone of the government’s leadership during this period. …. Leader Impressions: Carney Positive, Poilievre More Polarizing Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to maintain strong personal ratings. About half of Canadians have a positive impression of the Prime Minister while fewer than three in ten hold a negative view, giving him a net favourability score of +25, an improvement from two weeks ago. Carney’s personal standing has strengthened meaningfully since he first became Prime Minister. A year ago, his net favourability stood at +11. Today it sits at +25, reflecting a significant improvement in his personal brand with the Canadian public. Pierre Poilievre’s numbers remain more polarized but his numbers are steady. His net favourability stands at −8, reflecting a more divided public reaction to the Conservative leader. Leader impressions remain strongly aligned with vote intention. Among those who hold a positive impression of Carney, 70 percent say they would vote Liberal today. Among those with a positive impression of Poilievre, nearly three quarters say they would vote Conservative. The difference lies in the relative size of those positive universes. Carney’s positive coalition remains significantly larger. Vote Intention: Liberals Lead by Eleven If an election were held today, the Liberals would receive 46 percent of the vote among decided voters compared with 35 percent for the Conservatives. The New Democratic Party stands at 7 percent, the Bloc Québécois at 7 percent, the Greens at 3 percent, and the People’s Party at 1 percent. This represents a two-point increase for the Liberals and a three-point decline for the Conservatives compared with our previous wave. Demographically, the Liberals perform especially well among older Canadians, leading 53 percent to 32 percent among those aged 60 and over. They also lead widely among younger voters aged 18 to 29 and maintain a significant 17-point advantage among women. These coalitions combine to produce the largest national Liberal lead in Abacus tracking since August 2021. ….https://abacusdata.ca/new-abacus-poll-liberal-lead-widens-to-11-as-government-approval-hits-new-high/ 338 Sunday Update: Liberals Reach New Highs Latest polls suggest the federal race has shifted dramatically in recent weeks, lifting the Liberal projection above the 200-seat mark — an all-time high. If Canadians had been heading to the voting booths this week, the Carney Liberals would be on track to win a massive majority, according to the trends measured by federal polls over the past six weeks. … https://www.338canada.ca/p/338-sunday-update-liberals-reach

That is not fact. NATO sets the standard for what counts as military spending for the purpose of meeting their target And that includes upkeep and maintenance of housing and military bases whether or not trees were a par of that 1) The cost of the “national effort to plant . billions of trees” has not been included in military costs, full stop. 2) In fact it’s the other way around: the 14,500 trees planted on various military housing and bases and - which are and always have been legitimately included in defense spending - are being counted toward the “2 billion trees” planting program under a 2022 MOU between the military and Natural Resources Canada, i.e. long before Carney was in office and therefore long before his 2% spending pledge for this year. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2022/08/09/news/department-national-defence-planting-trees-military-housing-sites#:~:text=By,of the federal %232BillionTrees program.

More “doing nothing” from recent weeks. LMAO What’s hilarious is that the reality outside of the conservative opposite-of-reality fake news bubble is how much money is being spent so quickly people are worrying it’s being spent too fast Will it total 2% of GDP by the end of the month?

The lie is that the government is try to claim “large scale tree planting” programs unrelated to defence as defence costs. I did mot try to defend or justify that because is a lie The costs of maintaining military housing and bases, which may or may not happen to include landscaping are counted as defense spending IN EVERY COUNTRY including USA and if that landscaping happens to include any trees that get planted then that also included IN EVERY COUNTRY. The claim about trees is a s true as saying Donald Trump is trying to claim pasta as defence spending because troops had spaghetti for dinner last night. Get it?

That’s already been explained to you. It landscaping that’s happening on military bases and military housing sites, not “large scale planting”. Your insistence in spread fake news even when you’ve been educated to the contrary is astounding. Well your opinions are both stupidity and contrary to ours. So both statements are true.

Not a sh-t ton. A normal amount. We don’t have free trade agreements with every nation on earth that is normal. In fact we have more free trade agreements than just about any other country I believe. And even with the countries we DO have free trade agreements with, the agreements have specific and targeted exclusions on very specific products for very specific reasons. That is also normal.
