It’s blatant extortion now.

    I have no idea what the fuck he’s talking about in terms of “subsidizing” Canada. Either he has absolutely no idea how trade defects work or he’s purposefully playing dumb since apparently Canada needs the US less than the US needs Canada

      He’s weaponizing his very armed sycophants against Canada. And is warming the rest of the world up to annexing us. Dementia Don said it AGAIN tripling down on the obscenity today while sitting next to the chair of NATO Mark Rutte, and Rutte the COWARD and CRAVEN piece of shit, said nothing while Shittler shat out of his mouth 51st state nonsense and arbitrary border horseshit.

      Carney should not meet with Frump. Fuck it. It’s appeasement. There’s no going back on this, no apology could suffice from the US. This is fucking DONE.

      Assuming he believes his words (as opposed to using rhetoric to get what he or someone around him wants, in either case unfortunately, I think he’s serious). I think he sees anything purchased from another country as “subsidizing” that country. To him, its money the US had that Canada now has. I sometimes think he somehow thinks the US should be given things, because…??? Every transaction has to have a “winner” and a “looser” and whoever has a + on the balance sheet is the winner, it doesn’t matter what that + really means. (I can only bend my logic so far to try to figure these things out)

        Yeah orange shitgibbon should STOP buying from Canada. No one is forcing the US to buy anything from us. Don’t need it - fine! Now fuck right off! Don’t buy something from Canada and then scream that you have a deficit with Canada!! Fucking moron.

        I think thats pretty much it. For trump there are no relationships or compromises. Every single thing is about winning or losing. Eating is him winning against the food.
