    “Canada has taken advantage of us for so many years. The worst of any country,” Trump said.

    Someone should tell this moron that repeating something excessively does not make it true.

      I saw a meme on facebook of Trump giving an anti-trans speech, and I knew it was bullshit. Not because Trump isn’t anti-trans (he is, don’t know happened to him to make him that way, he was one of the people against bathroom bans initially… Oh right mental decline and his base loving it when he shit talks transpeople happened.), but because it was coherent and well-written… for bigotry.

      Guy has been doing it publically since the 80s, and probably all 8 decades of his life and it got him nothing but power and wealth.

      Its the morons who listen to him that need to be straightened out.

    “I love the Canadian people, but the leaders have taken advantage of our stupid leadership for many, many years. They felt emboldened. … They act like they’re totally innocent. They’re not. They were very bad. But now they’re being taught a little lesson.”

    That’s rich coming from a frequent visitor of Epstein Island (though I suppose no lessons have been learned in his case).

      Every accusation is an admission.

      He’s saying they aren’t smart enough to sit at our table.

      He’s right.

    Boy, if Prime Minister Carney had stolen between 400 million to 1 billion dollars from the US Defense Budget to refurbish a jet meant to be his private plane after he left office - I would be outraged as an American. However, that is what Mr. Trump has done with a 747 jet he solicited or extorted from Qatar. PM Carney is right not to let a mobster shake Canada down. Keep giving the orange rapist squatting in our Whitehouse the elbow!

    The only “lesson” we are taught so far is to actively boycott anything US-made or US-adjacent. Hopefully we will never again sign up for any sort of “trade deal” of the size of NAFTA/CUSMA either, choosing to partner with friendlier and more trustworthy nations. So - thanks, Donald - you strengthened our national unity and helped us become even more resilient and independent than we’ve ever been.

    Dear Canada,

    Please consider invading California. Think of the win-win. You get San Diego, the movie industry, and better wine. We get health care, and safety for people who are different.

    So come on down. We’ll probably surrender. My wife and I are so polite, we’re often mistaken for Canadians. We’ll even learn to say “aboot.”

    Think aboot it, eh?

    Sincerely,

    Me

    The next president is going to need a decade to repair foreign relations. When they can’t do it in four years, voters are going swing against them.

      A decade is a highly optimistic projection. I would say at least twice that long.

    It’s funny how, as the circle of those who hold power in the US gets smaller, it is able to exert more of it in a new and horrible way. The narcissists in the white house being backed up by leading technological industries because that allows them to hold their oligopolies unchecked, it’s never been this bad nor this short sighted.

      Based on everything that’s happened in the last 10 years, and how his camp has been preparing, I expect to see the Dem’s lose even more.

      They’re not even putting up a fight though, they absolutely know how to get votes and what kinds of things the citizenry want, but those things go against their “donators” so they’re never going to move to the left and actually get things fixed.

      We’re absolutely 100% going to watch America fall into civil war again in the best case scenario. Worst case is we get Fascist America until someone stronger destroys them and 75-100% of the planet with them.

    trump went on to say, “…and I don’t care how many american people or american businesses have to suffer while I teach those nasty Canadians to kneel.”.
