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.

An empty threat that'll hurt us more than them. That's like an ex threatening to get rid of her own dog.
"If you make a trade deal between yourselves, I will punish the people I represent!! Taco"
You caused this, you dickhead, you.
Not that it's any of your business, either way.
Correction, Trump threatens US public with increased prices in already struggling economy.
This idiot has one move
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.
Do whatever you want, Canada. Mexico roots for you.
Indeed, do whatever is in your own best interests, Canada, Mexico, and China, the US government is experiencing an unfortunate moment of insanity.
It's not really a "moment", this is the cumulation of a long-term trend.
Please, define "moment", if you would? Are there any other editorial changes you would like to suggest?
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.
agreed, if trump keels over the dems will go back to full time whoring for whoever has money and the republicans will go back to racism, home grown terrorism, and fascism-lite until the next fascist leader rises up. Trump is more a symptom than a driver. Even his being evil is based in mediocrity.
Oh boy oh boy, it's going to be TACO day again soon!!
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...
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.
Threatening our second biggest supplier of trade and our #1 provider of nearby raw materials is not going to end well for us. Doesnt seem very clever.
