It’s blatant extortion now.

    And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?

    What I read in the article was this. There is going to be a war between the US and Canada. Trump didn’t say that, Trudeau said it.

    All I see Trump saying, is that the US does not need items from Canada, if the US is losing money in the process. He also said it would be great if Canada joined the US.

    I just don’t understand how he got caught on this thought? I’m no foreign policy wonk, but I just don’t get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It’s like a weird parody that I don’t know enough about to understand.

    Is he just Putining?

    If he invades Canada we’ll make Vietnam look like a cakewalk.

    We look like you. We speak your language. We consume your media. You’re going to fight an enemy who looks, acts, and is just as technologically advanced as you. Fighting insurgents who had nothing in common with you was already challenging enough, now imagine not knowing who is who

    Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it’d be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, “preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security”.

    How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like “yeah, makes sense”.

    Why does Trump want the US to be great again? 🤔 It seems like the US can’t be great and humble anymore under the Trump administration. 🤷‍♂️

    Trump needs to be removed for this and it’s not an exaggeration to say there are at least a dozen other unconstitutional things he’s done that he should be removed for as well. But the GOP-held congress doesn’t care about the constitution either so this is only going to continue to get worse.

    The US’ most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don’t need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.

    Lol. I actually support this.

    It’ll be worse for Canadians, but better for the US and therefore the world as a whole.

    I mean, imagine how all those Canadian voters can affect Congress.
