From Mediate:
"Fox News host Laura Ingraham pressed President Donald Trump over his treatment of Canada relative to the way he treats U.S. adversaries in an interview that aired on the network Tuesday evening.
Ingraham’s interview with the president premiered on Tuesday evening’s episode of The Ingraham Angle. When they got to the topic of Canada, Trump reaffirmed his stance that Canada was “meant to be” the 51st state and claimed the U.S. didn’t need Canada’s lumber or automotive manufacturing exports. That prompted Ingraham to ask another question:
INGRAHAM: But you’re tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries. Why?
TRUMP: Only because it’s meant to be our 51st state, and I mean that.
INGRAHAM: OK, but we need their territory. They have territorial advantage. We’re not gonna let them get close to China, right?
TRUMP: Look, I deal with every country — indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. The people that now — this was [former Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau — the people that good old Justin — I call him “Governor Trudeau” — his people were nasty, and they weren’t telling the truth. They never told the truth. You know that, you know, they’d say, “Well, we don’t charge.” Well, they do. They charge tremendous, they charge tremendous; and, if you look at dairy products, what they’ve done to our farmers — I’d go up to Iowa, I’d go up to different places, Nebraska — and they would always complain about Canada, how they get ripped off. Do you know that Canada has a 250% tariff? Two-hundred and fifty. Nobody knows that. They charge us numbers that are crazy. We have a very big deficit with Canada–
INGRAHAM: $60 billion.
TRUMP: Much more. We have much more–
INGRAHAM: I don’t think so.
TRUMP: –just so you understand. We subsidize Canada, and I like Canada. I love Canada."

Just a little background of what I think of Laura Ingraham first and then the interview:
I think she's a right-wing, hyper-partisan demagogue, who a best is very loose with the truth. But she's not stupid or crazy. You see that just in the opening of this interview with President Trump where she said that The White House readout of the conversation between the President and President Vladimir Putin: "As a positive reading of the conversation"
And then Laura Ingraham literally asking the President when talking about Chief Justice John Roberts statement on the President attacking Federal judges because they ruled against him: "Are there any court orders that you wouldn't defy?"
Think about that: a Fox News anchor... I mean there's no one more MAGA than Laura Ingraham. Her right-wing populist record, goes back to the 1990s, if not father. She's a saner, more intelligent version of Ann Coulter. And she's asking the Dear Leader of the MAGA movement (who also just happens to also be President of the United States) "Are there any court orders that you would defy?"
And the thing about Canada... no one, even in the U.S. Department of Defense, actually expects us to invade Canada. I'm also willing to bet that there's no one in the U.S. Department of State, who actually believes that Canada would just agree to become part of America. But Donald Trump throws this out there, because he sees Canada as weak and that he can push them around.
And the rest of this interview is Donald Trump just being the Donald J. Trump: the king of political reality TV in America: meaning everything he actually says, isn't actually happening. Just a bunch of political garbage:
And the President trying to blame everyone else in the world for problems he caused.
And the President trying to spend 10 minutes talking about everything in the world, except of for what Laura Ingraham asked him, before Ingraham cuts him off and tries to get an answer to her actual question.
