  2. Dougie also capitulated. He’s pulling the ad Monday.

  4. Did… Did Canada just back out?

    Not blaming them. But we need this outside pressure because the inside pressure just isn’t enough. The doofus running our government needs to be in prison. 

  6. The World Series is on Fox. TBD if FOX airs the ad or caves to pressure.

  7. >*“When someone says ‘let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs,” Reagan says in the ad’s opening lines. “And sometimes for a short while it works — but only for a short time. That over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.”*

    Wise words.

  8. He could just order the Dodgers to not go to Canada and forfeit the World Series. That will teach them. Or better yet if the Blue Jays win, force MLB to declare the games fake, stolen, and he Dodgers the winners. Wait, the Dodgers are a California team, we can’t have that. Make the Dodgers move back to Brooklyn, then declare them winners. Wait, Brooklyn is a Democratic city in a Democratic state, can’t have that. I got it now, move them to Argentina that will work, then declare them World Series Champions by Presidential Decree. Oh, hell just declare yourself, Mister President, the World Series Champion and be done with it.

  10. Aw crap, Trump is gonna nuke Canada, isn’t he? Well Canada, we loved you…

  11. Can we start a gofundme and get it ad space for the Super Bowl?

  12. I wish I was a billionaire , I would run it continuously on FOX and newsmax

  14. Personally, this is a tough situation. Who do I support? LA or Toronto? Which says, “Fuck you, Trump” more?

  16. Can we play it on the big screen when the orange man ego visits the stadium and ruins the vibe?

  17. The ad already did its job. Everyone is talking about it and Trump is crying, so I’m ok if they pull it.

  19. There have been plenty of infuriating ICE ads running over the past 7 months as well

  20. I thought it was a waste of time and money for Doug Ford to do this ad. But god do I love that the Toddler in Chief got his little feelings hurt, threw a tantrum and called off the “talks” 🙄. Newsflash. We don’t care. We don’t want talks. Were sick of this shit. There is no deal. Never was going to be a deal. Never is going to be a deal. Bye Felicia lol. Some of our industries are hurting and we’re going hurt for a while … but will be for the best. Thank heavens. Oh and now, instead of just the states bordering Ontario seeing the ad, the whole universe is seeing it. Love it.

  26. Can’t believe Trump is making me side with Reagan here.

  27. Reagan was a turning point for much of the world. 
    Trickle down economics spread like wildfile, however people are still waiting for the wealth to be shared around. 

  28. As a fourth generation Seattleite and lifelong Mariners fan, if the M’s missing yet another World Series is what it took for these ads to continue to air — hells if they have to miss every World Series from now until the heat death of the universe — then it will be entirely worth it. That ad is fire.

    Just, can we just get another Superb Owl?

  29. Holy crap, I never thought I’d agree with Ronald Regan.

  33. It’s a good thing MLB isn’t tax exempt anymore cause I guarantee he’d be threatening its status if the didn’t pull it from rotation. I wonder how much pull he has over them and what other option he’s going to try to bully them

  34. Can we start a go fund me to play this commercial at every event he attends?

  35. I know this whole thing is supposed to be a gotcha on Trump’s foreign policy plan, but isn’t Reagan the guy who imposed tariffs on Japanese motorcycles because Harley Davidson couldn’t compete and refused to innovate and adapt?

  38. This simpleton amped up the Ad’s effectiveness by 100x but whinging about it.

  39. Free speech is about to be optional in some cases… like foreigners should have it (or something like that).

  44. Reagan’s tariff slap stings Trump’s ego—World Series ad’s a GOP ghost haunting. He’ll probably Sharpie “fake” on the broadcast. Anyone betting on a Twitter tantrum?

  45. Just aired. It’s a very serious well put together message
