    When a political leader makes statements like these, they should be taken seriously. Even if they’re just kidding. Our sovereignty is no joke. Right now everyone is on edge with what he says he might do since it could jeopardize the peace and economic balance between allied countries. Things like tariffs could seriously impact the economy and throw everyone into a really deep depression.

      So seriously, he and his administration should be immediately, and in perpetuity, removed from any possibility of holding any office ever again.

        Yooooo. For real. I was devastated. I seriously do NOT understand Americans. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice… you know how it goes. They’re absolute fools.

          American here. Many of us also don’t understand. It’s baffling and absolutely depressing. Far too many voting Americans are the kind of people who would happily destroy their own property to avoid sharing it. These are also usually the same people who believe in American exceptionalism above all else, despite our country being measurably worse than several others in a number of categories. They’re insufferable.

          You are foolish too, my friend. If you can’t understand how it played out, maybe it’ll happen to you in the future… Power hungry assholes can be found all around the world.

            Yeah I know how that played out. Americans are still fools. Democrats had a choice between a younger intelligent candidate and a liar, fraud, rapist, child molester, sociopathic old man.

            I don’t care how it played out. The choice was fucking obvious. They still voted for the latter. Shame on them.

    I absolutely hate trump and his shitass remarks.

    I also hate all news organizations for being so hyper focused on money that they sold their souls for clicks. During the ramp up to the elections it was again all trump clickbait titles, trump trump trump. Trump idiot says something stupid as per usual, and all mass media organizations blow up with hundreds of articles about it

    To use a trump coloquialism: Noone ever got as much free press aas trump

    Now trump is juuuust kidding about invading Canada or just outright taking it over and the mass media is having orgasms trying to spew article after article suggesting suggesting suggesting wink winkie wink, keep reading our clickbait titles!

    News media is extremely complicit in all this shit and when trump eventually gets out in front of a will, the news media managers should be put right beside him.
