59. Swede, you don't

get it on the give & take between Trump and Carney. On the call today the public posturing was put aside for a true negotiation, not confrontation. When the gloves were off during the call that you and I were not privy to, both leaders were busy making a mutually- acceptable arrangement that would be detailed on and after April 2.
Neither country wants a big tiff over trade and a “deal” whatever it looks like will turn out better than the pessimists and ratings-hungry pundits are crying about.
When the cameras are off Trump’s not the senile dotard he likes to play, and Carney is no rabid all-or-nothing gambler with his country’s fate in the balance. He’s smooth and has more cards to play at this stage than Trumpy.
I think, Swede, you should watch what they do not what they spew.
