Trump also denied reports that Canada pulled out of trade negotiations over the weekend over crazy last-minute demands from Trump administration officials such as changing Quebec’s French-language protections.

I could 100% believe trump or one of his idiots tried to make that demand.

But if he didn't, and Ford just made that shit up, I 100% support that tactic.

Every other country should just do the same shit to trump at the same time.

I want to hear Aussies saying they can't deal with trump because he demanded the legally define any blade over 3 inches as a sword and not a knife.

I want England to say he wants them to ban beans on toast.

Germany to say he wants to force all beer to be non alcoholic.

Italians saying he wants to ban gluten.

Flood the zone with so much shit he's constantly on the defensive and doesn't have the energy to start actual wars or even trade wars.

Keep the baby distracted till midterms and maybe we can get rid of him thru congress. Or at least get him in check somewhat.

    Trump also denied reports

    I also love how we all basically take this as confirmation that this did in fact happen.

    This is the stuff worth ignoring. He can call it Lake Freedom Fries, Lake America, Lake Trump, or whatever. That doesn’t mean Canada or New York will change the signage of the area. It’ll be another dumb Google Maps change that will vanish after this guy finally leaves office.

    It’s humorous that this moron thinks he has any authority to rename any geographical feature. Literally no one calls it Gulf of America except the sycophantic spineless supporters and businesses like Google and Apple.

    A complete fucktard.

    Unfortunately, the bootlicks and the cult members do.

    If we ever get a Democratic president and they don't reverse stuff like this immediately, the Democrats might just lose the population forever.

    Sure, some might argue it is "just" symbolic to reverse it. But conservatives doing stuff like what donnie does is also symbolic, so reversing it should be NBD and something done immediately.

    If anyone Enlightened Centrist (TM) or Murc's Law Media simp asks "why are you doing this?" or "what gives you the right to do this?" - tell them that "the American people elected this President ____ to do the will of the people, blah blah" - in other words, give them the exact same gaslighting bullshit the Republicans do, and never, ever apologize for it, ever.

    Speaking as a Michigander… ( now in California) So stupid. It’s also a shared border with Canada. It is international waters. So we would have a different name for it than Canada. It is already in America, too. North America!

    You also learn in school the initialism of HOMES, to remember all of the lakes for a quiz or life or whatever. Not that that matters as much as his pettiness as a “leader.”

    He is an absolute embarrassment.

    Is he also going to rename Ontario, California?!

    I guess he needs to distract from the bad trade deal negotiations with Canada to distract from the illegal war going poorly with Iran.

    I used to believe the whole distraction theory, but now I think he's just that much of an idiot. Suggesting that there's a strategy just gives him far too much credit.

    Every time in his life that he fucked up before now he's been able to cheat his way out of it. All he knows is fucking up and cheating. If he had ever faced a consequence, he might have at least the intelligence of a slug, but he was never forced to develop his mind in any way other than cheating.

    The only caveat I have here is that he's a puppet. The likelihood that there are intelligences behind him is too great. Trump doesn't have a strategy, but others do.

    Flatter him a few times and ask him to say something stupid and it'll get said. He is the distraction, but doesn't know it.

    My holdout for hope is that this much of a stooge can only come around every few years. There can't be another idiot waiting in the wings, right? Right?

    I don't think those in his circle will dance on the same strings that trump will, and will break the illusion if asked to, but I'm just an optimist.

    Why would anyone care how Americans call something? On American maps it would be Lake Trumpario. And?

    For you as a .de user, probably not much right now outside of you getting to make fun of the incompetence of Americans with a dementia addled man who has a book of Hitlers speeches on his nightstand in charge of a waning super power.

    Longer term, there are going to be impacts to you as he destabilizes the global markets, screws with the energy market, this time with Canada, which might be good for you guys, and continues to deteriorate trade and military alliances with America's allies.

    And at any rate, it's always good to make fun of fascists, their ego's can't stand being mocked.

    I am convinced he started all this when he returned to office because he was pissed at the former Canadian head for being so handsome his wife and daughter swooned over him.
