Word salad gaslighting
comment in response to

This is such a marvellous Trump troll. I can imagine PM Carney and King Charles chuckling in Buckingham Palace as they thought up this little diplomatic burn.

Another scapegoat in the making for when it all comes tumbling down. Him and Nutlick will take the fall.

Love this - it challenges journalists to ask better questions. 👏🏻👏🏻

They are trying to fool everyone into believing in a false reality. They think if they just say what they want us to believe often enough, we will all accept it as truth.

South Africans are furious too. SA is a violent place to live for EVERYONE - there is no genocide 🙄 Trump’s narrative about SA is all spin and lies, same as his narrative about Canadian fentanyl and the subsidizing bs. He thinks if he says things often enough people will believe him. Arrogant twat.

The opposite of DEI is apartheid so he is just doing this to bring in some white folks who he hopes will support his new apartheid country. There is no genocide in South Africa - he is totally ignorant of their politics.

For those of us who can’t afford to travel, reading books is what builds empathy as it allows us to walk in another’s shoes. Not enough people (not only Americans) read anymore, so they cannot learn about anything outside of their own experience.

“becoming” …?
We’re all way past the laughing stage and are now waiting for an American revolution. You guys building guillotines yet?

When I was still on X, I got a tweet from Pierre every single day even though I didn’t follow him. Seeing him constantly badmouthing the government and JT was not only pathetic but full of misinformation. If anything, misinformation is why the conservatives did as well as they did. 🤷♀️

PP will never be PM. Conservatives will never win unless they start putting forward better candidates. Carney has upped the benchmark, Canadians will soon see the benefits of having an educated leader with gravitas, one who is able communicate effectively without snark and childish name calling.

This is hardly just about the tariffs.

Good grief I know this is in jest but really, what is it with you Americans and your sense of entitlement? You just seem to want everything. Y’all made your bed with your criminal-in-chief, now you get to lie in it with him! Perhaps you need to listen to Carney’s comments on want vs. reality.

Canadians won’t trust the US for a generation. Perhaps if they amend their constitution to say that convicted criminals can’t run for president and become the whole world’s problem! This vain and greedy, little man will be just another stain on US history.

Fantastic👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🇨🇦 I always thought it ridiculous how the convoy folks whined about PMJT not wanting to talk with them while simultaneously waving a F*ck Trudeau flag. No respect no conversation! PP endorsed hate. Choose common decency over common sense. Enough with the negative, snarky politics.

Good for them!! Way too many politicians making bold statements without remembering FN approval is essential.

👏🏻👏🏻 it’s way past time for Americans to rise up and take their country back. The values of this administration are not American values.

Take heart, there are parallels in history of vacillating leaders who meet their end at the hands of a disgruntled populace. French King Louis XVI, Mussolini, Russian Emperor Nicholas II, and German Kaiser Wilhelm II who was forced to resign because of his incompetence.

Skippy once again showing his unparalleled oratory skills and rapier sharp wit 🙄🙄 good to know he’s focusing on the really important stuff.

Truth and Rand Paul … did I wake up in the twilight zone WTF 😬 Canada has been bludgeoned with absolute nonsense disinformation despite what they’ve said about the unjustified tariffs - perhaps now things will be a touch clearer than mud.

Expecting parents should all attend mandatory training.
My mom died when my kids were babies, so often I wished for a “parenting manual”.
That was 24 years ago, I can’t imagine how hard it must be for young moms today having to make decisions for their children in this age of disinformation.
