Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Do you live in the US mate ?

Are ordinary folks swallowing the guff that comes out the orange man baby’s mouth ?

How do they feel about the Tariffs applied and retaliation by Canada ?

Trumpers swallow everything he says

Anyone else knows he's a buffoon

 

[Efcjake]

We have to call this bully's bluff and make it as painful to the American Consumer as we can. It's the only way they will learn they don't get to vote in a bully and escape without catching a punch in the face

Cut off the oil, cut off the power, cut off the potash. Concede nothing.

No matter what happens after this the feeling of betrayal will remain in Canada.

The Four Nations hockey tournament in Montreal should be fun.

Americans won't learn anything, mate.

Large swaths of idiocy here, totally beholden to the right wing media world view pumped into their brains for the last 30 years

Yes, they'll probably blame it all on us as the White House has already begun that narrative by stating that Canada "misunderstood" the intent of the tariffs and that somehow Canada is "starting a trade war".

Utter bollocks. When this is your elected leadership its very difficult to remind ourselves that only half of your country is nutjobs and the other half are actually quite sound.

You should have invited the Czech kids back to ruin your backyard party again.

You love to see it.

If Trump wants a trade war, he'll get a trade war.

Hahaha the overreaction to that tournament over here was great. Local coached picked his favourites and got shown up.

There were lots of other players he could have brought but didn't but I think the coach as the big problem rather than the kids they did take.

Well, as difficult as that may be, it's the truth

Today's GOP is utterly despicable

He didn't throw the uk under the bus earlier because of the Aukus pact for Aussie subs patrolling and monitoring the Chinese from the Pacific.

Revenue is all he's protectionist regards, spending is not being cut it's being stopped. How long before he decides to default on a deal. I wonder how he'd react if the uk binned MDA and shipped the trident stuff back, then went all isolationist and removed all us military from all british territories.

It’s not even that bad. 77M voted for him, which is actually just less than 25% of us. The rest fall out into three almost perfectly equal 25% segments of Kamala voters, people who could vote but cba, and people who can’t vote because they’re either too young or felons. We truly are being led around by a idiotic vocal minority.

 

[LinekersLegs]

They're putting out gaslighting press releases about how Canada has misunderstood their intent and we're somehow responsible for the trade war they're creating.

It is madness.

I mean, how exactly are Canadians meant to understand this “intent”?!!


There have been at least 5 “reasons” expressed for the tariffs in the last 48 hours - many of which directly contradict each other!

It’s odd, but I’m actually rooting for Canada here. The wannabe Putin path Trump is on is really grinding my gears. After awful inflation for the last few years, he clearly doesn’t give 2 craps about what all this will do to average/working Americans.

The best way for the Canadians to stop this talk is to say ok, but we want it as three states (not one) with full political representation - senators, reps etc plus two Supreme Court justice picks of their choice - and French being made an official language of the US.

The circle around Trump will drop it at once.

It's not odd. Honest.
