After beating up Canada as having nothing--"we don't need anything they have"--he promotes making it our "cherished" 51st state.

He's seriously making a land grab with these tariffs and is frankly out of his mind.

The 2nd Tier Mob Boss approach to foreign policy. "You can give us your resources or we can hit you with tariffs. Your choice. Nice little country you got here - would be a shame if something were to happen to it."

I've thought more about this scene in the last two weeks than I have in the last fifty years...

Yep

Vice President Trump is like a rabid dog that lost its mind. Like Old Yeller. We know what happened to Old Yeller.

claireadida.bsky.social•85 days ago

Ok except that I cried for Old Yeller.

Our lumber is superior. My dearest friend was a cabinet maker. He would have preferred Canadian lumber most of the time.

cariroy.bsky.social•85 days ago

He's a stark raving maniac.

gcm198.bsky.social•85 days ago

Perhaps we should stop giving musk more for all his adventures!

canazei17.bsky.social•85 days ago

Most of my family is in Canada, this is going to devastate an already tenuous economy. Imagine getting satisfaction from bullying a country like Canada. Psychopath.

drboabrahamsen.physician.dk•85 days ago

He's a poop and scoop fanatic but it's not a game he does well

alangottesman.bsky.social•85 days ago

This is what's called "syphilis brain". And he's got a severe case of it.

aaces.bsky.social•85 days ago

My thoughts exactly - he reminds me so much of idi amin in his final syphilis brain phase

keithlabrecque.bsky.social•85 days ago

He's calling Canada a failed country?!
How many times is he going to stab irony in the chest already?

msignorile.bsky.social•85 days ago

right?

dark-magic.bsky.social•85 days ago

The GOP and Democrats as well as the media are not doing a DAMN Thing to stop him.

boostd4.bsky.social•85 days ago

He doesn't possess the ability to fumble together a strategy. He's simply poorly following a road map that was put together for him in crayon...and coated with Ranch dressing.

I wish more people would recognize that he's no mastermind, he's just the useful idiot.

krebsbicycle.bsky.social•85 days ago

It's all a pretense for war -no dictator can be without one

shawnjohn.bsky.social•85 days ago

His reverse psychology game is weak.

mookie74-78.bsky.social•85 days ago

We know he never really reads anything as he thinks he knows more than experts about everything. This is the result.

naturallyaspirated.bsky.social•85 days ago

Can a psychologist explain any of this to me? If a Democrat POTUS even hinted at making Canada the 51st state, the Republicans would Baker Act them, impeach, remove & Fox News would spontaneously combust. How is the bar so low for him & so high 4 everyone else? Someone explain n layman’s terms.

Privilege: Wealth privilege. White privilege. Male privilege. Straight privilege. All rolled up in one ignorant package. Plus there is no independent press. It is all controlled by oligarchs.

naturallyaspirated.bsky.social•85 days ago

True! I would consider Biden all those things but he wouldn’t get a pass. I get mainstream media ‘normalizing’ the idiocracy because the oligarchs own it. So, indentured servitude wrapped in the word “Capitalism” is the end goal? We are f*cked

chaoshex.net•85 days ago

Yeah but Biden, for all his flaws (and some of those were pretty big), used some of his privilege as an ally to those without it. So the media doesn't give him the same pass.

donnaskel.bsky.social•85 days ago

Time for the 25th amendment

boloboffin.bsky.social•85 days ago

There's the question, press folk: "The President says Canada doesn't have anything we need, so why does he want it to become the 51st State?"

boloboffin.bsky.social•85 days ago

"Follow up, Mrs. Leavitt - if tariffs don't prove to be enough, what else is the President prepared to do to bend Canada to his will?"

boloboffin.bsky.social•85 days ago

Haha, well, question answered.

sockpuppetpundit.bsky.social•85 days ago

He’s rich. He’s never lived in reality. The people he surrounds himself with are rich and Christo-fascists. They don’t live in reality, either.

He has no thoughts. This is what ‘people are saying.’

Trump is a mouthpiece for tech bros, billionaires, and Project 2025.

What do *they* get out of it?

rbtec.bsky.social•85 days ago

Is this lumber in the room
with him now?

flabbytabby.bsky.social•85 days ago

Whatever happened to Amendment 25? If average citizens can see that Trump is mentally out of control, why doesn’t a Dem or GOP step up. Seeing the damage that’s coming, aren’t there a handful of politicians who can get together and stop this insanity?

jackeber.com•85 days ago

He's so unbelievably ignorant he has no idea what we import from Canada or Mexico. He just wants to act tough at everyone's expense.

scooterg2024.bsky.social•85 days ago

It's what abusers do.

vancitybrandi.bsky.social•85 days ago

Does anyone know of a Bluesky account that shares his Truth Social posts in fairly real time?

shockingsounds.bsky.social•85 days ago

People have been making "Leopard Face-Eating Party" jokes, but we also have a "Punch Yourself In The Nuts Party" going on as well.

northsleuth.bsky.social•85 days ago

First of all, trade deficit with Canada is ~ $45 billion, not hundreds of billions. Second, most of the trade deficit is due to energy that US buys from Canada below market price in many cases. US refines Alberta tar oil and liquifies NG, and re-sales some at a profit to other countries.

waywardpirate.bsky.social•85 days ago

“subsidize” is another “s-word” not commonly understood by rumpT followers. And he uses both to deflect truth:
Corporate socialism - good!
Public socialism - bad?
Few have benefited from corporate subsidies (and preferential tax rates) more than rumpT.

robertmccarthy.bsky.social•85 days ago

He hates their freedom.

rimas127.bsky.social•85 days ago

No offence, but Americans would best travel in groups while in Canada. Seriously.

tajsdad.bsky.social•85 days ago

Why? We would probably take you in and have pity on you for having a moron as a leader.

rimas127.bsky.social•85 days ago

I would rather have a moron than a shithead fat guy.

tajsdad.bsky.social•85 days ago

Ford? I agree. We are both cursed. What's your point? He could always lose weight. Trump? Even Melon couldn't create an AI brain for that idiot.

flobby.bsky.social•85 days ago

Death to fascists. Death to nazis. Death to oligarchs.

s3rge.bsky.social•84 days ago

Ignorance and stupidity right in front of us!

olddoxielady.bsky.social•85 days ago

25th amendment? Someone? Anyone?

olddoxielady.bsky.social•85 days ago

The entire world is laughing at us. What an absolute clown show.

manleypeg.bsky.social•84 days ago

While republicans stand by his side

msignorile.bsky.social•85 days ago

Why would Canada, Greenland (part of Denmark) or any country want to be part of the US with "lower taxes" when they have cradle to grave benefits--full health care, child care, paid parental leave, etc.?

advancedsimian.bsky.social•85 days ago

Believe me, we don’t want to be part of the US. Canada wants friendship, and we had that. We’d be happy to return to that if not for the orange strongman occupying the White House. The world can see who the aggressor is.

jme-lyn.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thank you for still wanting friendship :)

abuamirah1020.bsky.social•85 days ago

That's what the fuck I'm talking about. I mean those countries don't have skhool shootings, obesity, fucked up educational systems, religious insanity, medical bankruptcies and the rest of Murikan fuckery.

paganforge.bsky.social•85 days ago

We're good.

calizaybak.bsky.social•85 days ago

Americans are taxed the same if you count stuff like this:
