President Donald Trump has said that Canada's support for a Palestinian state will make any trade deal between Washington and Ottawa "very hard."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to comments made by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada was planning to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations in September.

Trump wrote: "Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh' Canada!!!"

Canada should not have backed down until deal was done IMHO

A done deal means absolutely nothing when it's negotiated with a serial liar who will tear it up when the mood strikes him.

3.5 more years... We all just got to survive

I think that's very wishful thinking - Trump isn't the disease, he's just the figurehead and symptom. And that's assuming that there will be a free and fair election, which is a very big assumption as fascists don't tend to like elections. They're going to be a dangerous, unstable country for a long time.

Not just that but if he isn't dead he ain't going nowhere in three more years.

Can we have a list?

More bullshit and lies from President Pedophile Rapist and his merry band of Christo-Fascists. The U.S. is a dangerous enemy state and we should act accordingly.

Be the change you want in this world!

(I don't think you should actually assassinate him, I'm sure something will do away with him sometime soon....I hope)

Palestine's situation resonates with us because, very recently, a fascist threatened our sovereignty too.

Trump raises tariff's to 2,742% due to Canada not purchasing enough Trump Steaks...BREAKING NEWS!...Trumps team just showed him how percentages work and he decided to go with a less complicated system...tariff rates based on tween model guesses.
