      Indeed, do whatever is in your own best interests, Canada, Mexico, and China, the US government is experiencing an unfortunate moment of insanity.

            The “moment” is the duration of the Trump administration.

            Lots of people are keen to blame everything on Trump, imagining that if he would just go away everything would go back to “normal.” But Trump is not the cause of this, he is the symptom of this. America has been trending in this direction for many decades now, with increasingly corrupt and authoritarian/isolationist governments that the electorate has been putting into power. It’s not going to suddenly reverse if Trump suffers a fatal brain clog tomorrow. There might be a moment of respite but that’s not something to depend on as a long-term change for the better, only as breathing room to further prepare for America’s continued degradation.

    An empty threat that’ll hurt us more than them. That’s like an ex threatening to get rid of her own dog.

      He’s illiterate, he can’t read or understand words. Glasses won’t help. Also, he is currently the dumbest human on planet Earth right now.

      The thing is he doesn’t actually represent most of the United States. Most of us are no better than plastic pieces on a game board.

    He still doesn’t damn get it “if those two countries make a deal I’m going to punish my own people.” What the flying hell. I know he’s stupid and he refuses to learn but damn.

    I can’t wait for a moment where he slip, jumping from the last thing to the next, and use the epstein files as a distraction for something else out of sheer stupidity.

    Boy, he got mad once someone explained that speech to him enough times.

    Carney answer wss that he’ll be focusing on things he can control, which is the right answer. Trump will move on to the next shiny object in a week or two.

    Greenland was last week,

    Canada will go this week,

    Then some country can reject his board of peace offer, and he can focus on that country next week.

    I mean, that’s the play here… just bounce him around on different topics on a weekly basis.

    We’ll be back to Iran at some point… then it will be North Korea, then China, then Windmills, then Elon and SpaceX, then maybe another state/ice situation, then it’ll be something who the fuck knows…

      Nooooo, not the windmills again. We have way too high electricity prices and need our wind farms to come online.

      Let taco don Quixote be a nightmare of the past.
