    He has the patience of a fucking saint, the fact he’s able to be in the same room as this bellend for more than 30 seconds and stay diplomatic is a skill.

    “Business” with DJ means private dealings resuling in things like Hotels, Golf courses, prostitutes, piss tapes.

    most of that business he does with mass murdering gulf states, and other mob regimes like Russia.

    If the orange twit didn’t have so many scheming enablers in Washington he’d’ve been long gone by now. No real company would put up with such idiocy

    Ah but those are 2024 numbers. In 2025 the numbers will show that Canada doesn’t buy anything from the US any more. Same with most of the rest if the world. Trump will be right! /s

    I have family who truly believe Trump to be a genius. But everytime, and I do mean everytime I hear him speak he comes off as a senile idiot.

    I wish I understood what spell he has people under.

      He just speaks with certainty, and since some people truly know nothing (and not in the wise, Socratic way, lol) and have never used their brains in earnest, they believe it. Maybe they like his humour too (not a good reason to pick a leader but, again, people are moronic and basically brain-dead in the States). Maybe they like he’s racist and cheeky about it, in a very aspirational way.

      everytime

      Not a word, my dude.

      Having said that, I admit I can no longer watch Mr Trump do anything. I feel I’m growing dumber just by sharing in the experience. I’m not a smart man, and I can’t spend non-renuable brain cells on watching that man. I just can’t spare the cells.

        Whoa, don’t do this …you will hurt your hands. Get yourself a nice thick hose. You want it thick enough to be able to swing easily but not so thick that it will break bones. That’ll hurt them but not you and you’ll have lots of energy to keep swinging.

          No, no, no. What you do is lead them outside to the nearest tree and have them pick out a switch from the tree and then you take it and repeatedly smack them with it. If they continue to speak in favor of their idiot, then you resort to washing their mouths out with soap.

    Carney even mentions this fact during the conference stating something along the lines “Canada is the US’ biggest client”. I can only imagine how hard Carney must have bit his tongue anytime Trump rambled wrong facts about how economies work.

      Agreed. If there’s any good that can come out of the trump administration, it’ll be that the rest of the world learns to be more cooperative. At least that’s what I’m hoping, wouldn’t bet against the complete opposite…

    The other striking thing to all this stupidity is … $143.6 B of trade with China

    Everyone keeps demonizing China and treating it like some sort of new military power that is going to take over the world … yet they do billions of dollars worth of trade with them every year

      And considering trade with China is because of the cheap prices, that $143.6 B represents a much larger number for how much gdp activity happens after it’s imported, once wholesalers resell it to retailers who resell it to customers.

    “Canada will never be for sale”

    “Never say never“

    What is shitty way to treat a guest.

      Trump had already been caught with agreeing that somethings are never for sale on the WH topic, where he commented “it’s true”

        And I’m sure he’s already forgotten that, and/or changed his mind at least a dozen times by now.

        Because he’s fucking insane

      Carney mouthed the word never five times with a smile on his face in response to that on the Canadian broadcast.

    When he says “We”, he means the Trump org, or the side of the Kushners who are with him. Remember - either it directly and immediately benefits him, or he doesn’t know it exists. When he says “we”, he always means “I”. He doesn’t do much business with Canada. Therefore, he wants to buy it so he can shit out slums all over it.
