I love seeing that video of a journalist asking trump about what he said about some tariffs and him responding "I think the other countries pay them". He truly doesn't know how they work.

He may be dumb but not as much as the people who voted for him
Just skip to the end and stop all imports and exports between both countries, see how well that goes.
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.
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
Probably but I don't think we've had an actual doctor come to any conclusion and probably won't until he's dead. Barring that Trump does the same shit but instead of freezing he just goes full word salad. It also seems like he's having some pretty severe mobility issues.
Yeah that's still fucking dumb because it's not a state. You don't call the car you want to buy "your car" because it just isn't.
Well no, Putin couldn't openly declare war without forcing Europe to get involved, if they claim it's anything else we'll that's more grey.
No one said it wasn't, you're taking offense to things that were never said.
You do if you want to steal said car and then turn around and tell everyone that it was actually yours to begin with
We know its a lie. He knows it's a lie. Probably even the idiots who vote for him know its a lie. But if you say a lie enough times and people don't tell you to fuck off, it becomes the truth.
The same way that people are taught that the american civil war was fought for states rights, not slavery, when we know that most of the states seceded because of slavery
No because it that situation you still did the thing, here he's just playing about prosperity gospel shit where of you just believe it'll happen.
It doesn't though, that only works on very specific things that aren't as easily disproven by something like the existence of an entire country.
No one is taught that in school, parents say that shit.
Man Palestine was an entire country up until 1947 and now you find people.saying that it never existed and was always Israeli land.
These lies do work, and they are used as justification after the fact. Again, very similar to how Putin also said Ukraine wasn't really a country and was part of Russia.
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
The funny thing is this is Trump's way of trying to insult Canada and our PM, but he comes off sounding like an idiot who doesn't know Trudeau's proper title.
Like, come on USA. Your grandfather is wandering down the street with his pants off again. Can you come get him?
Can you come get him?
I don't think we can. Not yet anyway. Cut off the power and throw enough tariffs to piss off US corporations we might be able to get people out in the streets.
I get why the USA doesn't see Melania anywhere ...... If I'd say half the things he said, my wife would not show herself to anyone either. If i'd say all of it she'd be gone far far far away long before i finished babbling
As if she has shame. She's the "I really don't care, do u?" first lady. All she has is a boatload of disgust for the physically detestable husband she's saddled with and no reason to appear beside him. If he were young and handsome, she'd be sucking him off in public.
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 in the process that might raise enough American political 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.
we have no cards left for the next thing,
That's the game, he's bleeding you for cards.
If he's going to attack you, he'll bleed you first. There is no appeasing him permanently.
We have a deep deck (which is part of why playing the whole thing at once would be kinda nutty). Like every day someone mentions a new way to screw with them I hadn't thought of. Cutting off power, cutting off water, taking their stuff and not paying, ignoring their intellectual property, cutting off Alaska...
Nobody is talking appeasement anymore, even Danielle Smith is getting muted about it. The question is how to help Trump ruin himself the best, politically and economically.

Looks like the Governor of the 47th Oblast is throwing another hissy fit.
