The only thing that needs to be terminated is your presidency

The mayor of the Canadian city of Hamilton has rushed to the defense of his country after President Donald Trump took a shot at Canada’s trade relations with the U.S.

Trump threatened to terminate the NAFTA deal with Canada and Mexico—the renegotiation of which is causing Mexico and Canada to be “very difficult,” according to the U.S. president.

“The only thing that needs to be terminated is your presidency,” Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger tweeted Sunday, in response to Trump’s own post. “Save yourself and your country. Resign and you will be popular everywhere.”

All help appreciated.

I just had a thought...

Could Trump be sniping at all these other countries as a way of trying to increase his popular support?

He snipes at them, they snipe back. The people then "rally behind the President", so to speak.

I wouldn't put it passed him.

I commend them for tolerating him as well as they do.
