The President posted 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' in bold letters on Twitter today.

President Trump is talking tough about trade with Canada.   "There is no political necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal.   If we don't make a fair deal for the US after decades of abuse.  Canada will be out" the President tweeted today.
