The less discerning of you might consider this post rather silly ; however, it must be noted that the tale it recounts was a harbinger of The Donald’s infatuation with tariffs related to the Great Dominion !
A Tariff Tale of the Smuggler & The Snitch
“There was a story two days ago in a major newspaper talking about people living in Canada coming into the United States and smuggling things back into Canada because the tariffs are so massive. The tariffs to get common items back into Canada are so high that they have to smuggle ’em in. They buy shoes and they wear them,” he said. They scuff ’em up, they make ’em sound old or look old. No, we’re treated horribly.”
From DJT remarks of June 19.2018:
Donald the Snitch, just blew the whistle on Court Painter’s secret side hustle—smuggling freshly purchased varieties of brand spanking new shoes of all kinds in Sweetgrass Montana,which before loading in his conveyances he “pre scuffed’ real good to assure an undetected smooth passage through the Coutts Alberta customs .
Thanks to Donald the Snitch, Court Painter the Smuggler is now out of the shoe business,shoeless and barefoot back in the studio!
