Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.

Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.

Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.

Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.

More leaders should taunt Trump, his toddler responses will make him more unpopular.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

I would've thought that would be more aimed towards his own people, as patriotism. Not necessarily a taunt. But. You know. Both are also good.

Would have been a better win without that trump supporting trashbag Gretzky being involved

It's an alright response but I'd hope for some more Canadian made chirping. Next time he should just shout:

Eh? Give your fucking balls a tug.

I was going to say Trudeau should call him "vice president trump" to point out how subservient he is to musk but... I guess that is why there is the "governor" rhetoric. Like always, it is fascists projecting. trump might only be a VP in his own admin but that is still better than a governor and all that stupidity.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world -4 points 7 hours ago

Trump is Putin's apprentice, invested-in for decades, as The Kremlin Papers identified.

Currently Trump is beta to both Putin & Musk, .. however .. brains change, sometimes gradually, & sometimes suddenly.

I'm betting that Trump will break-through-a-barrier in his brain's function, converting him to his needed psychopathy, this-year, if not this-late-winter-or-spring.

I'm not certain that Musk will like being truly-beta to Trump, when that happens, though..

it's us who would be more-jeapordized, however, by that personality-punctuation..

( there are actual fMRI image-sequences of multiple-personality-disorder patients switching-between-personalities, showing the change-in-brain-energization, now in our scientific record. )

Presuming that "status quo" isn't going to be disrupted is exactly the sort of belief that knifed the Dems in the US, in their back.

Presuming that the current-personality-of-Trump is going to remain unchanged, given the ferrocious forces acting on that poor brain, seems to me, a brain-injury survivor, who has massively altered the function of this brain..

( I spent literally years much-of-the-time catatonic, in the late 1980's & very-early 1990's )..

to be incompetent: normal-people just don't understand how-greatly a brain can change, in short duration, or long..

Even if it was caused by an aneurism/stroke, would his cult permit him to be removed-from-power??

Not a chance, so long as he remained alive.

So, if he loses his mirror-neuron-system, becoming incapable of any empathy, whatsoever, in such a brain-change,

..would that change the rules of ( the nature of ) "who" is governing the US?

Certainly.

But what it wouldn't do, is get the then-psychopath removed from power.


THAT is the threat we're currently under, even-though nobody else on this world considers this to be a real-threat..

So, I place my imaginary-dime ( the only thing I bet, ever: no material-gain/loss, ever, & only imagine the physically-tiniest-coin: keep it from being the gambling that people get their lives sucked-into ) on it happening, & all the world places their bet on it not-happening.

( this also identifies that it is the role which ought be protected, & if a person's personality changes enough, or if they get caught being corrupt, then they HAVE TO be removed from the role, but NONE of the political-party rigged governments hold to this standard!

Because they aren't in it for the benefits of our countries: they only want their-own rule! )

I was absolutely-right about him openly becoming a Putin-ally, about there being "the Caucasian Serpent" ( 1 of the 3 empires prophecied in the Christian's bible, in the end-times ), & I'm betting that I'm right on this point, too.

Hopefully I'm wrong!

Wouldn't the world be better if I always was?

Certainly establishment's-beliefs would be more comfortable..

"Special Advisor to Mr. Musk" or "Assistant to the Assistant to President Trump"
