Trump, kindly go fuck yourself.
In the past, Trump has accused Canada of accepting a $100-billion subsidy from the United States. It's unclear exactly what he is referencing, but it may refer to the trade deficit between the two countries.
But on Tuesday, that purported $100-billion subsidy rose to $200 billion. CTVNews.ca has reached out to Trump's media office to clarify what the $200-billion figure represents.
"I love the Canadian people, they're great," he said. "We're spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. … We can't do it forever."
It sounds like what is going on here is, Trump is doing the normal Trump thing of starting with a conservative narrative (austerity, cutting off moochers) and brazenly lying about the state of the world to fill in the blanks of that narrative, knowing his supporters are happy to live in a fictional world, knowing he can't be called out on it in a way that will matter, knowing that it will get people to continue paying attention to him.
I’m not gonna last another four years of this insanity…
That's their goal, don't give up.
tune out of the internet a little more often, turn off the TV. stop engaging with people who are obsessed with media/news/politics. cut off some family members if need be.
maybe, just maybe, take a firearms safety course and PAL, and buy a gun if you are really scared, but Id suggest just finding better things to spend time on than worrying about how stupid amorphous strangers on the other side of the continent/world are being
It's fascinating rhetoric if he is talking about the trade deficit. It really speaks to his habitual refusal to pay for products and services rendered.
He thinks paying for shit is for suckers.
Last time they lived in a world of alternate facts, is it so hard to believe that they've evolved into alternate reality?
They are looking more and more like Russia every day,
The $200B, I assume, is a made up portion of US military budget "assigned for the protection of Canada". Perhaps it is the value of Canadian auto/timber/dairy industry, not just exports, but I doubt it. It is a made up number nonetheless.
In other thread, while there is unanimity against 51st state idea, there is desperation among Canadians/politicians on staying the US empire's removed. He's made the exact same threats against Europe. NATO kicking out the US and also joining SCO is the right move to isolate the demonic evil US empire's reign of terror on the world and "its allies". Clinging to being US's colony by desperately increasing the level of sycophancy to its wars, is path to worse domination/subservience. The "freedom and democracy" rhetoric for subservience must stop immediately, because democracy is a complete joke. Israel first rule in US, and US first rule in colonies, is not functional politics.
Canada joining BRICS and SCO as a military alliance with protection from North Korea, Russia, China would eliminate the "US burden from protecting Canada". Canada buying Michigan would protect auto industry. Offering Provincehood to any US states would allow those states to escape their crushing share of federal debt, and escape oppression that Trump wants to impose on them. World needs to move on from US empire, and shifting trade and military alliances would address Trump's complaint about Canadian exports, or make them realize that Canada is far more useful as a removed than independent.
