Writing difficultly

Trump throwing his toys out of the crib again.

President Donald Trump says he will not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor to open unless Canada makes significant concessions to the U.S.

Trump said in a Feb. 9 post on Truth Social that the U.S. will open negotiations with Canada, which has footed the entire bill for the $5.7-billion bridge construction project, but believes the U.S. should probably take ownership of at least half of it.

In fact, the bridge is jointly owned by Canada and the U.S., with Canada intending to recoup its upfront construction costs over time, through bridge tolls.

While the US enjoys a free ride, but Trump is pissed off anyway.

“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the U.S. with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump wrote.

“With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset.”

We should learn, perhaps, how to use commas like a literate grownup.

Anyway, Canada paid for the construction and Trump still thinks it owes us? How does that work?

“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the U.S. with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump wrote.

That’s an F for the semester. “importantly” is not a synonym for “what’s important is”. In fact “importantly” is not anything; it’s not an idiomatic way of saying anything.
