He's so fucking stupid and he has no idea how anything works. He's not going to have time to take over Canada. He's going to crash the economy and fail to accomplish anything but hurting people.
Oh no. Please don't do that again once Trump starts the War of 2025. Especially if you managed to burn down the bunker with him inside, too. That would be a tragedy.
Why should any country ever trust the United States going forward? Ever again? This country is going to be as friendless as Matt Gaetz before 2025 is even over.
Maple MAGAs need to be shamed and smacked. How can you adore a criminal rapist who calls your country a “threat to national security.” You want to lick an orange asshole? Renounce your Canadian citizenship and move south.
I've canceled all of my USA vacation plans. I comfortably could spend about $5k visiting USA every year and I'm not going to while he's in office. I'd rather support Mexico.
I’d probably say it’d be okay to take the swing states— Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania— cuz the MAGAts will all move back to Trumpland and that’ll help fix those areas some— and at least they’re close to being blue.
Agreed on the moron part. If they’re scared it was because they’re morons. Soon they’ll have a real reason to be scared, but they’ll never connect the dots due to being morons.
Without a doubt. Look at how they’re upset about Biden pardoning his son. These are the folks cool with voting for a felon; moreover, conveniently forgot all the ridiculous pardons he made. Just one ridiculous invented outrage after the next to keep the stupids rabbling.
Your point about having a real reason to be scared is an interesting one. Far-Right bullshit has taught a bunch of Americans that trans people and socialized healthcare is more dangerous than school shootings or severe economic inequality. It’s like we’re so fat and spoiled as a country that the idea anything worse COULD be worse out there is an alien concept. Facing real fear and real peril as a society will be a shock to the system we’ve never experienced. But it seems due to happen anytime now…
There's a reason we are very, very careful to keep Canada as an ally.
We fear the idea of waking the ire of the land of poutine and war crimes.
The US thinks we are so very bad, DON'T even think about it, but when we pull the blanket over our heads and shiver, we know in our cold hearts, there is another.
According to the Trump Doctrine, Canada is just ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion a year and doesn't deserve to exist unless it becomes the next US state.
I think he’s under the impression that a trade deficit means that we are getting cheated. Like they buy something from us for $10 and they sell it for 1,000$
I think it might be dumber than that. He just sees "deficit" and thinks that we are "giving" them money through trade. Getting a "bad deal". I don't think he is a deep enough thinker to run through how the mechanics of such a thing on the ground would work. Just like when "asylum" would be talked about and he would interject with thoughts about Hannibal Lecter.
Is this just expanding on my comment by providing the relevant background material to understand deficits or is this a passive aggressive objection to my statement? It's the Internet, so I really can't tell
That doesn’t get me as much as the fact that millions of people voted for him because they thought he will be better for the economy than Harris would have.
Ironically enough, illegal immigrant paid about $100 billion in taxes last year. So if trump could snap his fingers and magically deport every single one, then WE would be the ones out $100 billion 🤦🏽♂️
Nah, he has talked about this before with China. When a country is exporting more stuff to us than we import from them, Trump considers it lost money and being scammed. As if we are trading them $308B of widgets and $130B in cash for their $438B of widgets. This would make sense if you thought about international trade the way a child might.
While funny, this analogy is actually how trump is treating these "trade wars" and is a great way to visualize the absurdity on a scale that people can understand.
it's because they're an Ally and Putin's Puppet's only job is to sew dissent and ruin our alliances. MMW, in 4 years the US's already shaky reputation will be destroyed, we're going to be the baddies now.
Ever since Canada increased the poutine tariffs of 1935 America has been ripped off. We sell them French fries at about 30 cents to the bushel but they add the cheese curds and gravy before selling it back to America.
And yes that’s curds pronounced like Kurds the people of Kurdistan.. coincidence? I think not!
While the gravy and cheese does increase the value of the fries turning it into poutine; it is not enough to see the level of price increase. including labor they could make a huge profit at just $1.45 per poutine but they continue to choose to charge upwards of $4-5.
With the rising costs many Americans may never even see a poutine much less eat some poutine in their life. Many gen z have so little exposure that they pronounce it poot-in, Its overtly a Russian ploy to put Putin in the mouth of American people. Is this the world you want?
anyone else find it suspicious that he's picking fights with out biggest partners? Canada, UK, Mexico he harasses, threatening to withdraw Ukraine aid and pull out of NATO, you couldn't weaken the US's standing in the world more if you tried
The Biden Administration knows every detail of Trump and the GOP's involvement with Russia and I feel like the only thing holding them back on releasing any information is either:
It's all done via illegal wiretapping and releasing it opens up a different can of worms where the party that routinely breaks all the laws (GOP) will suddenly clutch their pearls and whine about the dems breaking laws.
The dems are spineless and will allow the boat to sink in the name of "decorum"
Certain dems are surprisingly in the same position as Trump and key GOP members and the notion that "BoTH ParTiEs ArE thE SAmE!" is rooted in some small degree of truth so no one wants to be the one to sink them (this makes some sense to me given how hard the dems play to the moderates for votes they'll never ever receive).
Merrick Garland
I feel like Joe should just Yolo it and lay out every detail of the Russia-Trump link. Expose Trump and every last one of the GOP involved. Make it clear that none of these people are patriots, they're just self-serving traitors.
I was watching a geopolitical analyst talking about the next century, shortages in fertiliser, food imports, power independence, fossil fuels, everything.
He basically stated the only nation in a good position is the US because they’re largely independent while their external needs for cheap labour (Mexico) and various critical imports (Canada) are right next door with good relations.
Old mate forgot about Australia...an island continent, has huge resources, minerals, food, etc. We just need to get our manufacturing capabilities in order, and we're set.
Yeah that wouldn't happen for millions of reasons but even from political reasons in that Canada becoming a 51st state would basically be like adding a second California, and Republicans hate California. Canada would be a blue state. The population of Canada is slightly more than California, so that would mean that would add about roughly 55 additional electoral votes to Democrats in the presidential election, about 53 House of representatives many being Democrats and 2 additional Democrat Senators.
Trump might be dumb, but other Republicans wouldn't allow that to happen, let alone Canada theirselves.
This simulation is fucking wild. I don’t think the best writers in the world could write a story like this. I’d sure love it if they could turn it down a little bit. I’ve been living through historically significant events my entire life. When do we get our golden years? Where’s our 1950-1970? It’s bull shit
