I still don't think he realizes the tariffs he keeps threatening us with hurt his people way more....

The Canada, Mexico, California, Washington Oregon States.

The US consumers voted for Trump to lower the price of eggs.

The price of eggs is soaring today. Why? Because bird flu is killing chicken.

So what does Trump do? He cancels research on bird flu. Surely the irony won't be missed on the magats who voted him in.

And now this: aggression against allied nations that will result in more price hikes. More irony for the maga morons to enjoy.

It's only been 4 days. It's gonna be a long 4 years...

I'm going to keep posting this every time I see a reference to US tariffs against Canada.

The TL;DR is that tariffs would violate the NAFTA / USMCA treaty in which Canada agreed to respect US copyright law in exchange for free trade. No free trade? Canada doesn't need to respect US copyright any longer and can become a flourishing economy of products to compete with US products that are massively overpriced. Think printer ink and other stuff.

Why the fuck is this asshole fighting with fucking Canada? Goddamn I can't wait until he dies.

So many people are extremely missing the point here

Trump is purposefully threatening Canada to give his canadian conservative buddy Poilievre something to "fight" against, to make him look good

"Wow Poilievre is standing up against Trump, I'm gonna vote for him!"

That's the game plan, in reality the two dipshits are best buds and can collude together to fuck over both countries extra hard, after conservatives get a majority over here.

It's a stunt to get conservatives in charge over here "against" Trump, which is so fucking stupid and yet it's probably gonna work cuz so many people are gonna fall for it.

I don't think the liberal party has a good play against it, other than if our new liberal leader challenges Trump and musk to a boxing match and literally bears the shit out of them on live television

I unironically think the Lincoln "I'll fight you let's go right now" leader who seriously fucks up Musk or Zuckerberg or any of those dipshits on live television would actually win by a landslide here

It's fuckin stupid but that's what works apparently...

Canada if you're listening, you should burn down the white house like it's 1812

Putin hired him to start pointless nonsensical arguments with our nearest and most vital allies and that's what he's gonna do.

Here's the plan. The Northern US states all join Canada. The Southern Half of US states join Mexico. The US is gone. Canada & Mexico join to become 1 huge nation. (putin shits himself!) And then we deport ALL the conservatives out of North America, and live happily ever after. Problem solved. You're Welcome.

Remember when he said he was gonna end the war in gaza and ukraine?

Or cut the prices on gas and food?

Yea, this is abuse of the news cycle. It's just manipulation of news cycle so you don't think about any losses, mistakes or other shit.

Besides this being a distraction, it's more likely that in this case Canada would end up politically annexing the USA:

• The 2 Senators and 50 something electoral votes for "Canada State" would mean that Canadians would end up controlling US politics. :D

Of course if one assumes that elections remain binding in the Turd Reich.

I'm willing to die not to join the US.

Canada please join the EU!!!

And Canada collectively tells him to go fuck himself. Seriously, he really thinks that will make them want to join him?

Please let this be the trigger for free trade with Europe and all that lovely meat and cheese.

No, says Canada.

I still remember fondly the Trump speech at the UN when the whole assembly laughed at him.

I suspect that there's going to be a lot more of that to come.
