It’s Tuesday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

Signing time and policy talks locked down, press kept outside while Propaganda Barbie handles the narrative. If a rule gets inked, they might wheel reporters in at the last minute and call it transparency.
Tuesday News Mess
Yesterday into today, the Puddle returned to social media with another bout of emotional word vomit. We’ll spare you the full flood and stick to a post or two.
Oh, Canada.

The text:
As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST!
But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel.
Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING!
Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.
The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.
The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk.
I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY.
With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
He’s so fucking stupid. 02/09/2026.
Before we talk about the bridge, let’s unpack the industrial-sized load of bullshit he squeezed into that post.
Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.
U.S. spirits aren’t allowed on Ontario shelves because of Trump’s Tariffs.
From there, the rant swerves into China and hockey, because apparently geopolitics now runs through the NHL.
This isn’t the first time he’s mashed together Canada’s EV deal with China and the “death” of hockey like those things belong in the same universe.
Reporter: What do you think about the UK getting into business with China?

Trump: Very dangerous and it’s more dangerous for Canada to do that. Canada is doing very poorly. The first thing they're going to do is say you are not allowed to play ice hockey anymore. That's not… pic.twitter.com/Apm4JApTr2
Reporter:
Mr. President, what do you think about the UK getting into business with China? Keir Starmer was in Beijing.Puddle:
Well, it’s very dangerous for them to do that, and it’s even more dangerous, I think, for Canada to get into business with China. Canada’s not doing well. Uh, they’re doing very poorly. And then you can’t look at China as the answer. That’s, I know China very well. I know President Xi is a friend of mine.I know him very well, but that’s a, that’s a big hurdle to go over when you get Canada. The first thing they’re gonna do is say, “You’re not allowed to play ice hockey anymore.” That’s not good. Canada’s not gonna like.

Trump: We don't want China to take over Canada and if they make the deal that he's looking to make, China will take over Canada. And the first thing they're going to do, end ice hockey. pic.twitter.com/qm849JwVNc

Reporter:
And the Canada tariffs, sir, that you talked about, are those coming?Puddle:
Well, that was on the airplanes. Are you talking about (inaudible)?Reporter:
No, about the, the China deal that they, they did.Puddle:
YouTube shitty transcript. Formatted using ChatGPT. The post is from 02/01/2026. Remarks said on 01/31/2026.
Oh, well, if, if they do a deal with China, yeah, we’ll do something very substantial, because we can’t, look, I have a great relationship with China presidency, but we don’t want China to take over Canada. And if they make the deal that he’s looking to make, China will take over Canada. And the first thing they’re going to do, end ice hockey.
Before he explained that China would end Ice Hockey he truthed out he hoped China would “leave Ice Hockey alone”.

The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk.
Canada’s dairy tariffs are quota-based, so the scary “high tariff” numbers only apply after imports cross a set limit.
Anyway, back to the bridge.
President Trump has threatened to block the opening of a bridge between Michigan and Ontario.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge has been under construction since 2018 and is due to open early this year, according to the organization behind it. https://t.co/DaIWMsrtgM
Here’s a gift link, in case anyone wants to read it.
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens (found via the WaPo article above) posted on Twitter yesterday following the unhinged post from Puddle.
Thankfully the bridge was named after Gordie Howe before China terminates hockey and eliminates the Stanley Cup! @usconstoronto @usembassyottawa @USAmbCanada pic.twitter.com/meK17NAWzr

This morning Mayor Dilkens expanded his thoughts on Twitter.
Canada funded the $6.4B project because we knew it was important to help facilitate international trade. Thousands of U.S. workers helped construct the bridge, port of entry and Michigan connections on the U.S. side, where lots of U.S. steel was used. (2/6)

The bridge is not a one-way street; it is also a vital connection for the American economy. Under normal times, building a span that links two nations like the U.S. and Canada would be a monumental moment where the Canadian Prime Minister would meet the U.S. President (4/6)

We’ll get over this latest speed hump from the U.S. President, but this shows the complexity that Prime Minister Carney and the team will be dealing with when they get into USMCA negotiations this year, trying to put together a wholesale deal that’s good for both countries. (6/6)

Commerce Secretary Howard “nutlick” Lutnick testified before a Senate hearing. With the White House site a mess and basic scheduling info harder to find than it should be, I had no idea this was even happening. He was, of course, asked about his claim that he cut ties with Epstein before it was revealed Epstein was a child predator and sex trafficker.
Barely knew him, okay?
VAN HOLLEN: Why do the Epstein files show you coordinating a meeting and planning a visit with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island in December 2012?
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 10, 2026
LUTNICK: I barely had anything to do with that person, okay? pic.twitter.com/NVycM8hnVZ
*Flashback*
Howard Lutnick sat down with the New York Post last year and claimed that Jeffrey Epstein showed him a massage table in 2005 making Lutnick so disgusted he never stepped foot in the same room as Epstein again.

Today, Lutnick admitted to having lunch with Epstein on his island… pic.twitter.com/DFcKFM9oE4
*End Flashback*
Today, he admits he had lunch on his private island with his kids, wife, and their nannies.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 10, 2026
LUTNICK: I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. I had another couple with their children. And we had lunch on… pic.twitter.com/o6GGyNsr5M
Show more =’s And we had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour. And we left with all of my children.
Maybe he doesn’t count an island as a room.
Acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Todd Lyons was also on the Hill today, we will cover that nightmare tomorrow.
The FBI has released new images from the home of Nancy Guthrie taken the night of her disappearance.
New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie:

Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost,… pic.twitter.com/z5WLgPtZpT
Show more =’s that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems. Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.
