Not sure I have the extent of it but it sounds a lot like Trump wanted Carney to ease Canadian French language rules (and enrage Quebec) so the Ellisons could save a buck on localization

obviously he's not going to go for that because he probably doesn't want his career to be over immediately. But I guess Deals Man didn't get to the part in Sun Tzu about understanding your opponent

It’s actually amazing that you can view Trump thru the lens of “what would the dumbest person you know do” in any given situation and he almost always does it

Either that or he did understand and knew the Canadians could not accept. If that's the game, Trump gets to make it look like the Canadians didn't play along so he can retaliate, rather than it being him not playing along. Does that make any sense? I don't know enough about what's going on.
