    All talk. During the meeting this fucker wimped out and only stared at the floor while Carney spoke. Trump didn’t even pick up that he got insulted and told off.

    You could see he wanted to say something, but could barely squeak the words out. Fucking coward.

    Then SHUT IT OFF

    • oil
    • power
    • peat
    • wood
    • Maple syrup
    • apologies

    Check the free trade agreement – it covers WHEN things are sold, not whether they’re sold at all. I think we can just shut it off without breaking the agreement.

    We don’t need their Cars, we don’t need their Energy, we don’t need their Lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain," Trump wrote.

    Hey, Canada, seriously, you should just halt all exports to the US at the border if that’s his position. Call our bluff. Help our imbecilic government and my deeply idiotic countrymen Find Out. I am being extremely serious.

    Edit: jesus fucking christ. From the NYT briefing on their meeting, as it is happening right fucking now:

    President Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada praised each other in the Oval Office during the first meeting between the two leaders since Mr. Carney won a stunning election on an anti-Trump platform. Mr. Trump struck a conciliatory tone, saying he had “a lot of respect” for Mr. Carney, who praised the president for his “relentless focus on the American worker.” But after Mr. Trump talked about his calls for Canada to be the 51st state, Mr. Carney said “some places are not for sale.” Mr. Trump did not concede: “Never say never.”

    Fuck my entire life, I hate this timeline so much

      As disgusting as it is, he’s a lot more likely to make progress with some narrowly constructed flattery than with overt criticism no matter how well deserved.

      Trump is a narcissistic manbaby who would do damn near anything just to satisfy his own ego. It makes him particularly vulnerable to manipulation, and at the same time it makes it virtually impossible for him to take criticism without throwing a tantrum and doubling down on whatever shitty thing he’s doing.

        I mean he called Trump transformational which I think anyone with a brain will understand but his supporters will see as a compliment.

        There was some very carefully constructed language being used here which I think is a good first step.

        It should also be noted that Carney said ‘Never’ five times when Trump said Never say Never but I don’t think Carney was visible on the American broadcast.

      We also need our healthcare to be a little better. It was really battered after all the ignorant anti-vax hillbillies made up the bulk of the people deathly sick from covid AND bullying the doctors trying to to save them. Doctors realized life is too short for dickwads and retired en masse.

      Right now our scumbag cons are trying to make it more and more mercenary as they go, and that’s tougher to prevent with so many roles going unfilled.

      So we really need that built back up and then we’d be proud to show it off.

        Good news! The US is currently exporting a bunch of our skilled people so you guys will definitely get some doctors from that. The brain drain is going to hurt for generations.

    Dont need their cars

    • Ontario makes the high precision parts of Ford and GM vehicles that literally can’t be made in the US or Mexico because workers there dont have the skill.

    Dont need their lumber

    • The US lumber lobby has spent 20 years trying to break the lumber industry here, for the express purpose pf getting unfettered access to Canadian logs.

    Don’t need their water

    • Little Bitch is more than old enough to remember that access to Canadian water was one of the sticking points that very nearly derailed the original NAFTA, to the point that several of the provisions are designed such that if they could get any access to our water, they would immediately get access to all of our water

    I watched the whole interview and holy shit the amount of mindless babbling coming out of Trumps mouth about the basically nothing was ridiculous. This man spent a good 5 - 10 minutes complaining about Obama, Biden, and Newsom and barely even let Carney speak. I’m glad he at least got to mention that “51st state” thing at least and shut that down immediately.

      Anyone who wants to slave people and their children and their grandchildren to factory work, but doesn’t volunteer himself or his children or his grandchildren, can shut the biggest fuck it’s possible to up.

    Diahrreal verbal slop. He’s (Trump) a clearly disconnected from reality crushed brain. He’s disgusting as a living ad for dementia disabling capabilities. He believes his own lies.

      And yet he’ll say the opposite in a few days and act like he believes that too.
