I’ll tell you what everybody: If Donald Trump invades Canada, I’ll come here and personally apologize to all the people frothing at me right now. Feel better?

You should promise take up arms to defend Canadian independence but let’s be real, you’ll probably just shrug it off if he follows through. No apology, just a casual, “Hey, is being American really that bad? At least the tariffs are gone!”
No dick head because you and your apologies mean nothing to us. Quit making this about you asshole. It’s about Canadian sovereignty. Belittling us in the mists of a Putin puppet destroying NATO and realigning the world order is not something to scoffed at. You are an elitist.
Please name the countries that have been annexed without boots on the ground. Economic war sets things in motion, but the target doesn't just suddenly slide the aggressors flag up the pole on their own.
There have been a lot of well crafted insults on this thread - deservedly so - but yours is noteworthy in that the recipient might actually catch just a whiff of personal reflection from it.
Doubtful. This guy has shown that he is completely incapable of reflection. Too busy being dismissive and self-righteous to people making valid arguments.
Considering everyone is linking all the other times you were catastrophically wrong about Trump in the thread I’m amazed you can even look at yourself. Like imagine being so bad at what you do lol
Yeah, let’s be real, in that scenario a lot of journalists would be straight up shot by the administration. He’s making light of a scenario that would likely result in his death, or the death of his colleagues.
Amazing, even if you ‘win’ and there’s no annexation, your smugness will guarantee that you’re still the asshole of the situation. What a joke you’ve dug for yourself
The only peeple who actually thinks he’s going to invade are dummies like you who use it as a pretext to mock the actual concern of his rhetoric. Get a life
The problem is when prognosticators face no consequences for being wrong, especially catastrophically wrong? Russia won’t invade Ukraine? No consequences. Project 2025 is fake news? No consequence.
Unless you are coming to say, “if the US invades Canada, I’ll quit this profession,” then buzz off.
He hasn’t threatened invasion. He has exercised economic coercion and threatened the denunciation of long established border treaties. Pay attention and you won’t have to make so many apologies.
Please don't burden some poor, simple soldier—stuck following the lawful orders of Pompey Stultus—with taking the life of this abject fucking assclown at absolutely no benefit to the defense of Canada.
He's not "invading Canada", you complete & utter Dipshit. But he's trying to crush us economically until we want relief and to be annexed into his shit-show of a country.
You don’t fucking get it, do you? I assumed you were just a Yahoo and a hack but it’s obvious by now that you haven’t a clue about the most basic issues of sovereignty and the insanity and danger of minimizing such egregious attacks on that of your biggest trading partner and ally. Suck my froth.
1) What in God's name is wrong with you? You can believe anything you want, but you're a reporter, and you, just like everyone else, have no idea what's going on in Trump's mind, whether he and Putin are cooking up some annexation scheme, whether he'll feel insulted sufficiently
No one needs your apologies, which would be worthless in the event of an invasion. What everyone needs is for you to act like the reporter you claim you are, and report facts instead of picking social media fights with Canadians,
3) who've every damn reason to feel betrayed, and disgusted with our government. Further, they must take these mad rumblings as evidence of intent. What they don't need is someone who has no evidence telling them they shouldn't take seriously what any idiot knows they *must* take seriously.
Yeah, he's a trustfund baby that's never had to work hard a day in his life. He's spoiled, and an entitled little bitch that thinks that his opinion is worth the paper/pixels that it's wasted on.
He doesn't realize that if he disappeared tomorrow, no one would care at all.
I was thinking the same thing! Every documentary I’ve ever seen about them portrays them as a shit organization. Looks like he was fired from a few reputable media companies. Sucks when you’re held accountable for being a horrible writer, and even more for being a horrible human.
i don’t think the repeated explicit expansionist militaristic rhetoric of the president of the most powerful country & commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world is a joke, & i also don’t give a single wet shit how smug you’d personally feel if those ambitions don’t pan out
Better yet, why don't you come on over and find out what Canadians mean when we say "it's never a war crime the first time"? We can give you a full Starlight Tour.
I pray you’re right and fear that you are wrong. Trump seems to have increased his madness as each day goes by. He uses Putin as his model and Canada is his Ukraine.
Perhaps threatening to do so is bad enough. If I threaten to come kill your family, is that ok? If I threaten to rape your mother and watch her die is that ok? And how do you know I don’t mean it. I’m telling you I do.
Don't forget Iran. He threatened them again just yesterday, after having previously stated that he's left instructions to *obliterate the entire country* if they manage to assassinate him.
It would be one thing if it was a throwaway joke in a speech or two. But Trump now talks about this all.the.time. Something is wrong with his brain and the media is right to treat his statements with the alarm.
You'd still be a moron regardless of the outcome, so maybe you should delete your account and go back to boring everyone you meet in person, hey? Acting like the worst outcome isn't a possibility of brinksmanship is just dumb. Like you.
"I’ll tell you what everybody: If Hitler invades Poland, I’ll come here and personally apologize to all the people frothing at me right now. Feel better?" - You if it was 1939
No, go fuc£ yourself. Your president is telling us he's going to take our country over Jordan. How would like it if we did that to your country. Your country where men hunt children for sport, you welcome the Tate brothers, and worship tech bros. Ridiculous! Can you even drink the water there?
This is why you're a terrible journalist. You concentrate on "if" Trump will actually invade Canada. Not the fact that a sitting POTUS keeps talking about annexing our closest geographic and economic ally or why he does so.
The president of the United States is directly threatening to go to war against NATO for the purposes of territorial expansion.
I don’t give a fuck how LIKELY you think it is, you should be willing and able to condemn it as a nightmarishly evil thing to say, worthy of immediate impeachment
Goddamn the new "meritocracy" really just assholes being defiantly perpetually, confidently wrong. If you have any respect left for our country, please quit and get a job in the service industry where you could potentially offer something to society in return for putting up with your trash takes.
I could keep going, but nah. The point is obvious. You've been painfully wrong more than often enough to maybe, just maybe exercise a tiny bit of self awareness about how little you understand about how these people intend on operating.
This guy is going to be walking into the "group showers" in the concentration camp going "c'mon guys be serious they're not really going to gas us with zyklon B."
I'm not even upset about the bad predictions. Trump is a shit tornado and trying to guess what gets dirty next is difficult and some people's income requires them to make predictions. My issue is the surety with which he proclaims all of us to be over reacting, while having that track record.
Omfg what a find. The lack of self awareness is flabbergasting... I wonder if he's ever briefly gotten confused by his own reflection like a parrot and tried to start condescendingly explaining to it that it's nametag was on in reverse
Earnest suggestion: Read Nick Catoggio’s great article in The Dispatch “Kidding on the Square” from February 24, 2025. I don’t believe it’s paywalled, but you might have to give them your email address.
The admin won’t call it an invasion, theyll say Trump is “directing the military to enforce reconfigured borders,” and you dumb motherfuckers will dutifully write it down and in the fifth paragraph say “what some democrats are calling it an invasion”
Nothing Ever Happens is a fucking psyop, dipshit. The world is changing before your eyes! Canadian govt is taking it serious as a heart attack. The old order is dead. At this point the Canadian citizens should be preparing stay behind and early war reaction forces like Ukraine did.
Sounds extreme? Sure fucking is! When your opponent is a fascist freak telling you the extremism they wanna do, take them seriously, even if people call you an extremist for reacting appropriately. That fucking simple. Moderation at a time like this is no virtue.
I'm a Texan and between this more recent shit and the Civil War challenge our governor made last year I'm so fucking scared for the Southwest. So many decent folk live here and in California, especially. I'm trying to prepare for the worst, seems like hoping for the best is a bit naive anymore huh.
I've got weapons, hoping I'll not ever need them not like I'm in great shape or particularly well trained but if shit gets real, I'd rather have em and not need em than viceversa. That and ofc stuff like batteries, canned heat and powerbanks if the grid's down for a bit, general needful things.
Guns are contentious in the US as well but I've always been of the opinion that in times of chaos, it's better to have them than not, or at least its worth considering. As a kid I figured, since I was a kid and read about WW2 and saw Iraq on the TV, we'd be in for sour times before long. I was right
No, because then you’ll still have been wrong and we’ll have been plunged into a stupid war by crazy people and journalists like you who didn’t take the threat seriously.
Jordan, you're not getting ratioed to fuck because people are "frothing", you're getting ratioed to fuck because outside your profession there is a sense of common decency that you're violating
Donald Trump: I am going to use tariffs to crash the economy!
Journalists: He wouldn’t actually do that.
DT: I am going to throw migrants in concentration camps.
Journalists: Just hyperbole for his base!
DT: I am going to bomb Canada.
Jordan: He’s just kidding folks!!
…
Fucking sanewashing asshole.
Thanks for letting everyone know that you are a fucking moron and we should mute your bullshit gaslighting. Lousy fucking Nazi collaborating garbage right here. Eat shit dude.
Haha fool Jordan once, shame on you. Fool Jordan twice, shame on him. Fool Jordan 100 times, dude just gets muted, nobody cares what he thinks anymore. Is he intentionally trying to gaslight us or is he just that stupid? I guess it doesn’t matter.
I would be too humiliated to show my face again if I were this wrong about shit core to my career/identity. But I guess his actual passion is running cover for fascists.
Jordan, as Ukrainian I read a lot of shit like this for the past 20 years, and from personal experience I can tell that fuckers like you never apologize, you would just move goalposts somewhere. Delete your account and never speak again, clown
There's a middle ground between "invasion" & "catastrophic trade war" (WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH IN & OF ITSELF, BTW) that you've completely failed to consider.
&—after your current spate of utterly dogshit predictions—I, personally, would be a little less inclined to hubris if I were you.
Great. Now I’m aware of the existence of yahoo finance journalists. (Who apparently have nothing better to do than troll Bluesky and uh, Canadians) Just the dumbest fucking timeline
I was going to suggest that we would accept his apology if and only if it was made in the style of the yakuza, but an ear is as good as a finger I suppose.
Unless by apologies you mean posting photos of yourself removing a dictator who started that invasion from the office, I doubt Canadians will appreciate it.
And hey, here's an idea, you don't have to wait until your country invades. How about doing something now? Except for placating the public?
If that happens, the only important thing that the people of the world care about is you apologizing. I'm glad you have such a clear perspective on your unique importance in the world.
Not really, look at the immunity decision, the insurrection/re-election/the disregarding of laws/ the payback EO’s/ the clear bribery/ the destruction of NATO/ Lawlessness/ The attempt to re-segregate the country/
Seriously the post was not helpful and I love your work
This is not *just* a question of whether we would get invaded.
It's a question of respect from one nation to another. *Even if there is no invasion*, you absolutely do NOT tell an ally "I want to annex your territories". This is absolute madness! How is this normal?
What you clearly don’t understand, Jordan, is threatening others is wrong. He is threatening one of our closest neighbors, our nearest ally, and closest trading partner. I would expect an educated man with some intellect and maturity to understand this, Jordan. So what’s your malfunction, Jordan?
The kind of savvy, cynical, above-it-all journalism you and the journos like you do is a huge reason we’re in this mess to begin with. Remember “her emails”?
The grievances are not just about this, they’re about the fundamental unseriousness of the US media, top to bottom, going back a long way
"Frothing at you" because we're worried that he would commit a world-historical error of invading our neighbor and, until two months ago, our closest ally, over...nothing? And you think that isn't a big deal? You've lost the plot.
He is not going to invade Canada, but the fact that he keeps talking about it is insane & disqualifying & Canada should treat it like a threat because fuck him for doing it.
Anyone who dismisses what he is doing is sanewashing & normalizing a fucking psycho dumbfuck & should not be listened to.
People like you are the reason Trump was elected in the first place and thanks for denigrating the legitimate fear of an entire country that the U.S. no longer respects our sovereignty
He might not send troops into Toronto, but he might still try stealing some territory by force, or start drilling for oil in Canadian territorial waters, or seize the Hibernia oil platform. There are a hell of a lot of violations of Canadian sovereignty short of full annexation.
“Mr. Trump, he said, had come to realize that the relationship between the United States and Canada was governed by a slew of agreements and treaties that were easy to abandon.
Mr. Trump was interested in doing just that, Mr. Lutnick said.”
From a lowly democracy lover living down here in dumfukistan - I have to warn Canadians right now: do not listen to this smarmy OP. Trump is a menace and a real danger. He will wake up one day and invade Canada if he thinks he can get something out of it and somebody (Putin) praises him for it.
God are you a smug prick. Like, the hallmark Ugly American, that I as an American have to apologize for everywhere I've gone in the world. Go to you room, stand in the corner, and reflect on how badly you come across to people who clearly don't give a shit about your bubble mind righteousness.
Anyone with this level of naivety in the face of American aggression is 1) in denial 2) in collusion with the aggressor. There is no "West". It is Europe and Canada. U.S. is on the war path, and collaborating in the extinction of ally Ukraine, together with Putin. No one needs the apology of a fool.

That is why your ego is so inflated.
Grow up.
You are an expert in one domain. Trying to say something about another domain of expertise is getting you in trouble.
Or, in good Canadian English, get your head out of your ass.
https://youtu.be/wmDVrV7QRrU
you couldn't even hold down a job at semafor and now you're all bitter working for *checks notes* yahoo finance
hope your smugness covers the gaping career-shaped hole in your wounded ego
maybe if he whines loudly enough we'll all hear it before the brownshirts string him up in an alleyway
by then it'll be "i used to work for yahoo till i started my indie-press one-pager you know, are you sure you guys are really doing this"
Unless you are coming to say, “if the US invades Canada, I’ll quit this profession,” then buzz off.
Make the sky black with falling pundits.
THAT SIMPLE SOLDIER WILL BE USING UP HIS AMMUNITION
Surely you've heard it.
I'm sorry/You'll be sorry.
Now do you understand us?
That you treat the horrors of war like this...
No one needs your apologies, which would be worthless in the event of an invasion. What everyone needs is for you to act like the reporter you claim you are, and report facts instead of picking social media fights with Canadians,
He doesn't realize that if he disappeared tomorrow, no one would care at all.

If Dictator Trump puts journalists in jail for being correct, you've nothing to worry about.
Starving children versus a war between professionals.
You think that is better?
SHUT.
THE ENTIRE.
FUCK.
UP.
RIGHT NOW.
Like... immediately.
Not another word from you.
He's already tried to use it against Americans too, but been thwarted. Next time I doubt he'll be thwarted.
He WANTS his presidency to have a body count.
Who the fuck uses yahoo anymore?
Your words have zero impact on reversing any invasion.
You could improve the situation by avoiding saying things that make you sound like a moron.
In the unlikely event of a US-CAN war, this website will be unavailable and some of the people frothing at you will be dead.
Make us feel better by confronting the evil in this administration that we all face and doing something to help defeat it. Or just shut up.
Go to Canada and correct your mistake by putting bullets in any American soldier willing to follow those orders.
Anyone tittering about an invasion of Canada should have the words punched out of their mouth.
And they are the exact same people who did this THREE FUCKING YEARS AGO with Ukraine
They somehow NEVER blame the actual warmongers
I don’t give a fuck how LIKELY you think it is, you should be willing and able to condemn it as a nightmarishly evil thing to say, worthy of immediate impeachment
Well I'm sure Weisman will be fine Trump loves "journalists"

Is going to invade is the buffet at Mar A Largo. With that being said, verbally attacking allies is a losing strategy.
Most of the people there will greet them as liberators.
Tells me what I need to know about you.
Mute 🖕
Journalists: He wouldn’t actually do that.
DT: I am going to throw migrants in concentration camps.
Journalists: Just hyperbole for his base!
DT: I am going to bomb Canada.
Jordan: He’s just kidding folks!!
…
Fucking sanewashing asshole.
Enjoy the attention. It’s probably the most anyone has ever given you.
&—after your current spate of utterly dogshit predictions—I, personally, would be a little less inclined to hubris if I were you.
Hahaha
It won't be about you at that point. How full of yourself can you be that the only way you can be wrong is an American war?
And hey, here's an idea, you don't have to wait until your country invades. How about doing something now? Except for placating the public?
You're a journalist.
Ostensibly, objective... (lmao)
Counter offer:
Please explain, ASAP, your rationale for arriving at your default position that Trump wouldn't.
Trump does NOT rule out military force in Greenland/Panama.
What reasoning exempts🇨🇦from a similar fate?
Seriously the post was not helpful and I love your work
This is not *just* a question of whether we would get invaded.
It's a question of respect from one nation to another. *Even if there is no invasion*, you absolutely do NOT tell an ally "I want to annex your territories". This is absolute madness! How is this normal?
Feel better?
It just lays the vibe instincts over metric facts, bare...
The grievances are not just about this, they’re about the fundamental unseriousness of the US media, top to bottom, going back a long way
It DOES explain your resume, though. Such as it is.
Anyone who dismisses what he is doing is sanewashing & normalizing a fucking psycho dumbfuck & should not be listened to.
Enjoy.
Americans who -cannot- -get- -their- -heads- -around- the idea that America’s record of invasion will make any neighbours nervous.
That’s how your imperial presidency has developed, remember … AUMF?
Mr. Trump was interested in doing just that, Mr. Lutnick said.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudeau-canada-51st-state.html
Maybe start there?
Seems there’s a list.
https://bsky.app/profile/jhweissmann.bsky.social/post/3lcilyioebk2v
if it comes to that, you can make amends by joining an underground resistance cell and blowing some shit up for us.
And if you’re worried about getting thrown in jail (or worse) by your government, just remember your own safe advice: “calm the fuck down”
you're just yet another arrogant and entitled American, we are familiar with the type
trade offer: go fuck yourself
Right now.
