He is factually not the dumbest man on earth. We can criticize without discrediting ourselves with unnecessary hyperbole
Governor? It’s he really referring to the Canadian prime Minister as though he is the governor of a state? And they said Biden was losing his grasp on reality.
It’s deliberately disrespectful. He has said that Canada should become a US state. This is convicted felon Trumps way to belittle both PM Trudeau and the sovereign nation of Canada
Biden was
This isn’t trump not understanding the concept of a governor. This is him stating multiple times over and over that he wants to take over Canada.
The same way Putin knew it wasn’t a special military operation but an invasion. The language matters
Fucked up Beyond All Repair.
God I’m exhausted.
At this point, we just need to cut it all off completely. Oil shipments, electricity, lumber, aluminum. All of it.
I know that that’s a hard ask for those industries that are affected, and if it means the federal goverment has to temporarily raise the deficit in order to subsidize those industries it’ll be crazy expensive and inflation will shoot up. But I’m convinced that that would be only a short amount of time that that would actually be needed.
Let the United States go one week without our stuff. 100%…fuck 'em. They’ll last one week. Maybe two. And when they quit their bullshit, make it clear that we are diversifying our business partners making it easier to pull it from them again anytime they let Trump open is fucking mouth.
Hold our resources hostage against them.
I mean, if we play all our cards at once, we have no cards left for the next thing, and they also might raise enough political will in the process to invade for real.
It should be and I think is all on the table, though, and I have no problem with it if they want to escalate, because we also need to raise political will to sever our ties for good.
Economical MAD is not the answer here. It’s a very complex subject that is difficult to solve.
It’s a very complex subject that is difficult to solve
In a sane world, I agree with you. But we’re dealing with a man who himself doesn’t realise its complexity and only understands strategies that are “blunt and absurd”.
We can use as nuanced and soft-toed strategies all we want and he’ll never get it through his orange head.
Yes, we’re dealing with a madman. You’re suggesting we act just like him. No, harming more people voluntarily is not the answer.
(bot canadian, or american; take that as you will)
not acting like him: acting in retaliation with measures that hurt the US more than canada… things like IP and copyright protections, digital services, etc
his blanket measures don’t take into account trade that’s largely beneficial to US companies - they’re stupid blunt instrument crap because thought is too hard… trump hurt himself in his confusion
retaliating in precise ways can extract value from the US without harming the canadian economy nearly as much
The destruction is mutual, but not assured and total (total just didn’t make it into the acronym). Nuclear war isn’t a good analogy.
Basically, do we want to continue relying on the US, or not? Not doing so has a cost, but we might not have a choice. Canada can survive without the US, if in a slightly poorer form.
Canada still has decent friends to trade and work with. Can’t say the same for the Fascist States.
Looks like the Governor of the 47th Oblast is throwing another hissy fit.
It’s all going to be used as an excuse to invade us. Oh look at Canada they made your lives more expensive. It’s Canada’s fault and once the people believe it, they’ll have their support and invade us.
The US military would never be able to recruit another volunteer again. Nobody hates Canada.
they’ll have hell on their hands after an invasion, good luck defending that border or stopping the insurgency with so much wilderness.
it would be Vietnam and Afghanistan rolled into one, but with easy strikes into their homeland.
Let them try it, we will spur the collapse of their fascist empire
It would be an uphill battle. Yes Americans are overall less educated because they don’t invest in education and let their media spread lies unchecked but invading Canada is a big leap (for now).
All this could have been avoided if one guy had slightly better aim.
The guy had a pretty good aim. It was down to luck.
I think the shittier part of this is that if that whole thing hadn’t happened, Trump might have not won. He got the best PR of his whole campaign during that one minute.
Eh he was gonna win whether or not that happened. It helped his image certainly, but he was already well on the way to winning and Biden was already increasingly unpopular.
If the guy actually shot him we probably would have been okay though cuz I don’t think Vance has the same pull with the Maga base
Time travelers can’t do anything right…
People were thinking about that probably a lot in the 30s and 40s
I think about this a lot actually. So close
How!? How is this guy allowed to be President!? 🤬 This is every time I see him speak and says anything!
He’s Constitutionally ineligible, but the US no longer has a Constitution, so…
Bankrupting his country like he did with all his businesses, including a casino. Notoriously difficult to bankrupt.
Don’t forget his secondary handler FElong and how he tanked Twitter.
3 casinos.
Also barred from running charities because he stole from kids with cancer, wasn’t it?
Yes, he’s banned from running charities. But not just him. His whole family is banned because they were all in on it.
Speech from Trudeau gave me “we’re at war” vibes.
It’s incredible at which speed things are falling apart.
They’re only falling apart because trump took a wrecking ball to them.
I like that Trudeau announced he was fucking leaving and before he could get his ass out the door and let someone else take the lead, all this shit happens because Trump was elected.
What a fucking circus.
Come on now, calling Trump the dumbest man on Earth is doing a great disservice to JD Vance who has put in an enormous amount of effort this last year to pip him at the post.
Can’t wait for “ONE BILLION PERCENT TARIFF!!!” in 12 hours
Nuh uh! You!
Canada is already going to trade more with us in Europe.
It’s like he doesn’t understand tariffs… It’s hurting your country.
If you put a tariff, it increases the price you’re paying. It makes the goods more expensive for your industry and your population. It makes your industry less competitive as your industry has to sell at higher prices.
Then comes the reciprocal tardif what makes your industry even less competitive. Putting more tardif will hurt your industry.
Did he say “he was the champion of the industry” or whatever similar? Well people voted for the person who doesn’t know what 2+2 makes.
Thing is, America isn’t Trump’s country. Not in any patriotic sense. Far as he is concerned, it is just a random McDonald’s he can ransack and sell off in pieces to whoever can pay him.
It’s like he doesn’t understand tariffs… It’s hurting your country.
It doesn’t hurt his wallet when he is raising prices for all his hotels for secret service and employees 10x and pocketing it. He doesn’t give a shit about the average American or this country. Fuck you, I got mine.
His goal is revenge on everyone he doesn’t like, and to cause pain for those not like him.
Putting more tardif will hurt your industry.
Intentional or typo? Funny either way.
Typo! But yes funny and I let it.
