80-year-old angsty teen... how can anyone take this man child seriously?

We don't want to be the 51st state. The idea repulses us, actually.

Elbows up, guys!

No one wants to be america. People want to be human beings that are able live as human beings. People don't want to be pawns to a machine that sucks humanity and souls from living bodies.

I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the QuΓ©bec-Windsor corridor.

I think Ontario has already paused the Export tax unfortunately. But I would absolutely call his bluff. An attack on Canada would mean a full-blown article 5 crisis before Trump has all of the cards that he wants. While he might be that stupid. Others in his administration aren't.

Just in case, a good show from Carney would be to deploy the military to the area because of an increased threat of terrorism.

When is this fat fuck gonna get it through his head that we will never be a part of the US, and there's nothing he can do about it?

Old man shout at canada... again

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 14 points 23 hours ago

Is it really a "longtime tariff" when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish...

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is desperate to be a part of Canada, huh?

[–] Slayan@lemmy.ca 18 points 23 hours ago

Someone else said musk is prob forcing him to do it because he want to be the next president. Since he has canadian nationality he'll be able to gun for president.

Kinda crazy guess, but they are crazy so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I've never been so viscerally irritated in my life. ELBOWS UP

This is the stupidest thing ever. If he really wants a 51st state then Puerto Rico is right there and wants to gain statehood.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

He wants our resources, PR can't help there.

I like to keep my pension and EI benefits thank you very much.

Lol at there no longer being a border problem. How exactly does this change ANYTHING about guns and fentanyl crossing between Canada and the US? And whatever immigration problems Trump is complaining about would be completely moot if suddenly the entire country are now forced to become US immigrants.

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 8 points 22 hours ago

Because in that syphilis riddled brain, the orange-blunder has had the brain-shart concept slip out of the diseased sections and into what passes for a consciousness, that by only having a state line, there is no border, and so he will have solved "the border crisis". This is not a rational human being we're dealing with, it's a geriatric puppet-dictator who very likely has some form of degenerative brain condition.

This broadcasts his insecurities about being clueless how the economy or anything works, and has surrounded himself with yes men idiots that can't even bail him out of this hole he dug himself. A big tell is he is so pissed he is giving them over 4 wks to lift their electricity premium.

As an American I say Canada should just go the "we don't bargain with terrorists" approach and just cut the electric today. Call the bully's bluff.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sad thing is is Ontario has already taken the surcharge away, because he is going down to DC to get the shake down.

I hope he comes back and just turns the power off.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago

Ford is loving every minute of his US media tour. I hate that he’s our spokesperson down there though.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 day ago

I’ll cherish Trump when he’s 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.

Hopefully this afternoon.

Narcissistic abuser tactics, as usual. "I'll be so good to you, babe, the ~~beatings~~ tariffs will stop if you become my ~~wife~~ 51st state."

Canada will be waiting for you fuckers!

Dear Trump Cabinet members,

The earlier you 25th this guy, the better chance you have of keeping your cronyism going for the foreseeable future.
