Summary

Donald Trump suggested using “economic force” to acquire Canada, citing trade deficits and national security benefits.

He also claimed the U.S. “subsidizes” Canada by up to $200 billion annually.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the idea, saying, “there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell” Canada would join the U.S.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden praised Trudeau’s leadership as he prepares to leave office amidst rising U.S.-Canada trade tensions and tariff threats under Trump.

    Just think about the fact that this man dodged the draft and everyone knows it.

    He has never served a day in his life. It used to be pretty much a requirement that a realistic presidential candidate was ex-military.

    This shit is bonkers. None of this guys children are at any risk if he goes to war with Denmark, Mexico, and Canada.

    Not that he really wants Greenland, or Canada. Its a distraction once again to steer the talking points away from whatever Russia and China are doing, or whatever climate catastrophe they’re working on.

    Finally, this is only news to people reading left leaning sites. Fox news would gloss over this shit or give it 30 seconds of praise. By the time we get properly agitated about something, his fans have forgotten it ever happened.

    People keep saying “How is this not the last straw for people”… He was reelected by people who don’t know about these things or don’t care.

      Incoming: Fox Panel where three fake blond women talk about how they have been to Panama, Greenland and Canada and the people there were really rude and hate Americans even though every school there looked like it was built by America and the guy at the hotel reception said he is so sorry he loves America and please have America come and take it because they really suffer and America is the greatest.

      I’m sure Fox News is saying this is just a smart business move to get the other party to compromise by threatening them and not actually enforcing this tariff.

      He was reelected for different reasons that his absurd theories and comments about foreign affairs
