Trump drops the demeaning "governor" stuff and calls Carney by his correct title

Mark Carney vs. Dipshit Donnie is the biggest mismatch in political history. Vive La Canada!

toddgoldsbie.bsky.social•7 days ago

Carney looking like he’s got the right stuff.

daveneste.bsky.social•7 days ago

More likely his babysitter took his phone.

He's King Hippo from Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!!

paulmadsen.bsky.social•7 days ago

There was an implied endorsement in mentioning another meeting after the election. An endorsement by Trump is rightfully poison to Canadian politicians at the moment

truthsquad.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump didn’t write this post.

profsteed.bsky.social•7 days ago

very specific, concrete justification for punching Nazis

politibaker.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly!!!! He won’t stop until people stop him.

I've been trying to tell people this forever that guy doesn't respect people just the boot.

madorangeking.bsky.social•6 days ago

See Canada, Mexico.

capillariancrest.bsky.social•7 days ago

They’re all like this. Which is why we need to fight back at all levels against these motherfuckers. They only understand force. Not diplomacy and not reason.

booradley31.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's because authoritarians hate/fear weakness. Seeing weakness in others reminds them of the weakness in themselves, and they want to obliterate any reminder. If you act strong, they are secretly grateful that you're not reminding them of their most hated fault.

mharoun.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you for the attention to this matter.

larryarcher.bsky.social•6 days ago

This time the writing style is quite Kremlin-ish. Fishy.

sheryl1971.bsky.social•7 days ago

Mark Carney made it very clear that he had no intentions of speaking to Trump unless the "governor" and "51st state" bullshit stopped. Looks like it worked! 🤣

endmalcompetence.bsky.social•6 days ago

Similarly, I think other countries should adopt a clear policy that any public announcement of tariffs (new import taxes on the American people) by Trump will trigger retaliatory ones for at least X months, even if he changes his mind at the last second.

sheryl1971.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's a good strategy 👍

kstroopwafel.bsky.social•7 days ago

🔴⚪️🔴 It’s telling that the readout explicitly states, “The Prime Minister informed the President that his government will implement retaliatory tariffs… following the announcement of additional U.S. trade actions on April 2, 2025.”

Direct. No-nonsense. 🇨🇦

sheryl1971.bsky.social•7 days ago

Carney's not going to fuck around. He knows our ties to the US have come undone and he's willing and able to move on with other trade and security partners (like the EU). I hope he gets the mandate he's looking for ❤️🇨🇦❤️

truskers.bsky.social•7 days ago

the Conservative Party begged him to drop the 51st state schtick until after the election, my guess is that that’s the biggest factor here

i-like-bread19.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump is being nice to Carney because he knows being seen as on good terms with Trump hurts Carney politically. He did the same to Schumer.

rini1983.bsky.social•7 days ago

I really wonder what he threatened Trump with, lol. Or maybe it was just Melania's thing with Trudeau 🤣

tooze.bsky.social•7 days ago

He wants to join the Common Wealth and feels Canada can put in a good word.

veeforward.bsky.social•7 days ago

Someone should tell him that the head of every Common Wealth country gets their own private crown, a knighthood & title from the King, and an extra special, one of a kind, biggest, best ever, royal ring to wear, straight from the royal vaults. Might get him to switch sides.

mdpadula.bsky.social•6 days ago

It helps A LOT that, as far as we know, Melania does not have a crush on Carney (yet). That is ALL that this was ever about.

We all need to stop ascribing deeper motives to this shallow, shallow man-child.

tagohio.bsky.social•7 days ago

Never understood why so many were afraid of this weakling. He’s all bluster.

mrunclegeorge.bsky.social•6 days ago

from the start I said ignore him, dont act like we care. In a few months or less when the shit hits the fan we will be holding all the cards.

asharpie.bsky.social•7 days ago

If you're being literal I can be in DC within 90 minutes and would like to volunteer as tribute.

thebookwizard.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yup! Bullies are, by nature, extremely cowardly. They pick on people who they think won’t fight back. And when their victims fight back, they cower.

ginsengsullivan.bsky.social•7 days ago

You don't really think he wrote that himself, do you? 😆
Some flunky is getting yelled at right now.

blue-rog.bsky.social•7 days ago

Bet there's a 1am rant incoming 🤣

fredhager.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think that dumfuck Trump's biggest problem with Canada was that he caught Melania making goo-goo eyes at Trudeau.

radicalboomer.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump got rolled by Carney on the call . Trump just doesn't realize it.

duboisstanaccount.bsky.social•7 days ago

Tell that to soft boy @schumer.senate.gov

maurycompson.bsky.social•7 days ago

@drobertsimg.bsky.social buddy come on. This is your moment to shine

michelle91.bsky.social•6 days ago

I have said this a million times!

fabularasa.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hated having to teach my kids that if someone picks on you or pushes you around, the only way to stop (and prevent it from escalating) it is to hit back , harder. Memorably hard.

But I’m grateful they know it. Wish more of us pacifists did.

suddensyl.bsky.social•6 days ago

I taught my son that, and to help others being bullied. That’s how he got suspended on his first day in 7th grade when he punched out a punk on the bus bullying another kid. I was so damn proud of him. We went out for ice cream.

galaxymap.bsky.social•7 days ago

I used to get beaten up by bullies when I was a kid. I soon learned that the best response was to aim a punch at their nose. The sight of their own blood gets bullies to back off fast.

owlgoddess24.bsky.social•7 days ago

Also, punching nazis is the morally correct thing to do.

Not to mention the personal satisfaction that comes with that.

leeglick.bsky.social•7 days ago

This. A thousand times, this.

albertcy.bsky.social•7 days ago

ChatGpt much.

markjnorris.bsky.social•7 days ago

He’s a fucking moron, look at his syntax. An absolute fucking moron.

mlco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Agreed

tamara0715.bsky.social•7 days ago

I mean, we were taught this stuff when we were little kids. Underneath the hood, every bully is just a pathetic little weakling scared of getting punched in the nose.

kate411.bsky.social•7 days ago

Doubt it.

cjmott.bsky.social•7 days ago

This may be Trump trying to reduce the Liberal Party's momentum in the upcoming election.

jmcjimbob.bsky.social•7 days ago

If you punch him back twice as hard, he'll back away quickly and maybe fall down.

Win win!

cherylprice.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why does he end these with « thank you for your attention to this matter? » Does he think he is a subway announcer? I honestly read these as coming through a static-y speaker.

mollieoreilly.bsky.social•7 days ago

I was just going to say! Why has he fixated on this particular bit of management-speak? What does he think it conveys? It's so weird to use it as a sign-off in this context.

marcalyn.bsky.social•7 days ago

it’s because one of his aids used AI to write it because they’re incompetent fucking idiots.

eaddlesperger.bsky.social•7 days ago

The amount of US intelligence stored in ChatGPT servers must be astounding

marcalyn.bsky.social•7 days ago

I assume every piece of information that musk and his team has had access to has already been fed to Grok

tykebrahe.bsky.social•7 days ago

He clearly did not write that - as it’s not his normal batshit style .

But the broader point is correct

neadfifty.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think the f35 threat was becoming real.....Canada would have options to go short term with French or Swedish fighters, then fully transition to the British GDAP

lukebro92.bsky.social•7 days ago

If only they hadn't cancelled the Avro Arrow!

bellchamber.bsky.social•7 days ago

And he really really can't take a punch.

dancedance.bsky.social•7 days ago

Elbows up everyone

therealmb1941.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump is like every other bully. Which makes it so “sad” to see people bowing down to him

azery.bsky.social•7 days ago

On one hand this is true, on the other, it’s extremely obvious Trump didn’t write this and thus this isn’t really indicative of much except that he likes Carney more than he did Trudeau

marcalyn.bsky.social•7 days ago

The right approach is to not back off. Canada needs to continue to take steps publicly that marginalize their relationship with the United States. This means resource development working with other countries, pipeline expansions, tanker purchases whatever it takes Trump has to know he fucked up.

ericheilmann.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why the f^*k does he say “thank you for your attention to this matter”?

tykebrahe.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s written by committee

plessinger.com•7 days ago

Trump. didn't. write. that.
