Trump/aides insult U.S.good friend Canada

Trudeau/Trump G-7-The man never smiles 
Following the G-7 Conference in Quebec, Donald Trump lambasted Canada's Justin Trudeau with the comment that he was "very dishonest and weak." This was in response to Trudeau's announcement of Canada's retaliatory measures it would take next month in response to the US tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. But that wasn't enough when White House Director of Trade Policy Peter Navarro said...
"There is a "special place in hell" for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because of his decision to slam the U.S. in a post-G7 press conference."
And then it was top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow's turn who said, Trudeau "stabbed us in the back" with a "double cross." This was all followed by Canadian foreign affairs minister Chrystia Freeland's comment, "Canada does not believe that ad hominem attacks are a particularly appropriate or useful way to conduct our relations with other countries." A monumental put-down of Donald Trump, his administration and the United States. Trudeau added after the conference, “Canadians, we’re polite, we’re reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around.”

I feel sure the U.S. has been taken advantage of over the years due to its wealth and generosity, but to constantly alienate allies like Canada, France and Germany, and with non-stop insults from the U.S. president himself, is sheer stupidity for a nation that has always prided itself in being a world-class peacemaker. Here's another post-conference tweet by Trump...
"Based on Justin's false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!"
Perhaps this the reason for Donald Trump's latest bullying tactics...
"Kim must not see American weakness," Kudlow said. "[Trudeau] can't put Trump in a position of being weak going into the North Korean talks with Kim. He can't do that."
There is no doubt the world sees our weakness. The U.S. President is operating without a brain.
