“As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale,” he said, drawing a begrudging “that’s true” from Trump before Carney carried on.
“We’re sitting in one right now. You know, Buckingham Palace that you visited as well,” he continued, as Trump nodded another “true.”
“And having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign last several months, it’s not for sale,” he concluded. “It won’t be for sale ever.”
With that statement, Carney essentially accomplished what he’d come to Washington to do, stating in the clearest terms possible that Canada would not be annexed by its southern neighbor.
Christ he needs to explain it to Trump like he’s a child.
“So you have your toys and your sister has her toys. And no matter how much you offer her she’ll never sell you her toys.”
he was too stupid to even get into an ivy league even with money, and his father had to make a substantial donation to a lower tier school to even get him admitted.
2 dolls is less than 30 dolls.
Is the 747 model one of Trump’s toys?
Why is it front-and-center of every photo in the White House?
Boeing ad
Hate unskippable ads.
I’m moderately surprised it wasn’t the Trump administration shilling for another company.
“The White House, brought to you by Boeing. We’ll keep the doors on for you!”
Ex con trump had to have the meeting at the White House because felons are prohibited from entering Canada.
He’s still a convicted felon. Surprisingly he hasn’t given himself a golden ticket yet.
They are state level convictions. He has no power over that. Only federal convictions.
Ah thank you for reminding me!
They are state level convictions. He has no power over that
Yet. Expect that to change some time during his currently illegal third term.
The White House may never be for sale, but it does have a history of being burned to the ground when its occupant provokes its northern neighbour.
Canadians: Burn the White House to the ground
Me: “Oh no! Anyway…”
and things were very historical
I would honestly support this historical reenactment
I like how Donald put a fence around the White House. Like that is going to somehow stop Canadians from setting it afire with him in it.
And we’ll do it again if we have to.
I love that Trump was probably wondering who the “owners of Canada” are and how he can contact them.
They know, they tried to do that on Greenland with the locals. It failed miserably…
I didn’t catch that “owners” statement before. But it’s excellent – and not because it stumped Trump. So many different groups will believe he was talking about them.
Haha yup, just one of the quips Carney made that went over Trump’s head. Referring to Canada being owned by Canadians to a man who believes he owns his country himself was really well done.
I heard he was probing the president of the US Virgin Islands in a phone call for answers on who owns Canada.
Carney was far over Trunp’s head. He did the thing where he supposedly complimented him but Trunp’s too dumb to realize “transformational” is not necessarily positive. Carney was a diplomat and Trunp was a stream of consciousness non-sequitur lip flapper.
I feel like this was an ELI5 moment.
That’s an insult to five-year-olds.
ELIPOTUS is the new ELI5.
White House might not be for sale, but it has proven remarkably flammable at the hands of a bunch of tourists from Canada…
Trump is a fucking embarrassment…
A national embarassment
An International embarrassment to all decent humans, confused how a nation of people can give an idiot this much power
Twice
If he were only embarrassing the world wouldn’t respond so negatively to him.
carney isnt in a desperate situation like zelensky was.
not for lack of trying
Well, yeah. Carney wore a suit. /s
The White House itself might not be for sale but its current administration certainly it is.
