We’ve been subjected to costs that we shouldn’t be subjected to. In the case of Canada, we’re spending 200 billion a year to subsidize Canada. I love Canada, I love the people of Canada. I love I have many friends in Canada. The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great. Hey, how good is Wayne Gretzky? He’s a great one.

why tf does the media present this as anything other than unhinged dementia word salad

Is Quayle still alive? He’s gotta be pissed about the “potatoe” thing.

I have no idea what the fuck he's talking about in terms of "subsidizing" Canada. Either he has absolutely no idea how trade defects work or he's purposefully playing dumb since apparently Canada needs the US less than the US needs Canada

We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.

Okay… that made me laugh. Thanks. Needed that tonight.

If he really means that, then Punxsutawney Trump has just forecast another four years of recession.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 63 points 1 day ago

Who the fuck is Trump to decide if we’re a sovereign country or not.

At this point: Death to Trump. Murder Trump. Eradicate Trump.

I’ll fight and die for this country.

TRUMP DESERVES DEATH!!!

Good luck. We have allies and friends who still trade with us that we don't tariff. And as for all of this garbage from Americans asking us to absorb the US instead...

No. Fuck you. You made this mess, you clean it the fuck up. I would not want to touch your shitty country in a hazmat suit BEFORE this recent election. Your country is toxic waste.

If I suddenly stop posting forever in the summer it's because I saw someone wearing a Trump hat here in Newfoundland and proceeded to do some things to him that are very much illegal.

Note to any Americans coming to Canada though for any reason. Ditch the flags and hats and shit. We got tired of it a long time ago but I've outright seen people refuse to serve Americans so far who display any sort of patriotism and I kinda back them on it.

He was sitting right next to the Chair of NATO today when he said this fucking bullshit yet again. The NATO chair said NOTHING even though Orange Shittler talked about violent annexation of a G7 NATO member and (in normal times) ally of the US. Canadians - are you ready to fucking FLQ 2 electric boogaloo ??? Cause it’s looking like that more and more every day.

In the spirit of the Ukrainians on Snake Island, I say "American president, go fuck yourself"

Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!

....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.

I think if this stupid bastard makes any kind of military moves, there will be an uprising. Invading a long-standing ally is ridiculous.

Geezus. Is he really fucking serious about this shit?

Remember, it ain't just trumps dumbfuck ass. He's got a whole cabal of his team telling him to do this shit and encouraging him. This idiot doesn't know wtf he's doing without other people feeding him info.

We should be asking who's behind all these ideas.

Fuck off. He is a senior Alzheimer patient.

I'm sure Ontario, Alberta, British Colombia ... will all be happy to lose their provincial legislatures for one State House. No local representation. All provincial systems of trade destroyed.

This is idiotic talk.

This news article has been posted on r/worldnews and upvoted to be one of the top posts of the day at least twice already, and the mods remove it every single time. Feels like they are trying to cover up Trump’s plans for Canada, at least for now. Probably until more Americans can be brainwashed against Canada.
