Former President Donald Trump on Saturday touted U.S. Sen. Katie Britt's (R-Montgomery) recent Republican response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address. The SOTU rebuttal was heavily panned and even parodied by "Saturday Night Live."

While at a Vandalia, Ohio, campaign rally, Trump, the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential race, first railed against Britt's 2022 senatorial opponent, former U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), for telling voters to move on from the 2020 election.

"[M]o Brooks gets up and he says, 'Let's forget about the election. The election was fine ... we have to get on to the future.' He got booed," Trump recalled on Saturday before noting Brooks' polling numbers plummeted after saying that.

"And we have a very wonderful senator. I endorsed her the following morning ... Katie Britt. She was doing a good job," he added.

Trump then said Britt "did a very nice job" in her SOTU response, adding that "liberals didn't like it very much."

"Who liked the job she did the other night? I thought she did a very nice job. Liberals didn't like it very much, I guess, but I thought she did a very nice job. We have another senator now because people don't want to hear bullshit. They don't want to hear it."

Following her SOTU speech, Trump posted on his Truth Social account, "Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, "President." She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women's Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!"

Liberal media outlets took Trumps words out of context to push their agenda again.

Former president Donald Trump speaking in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday during a rally in support of Senate candidate Bernie Moreno. During his speech, Trump spoke about Chinas involvement with the automotive industry.

Addressing Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump said, Those big monster car manufacturing plants that youre building in Mexico right now youre going to not hire Americans and youre going to sell the cars to us, no. Were going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and youre not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected.

Trump followed up by saying, Now if I dont get elected, its going to be a bloodbath for the whole thats gonna be the least of it. Its going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But theyre not going to sell those cars. Theyre building massive factories.

Outlets asked Trumps team to clarify his remarks, with campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stating, Bidens policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers.

Now it seems clear what Trump meant by these comments, but that doesnt stop the Liberal media from doing what they do best and misconstruing his words to fit their narrative.

Liberals were quick to attack Trump, claiming that the former president was implying he would start a revolution if he didnt get elected this time around.

This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence, Biden spokesperson James Singer said in a statement.

Nancy Pelosi also barked about Trump, claiming that his bloodbath quote was among a list of other shocking remarks the media has alleged Trump had made throughout his political career.

Hes even predicting a bloodbath. What does that mean? Hes going to exact a bloodbath? Theres something wrong here, Pelosi said. How respectful I am of the American people and their goodness. But how much more do they have to see from him to understand that this isnt what our country is about? Praising Hitler, praising the Russians. Honestly? Condemning our soldiers for losing or dying in war or being captured in war.

While Pelosi went all out with her crazy lies, Trumps former VP, Mike Pence, actually defended him.

I woke up this morning seeing online all of the discussion about bloodbath and as you just reflected, the president was clearly talking about the impact of imports devastating the American automotive industry.

First and foremost, you must convince people to set aside what they are being told by nefarious people who stand to lose status and power when Trump is reelected. Tell them to be dispassionate in looking at the factsand not their feelings. The key is How did Donald Trump build America up? and How is Joe Biden tearing America down?

Are you better off today then you were during 45?

In todays edition

One of the leaders of the liberals in the EU election campaign will be German defence expert Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, whose party in Germany has been obstructing significant legislative proposals related to business and the Green Deal in recent weeks.

The somewhat unusual choice puts into question the liberals overall strategy and future politics, at a time when polls project a weaker showing for the liberal centrists in Junes EU elections.

ALDE the largest political family in the liberal Renew Group in the European Parliament picked the German defence policy expert to represent them in the campaign, alongside two other liberal figures.

In recent weeks, Strack-Zimmermanns party in Berlin, the pro-business Free Democratic Party (FDP), has been at the forefront of obstructing legislative proposals related to business and the Green Deal, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (ECSDDD), the Platform Workers Directive, and the Nature Restoration law.

More concretely, the German media outlet Handelsblatt wrote last month that the FDP has the intention to block almost 14 legislative EU files before the end of the mandate.

Why does a party holding merely 3-5% of public support in Germany wield such considerable influence? The reason lies in its role as a minority party within the German government coalition, which operates under a rule that mandates unanimity for any kind of decision on EU policies.

German liberals behaviour appears to have been prized by the European family ALDE, in giving it an EU leading candidate, denying the familys more federalist and progressive nature (supporting files endorsed by the European Parliament majority, for instance) that is traditionally at the core of the liberals.

Perhaps it was due to major leadership problems that all parties are experiencing, or it was a way to give more space to more prominent political figures in the liberal group, such as the Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who had proposed herself as the lead candidate, before stepping back.

This issue opens a major question about what it means to be a pro-European leader: French and German governments have always been perceived as pro-European countries, in contrast to Eastern countries or the enemy of the enemies, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

But can leaders blocking EU legislation to defend national and electoral interests be defined as pro-European and progressive? And will it work to charm voters in June?

We have a leadership problem among EU parties. What is the difference between being supported and representing? This is what were seeing with Europes centre-right (European Peoples Party) and centre-left (the socialists and democrats).

Both leading candidates of these political families, Ursula von der Leyen and Nicolas Schmit, are supported by their party, but do not represent them. In practical terms, it means that neither of them run in the elections (for a seat in the European Parliament) and neither have been really involved in their party politics in the last five years.

The choice of supporting without representing probably creates confusion among the electorate, and, maybe, a lack of trust towards top-down approaches.

Wilders fate might anticipate post-EU election discussions. Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right leader and winner of the Dutch elections, announced on Wednesday (13 March) that he will not take the prime ministers post as he is unable to form a right-wing coalition.

His politicalconundrum previews one of the debates the European Parliament will face after the EU elections: which majority will take the lead in shaping EU policies?

Here are the two most likely scenarios: a right-wing coalition (i.e. what Wilders tried in the Netherlands), as Nicola Procaccini, the co-president of the nationalist ECR group told Euractiv, or the continuing domination of the two main centrist parties: the centre-right EPP and the socialists, supported by other minority parties.

Flash updates

Sliver of hope for unity in French left collapses over war in Ukraine. Whatever hope remained that a coalition of the French left parties may find common ground ahead of Junes EU elections has collapsed over the radically different approaches to handling and resolving the war in Ukraine.

Disinformation campaigns likely to undermine EU elections, experts say. Attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the upcoming June EU electionsand discourage the public from voting are expected to be very much prevalent, the European Parliament and experts have warned.

EU elections polls: French far-right exceeds 30%, widens gap with Macrons liberal Renaissance. Frances far-right Rassemblement National (RN) surpassed 30% in the latest polls for the European elections, moving further away from its main rival President Emmanuel Macrons fading Renaissance party while its far-right rival Reconqute! slipped and the Socialists clawed back some ground.

Are EU liberals still progressive and pro-European? - EURACTIV

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the federal Liberal government will be annihilated unless it pauses its carbon price increase in April. Thats not totally correct.

If the Trudeau Liberal government is annihilated in the next election, on an economic matter, it will be on carbon pricing but also broader, continuing inflation worries. And also concern about Canadas GDP slumping on a per capita basis. But mostly housing.

Premiers and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are seizing on the carbon price. But this is a much easier political feat because many Canadians are so angry about all the mounting costs of everything, particularly the money needed for four walls and a roof.

Yes, climate policies are incredibly important, as are the debates. Seven premiers are calling on the Prime Minister to abandon the April hike. When Justin Trudeau was in Calgary on Wednesday, he vigorously defended the carbon levy even after a private meeting where Albertas Danielle Smith hammered away on the topic.

The Prime Minister wouldnt be facing this ferocity from premiers if he hadnt done the heating oil carveout. It was a move that disproportionately benefited one electorally pertinent region, shattering a fragile cross-country acceptance of carbon pricing. His discussion Wednesday of his government being averse to using the heavy hand of government to regulate carbon emissions wasnt accurate. Besides the carbon tax, there are regulations, including those that would cap oil and gas emissions and set requirements for annual EV sales.

But all of this doesnt mean politicians should lose sight of the issue really shifting the vote: housing.

The Liberals arent responsible for all of this. But many arent likely to see that nuance when it comes to voting day, this year or next. Many predicted 2024 would be better on the housing front, but the early signs arent good.

Compared to two years ago in February, 2022, just before the start of interest rate hikes by the Bank of Canada, average asking rents in Canada have grown by 21 per cent, or $384 per month, said a report from Rentals.ca and Urbanation this week. The number of listings for shared accommodations, where tracked, surged 72 per cent in February, compared with a year earlier.

Outside of the rental market, many Canadians will also be renewing their mortgages at significantly higher rates than before, no matter the Bank of Canadas moves. Between 2024 and 2026, nearly 60 per cent of all outstanding mortgages are up for renewal. These numbers are a recipe for political upheaval in a country where theres always been a plot of space available, if you worked or went far enough afield.

Alberta is the prime example of the evolution. The provinces combination of ample work and housing affordability, a friend once quipped, allowed people to be grown-ups. Until recently, a person aged 25 to 34 in Ontario was more likely to be living at home with their parents in Barrie or Oshawa than in significantly larger Albertan cities such as Calgary and Edmonton.

That all could change. Rents are increasing because of a strong flow of newcomers. Alberta now has the fastest-rising prices, with the average cost for apartments up 20 per cent year-over-year. The housing crunch is playing out in other parts of the world, but is arguably more dramatic in Canada for a host of reasons, including that the Liberals have increased immigration levels to heights rarely seen.

Many Canadians believe the federal Liberals are failing on this file, and increasingly believe owning a home is the realm of the rich. While younger voters, as a rule, are less inclined to support conservative parties than their older counterparts, thats not necessarily true in Canada. Thats according to analysis from John Burn-Murdoch, chief data reporter at the Financial Times. He compared 10 advanced economies last month, and found a Canadian 40-year-old is just as likely to say they will vote conservative as a 70-year-old. That contrasts with Britain, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, where an older age is far more correlated with voting for parties on the right.

After prime minister Brian Mulroney decided to implement the GST in 1991, his party was clobbered in the election two years later. Still, Mr. Mulroney who died last month always reflected that it was important to do what was right for Canada instead of being well-liked. This week, there was a Mulroney-like tenor to Mr. Trudeaus remarks on his commitment to his carbon pricing system.

My job is not to be popular, Mr. Trudeau said. My job is to do the right things for Canada now and do the right things for Canadians a generation from now.

But at this moment, not having a home is the crucial issue. Expectations, even dreams, are being annihilated.
