Donald Trump Continues to Lie About Fentanyl as he Envisions Himself as King of Israel Ruling from Gaza
President Donald Trump renewed his threats to impose a 25% tariff against imports from Canada and Mexico starting next week on March 4, while lying in public about what he is claiming is the reason for these tariffs, which he claims is that they are still allowing too much fentanyl to come across the border. As I have previously published, there were only 50 lbs. of fentanyl seized coming across the very long border from Canada for ALL of 2024. Have seizures of illegal fentanyl somehow increased here in 2025 coming into the U.S. from Canada to warrant these crippling tariffs? Here is what is being reported about fentanyl seizures from Canada here in 2025 according to the Canada Border Services Agency: "Ahead of the looming March 4 deadline, Canada announced it was launching an effort, dubbed 'Operation Blizzard.' The effort is 'aimed at intercepting illegal contraband arriving and leaving Canada, with a focus on fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics,' according to a statement published by the Canada Border Services Agency Thursday morning. CBSA also shared that it seized 56.1 grams of fentanyl this month, including 20 fentanyl pills and 23 grams 'of a substance suspected to be fentanyl from two US citizens crossing at the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel port of entry.'” For those Americans who are math-challenged to understand metric weights, 28 grams is equal to about 1 ounce. So two ounces of fentanyl and 20 fentanyl pills here in 2025 are behind the "fentanyl crisis" coming out of Canada. Fortunately, we can learn what Trump's true reasons are for threatening Canada with tariffs, directly from Trump himself, in what appeared to be unscripted remarks he made after his staff meeting yesterday.
