She will be invaluable to the country going forward.

She negotiated the USMCA with Trump in his 1st term.

I expect (if she runs again) she’ll be a minister.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

She will be in cabinet for sure.

The only thing is, she showed how she supported JT for years then stabbed him in the back and wrote a treacherous letter ultimately taking JT down. If I was considering her as a minister I’d have to those actions into account. She’d be useful in some role against trump 2.0 but not so sure she wouldn’t try something similar again like what she did to JT.

I’m sure it was all planned between JT and Freeland. JT had decided to step down weeks before that. She did the letter to separate her from JT and be able to run for the leadership. It wasn’t enough for her to break the stigma though.

I am not that cynical. JT did not want to step down IMO. He’s young, essentially retiring at 53, and would have lead the liberals into the next election - which he may very well have lost. But with the Trunp stuff towards the end of his term, there’s a small chance he also could have eeked out a win. We’ll never know.
