Trump: "We don't need anything from Canada, and yet it costs up $200b in subsidy to keep Canada afloat. So when I say they should be a state, I mean that. I really mean that ... some people don't have the cards."

Well, some would and some won't. I have zero doubt an attempt will be made fairly soon and the end result is the end of the USA as it's currently configured.
Actually that’s not a good analogy. There were Austrians who supported Hitler. Canada is united against Trump, and they would fight an invasion like the Ukranians are fighting Putin.
I am guessing then he will be thrilled when Canada pulls it's trade and makes deals with other countries. That will be a relief and the US will save $200billion a year. Or will he scream like a fucking toddler and say Canada screwed them over??? hmmm
1. He dons a surgical glove.
2. He sticks his entire hand up his ass (not that difficult).
3. He roots around for random numbers & words.
4. He pulls them out of his ass.
The best rubber glove…some people don’t know this, but it’s such a great *accordion hands*..look, rubber comes from rubber tree plants-which we grow in beautiful Florida-not the sythntesizered, gmo-that gender modification is bad stuff…
For now. America, apparently, has enough raw earth minerals and various ores so we'll sell them elsewhere and the USA can go on with whatever (waves hands) that is all about.
I want to know who whispered that phrase in his ear. Never heard him utter it before the Zelensky meeting now everything is "you don't have the cards". Wasn't aware this was a zero sum game.
Canada is blocking American's access to Alaska. The United States has a trade deficit with Canada. The United States gets more products, gas and oil from Canada than any other country. https://youtu.be/ypRmlHsgCEQ?si=XpjGs0cyQa37hMDS
He's gonna see Canada DOES have the cards. He sees everything as a strategy game. Let's make some unexpected moves that throw his strategy out the window.
American war heroes being besmirched, Americans being sent to concentration camps in El Salvador, tens of thousands of Americans losing their jobs; and 2/3 of Americans stand, with their thumbs up their asses, wringing their hands, crying "who's going to save us?"
This! Why isn’t anyone in the streets, Jan6 from the other side (w/o the violence of course), people saying „no“. Why is everyone so fckn afraid and subservient?!
We're not a tiny country where millions of us can converge on one area. We are protesting ALL OVER. You don't see it because the corporate media won't report it. They WANTED Yam Tits to get elected. They wanted 4 years of gazillions in profit. It's disgusting.
We were talking about this very thing. Our country is so large we couldn’t fit in DC at one time. We have to go in waves & set up time slots. I call Noon to 2 pm!
It really would be nice if the media could tear themselves away from trump’s DC circus. We are fighting back.
We are in the streets and at the city halls. Every week, even in towns with only 20k people.
The mainstream media isnt covering it though...
And, it doesn't do anything or change anybody's mind anyway.
He thinks a trade deficit is a subsidy and a tariffs is paid by the country shipping the goods and no amount evidence will persuade him otherwise because he's mentally ill, senile and so fucking dense that light bends around him.
Anyone notice how Trump is fixated on cards these days? Like, someone said something about cards to him a few weeks ago, and now he contextualizes everything from that perspective, because his brain barely functions anymore.
That is a thing stupid deranged assholes do, though. I once told a guy commenting vitriol on a friend's FB page to "get fucked", went to his Twitter and he'd posted tweets with some variation of "get fucked" about 45 times in a row following our altercation. Unhinged shit. Trump fits the profile.
I’m pretty sure it comes with the narcissistic personality disorder though I’ve never seen it detailed as such
I think it’s part of constructing a “I’m human with feelings” mask. They don’t relate to others and see them as objects so they grab onto to things -I’ve noticed especially things that
have a sort of emotional component- and then repeat
I heard it during that horrible thing with Zelensky
“You can’t tell us how to feel” straight out of a an abused women’s mouth (to him). And he’s never forgotten to use it. 🤷♀️
Well, he never had very good cover. It's been obvious for years to anyone with even half a brain who listened to him speak for even 5 minutes that he's an ignorant nut job.
Go ahead, Donnie no nuts. Make a move. I fucking dare you. You think we'll go quietly, surrender without a fight, and just let you pillage our great nation? Think again!
Trump believes USA subsidizes everything. He doesn’t seem to know what the word means. He probably believes all trade is subsidies. Hong Kong and Brazil should start pressuring Trump about them subsidizing USA.
It is time to find out who did his College exams for him. I think Mary Trump might know. He’s an economic idiot. He lies and steals. GOP should be ashamed of themselves. They’ve learned the Art of the Lie.
Lies, lies, lies…the US don’t subsidize a single token to Canada. They buy our goods that they don’t ever need. Do you understand this? Icebreakers? We didn’t ask for any icebreakers from the States. We are building OUR OWN in OUR shipyards.The only moment this moron doesn’t lie is when he shuts up.
To paraphrase from 9 years ago, Canada lays down a royal flush. Trump looks at own cards: Mr Bun the Baker, Pikachu, a Shadowmage, a fireball spell, and the Fool
Trump has a great imagination; in other words, he lies. From the time he rises until the time he goes to sleep, he lies. No matter who he's talking to or about, he lies. No matter what he's talking about, he lies. Whatever he says he'll do, he lies. He knows nothing about Canada, so, again he lies.
His casino bankruptcy lives rent free in his empty head thus, he always references “cards” when talking 💩 and degrading people he abhors. He never had the cards back then, and he never will!
Agreed. Ford’s Captain Canada act was a transparent bit is cosplay for his campaign in the provincial election. He’s an admitted tRump fan & bootlicker.
Sorry Canada. WHY does cable & CSpan give him all that free rambling time?
Disturbing that the USA is coming upon 10 years of hourly domestic, emotional, & media abuse from DJT since the golden escalator ride of 6/16/2015.
MEDIA elected this monster twice because of the “access” of lies he offers
Canadian taxes would go down? So would their life expectancy, their health care, their clean air, their water quality, their food quality, their education...what would increase would be homicides, obesity rates, deaths from obesity, diabetes etc etc
Nobody knows what the $200B figure means. The US trade deficit with Canada was about $45B in 2024, which can be attributed to the huge amount of CDN crude that US buys. He’s lying about everything. Annexation is his end game.
Even if true - and I have had a parent with dementia - I am not a medical or mental health professional, and he's not my patient to diagnose.
What he clearly is, however, is rapacious, insatiable, and dangerous.
That "Im not supposed to diagnose a person I haven't met" nicety kept psychiatrists from telling Americans that he was a sociopathic narcissist until it was too late. Let's not repeat the same mistake.
We also have Arctic coastline and the respect of people worldwide. We have universal healthcare, paid parental leave and more than double the minimum wage. The USA cannot afford us.
Quote I heard somewhere “ but I am not playing cards” with a thick Ukrainian accent. Translation: we are fighting for our sovereignty and your ffing talking games. #canadastrong !!! #Ukrainestrong
Once again - DO NOT BUY AMERICAN!! No groceries, no tools, and no gasoline. Find alternatives for tech whenever possible!! If we stop buying American we don't need import tariffs.
At this point Trump only wants to "be right". He wants to appear tough and can't stand people questioning his logic. Stop buying USA and we can drop all tariffs. Then he'll say he got a win but we will continue the boycott for four+ years.
Stupid cards comment again! He said it to Zelensky and now to a entire nation. We aren’t playing cards. Dumb metaphor. Personally I can’t wait till this tariff war with all the US allies really settles in. Then perhaps he’ll see this isn’t about cards, rather it is like playing with fire.
He doesn't understand that Canada is playing hockey. Elbows up means that we're willing to take the penalty for blackening your eye. We aren't sitting at a table and playing some pussy ass card game.
Don't feel obligated to parrot this mans shit brain ideas. We don't care what he thinks. We don't need people with large following spewing his shit into everyone's face. STOP IT. 🛑
Respectfully, AN ELBOWS UP CANADIAN, 🍁
I think Trump is going to learn he isn't a great judge of other player's hands.
Not everyone at the table is as easy a mark as Republican members of congress.
Ukraine & Europe are teaching him this lesson.
Someone tell Grampa Golf that foreign governments and world leaders, like Canada & Vladimir Zelenskyy are not in his reality show. It’s not a “card” game with a reality show host. It’s not “Let’s Make a Deal” with a mobster president. It’s real world geopolitics and he’s in way over his head.
This is a call to technology companies in #Canada : you respected Intellectual Property restrictions in place by trade agreements with the US but those agreements have been tossed
Please reverse engineer every tractor, plane, software and electronics owned by US companies and sell it to the world
I think he wants the people of our countries to hate one another to push his agenda further. I certainly understand the anger and feel it too. The sane people of this country don’t support what’s going on and are sorry to our Canadian friends for his actions. He’s a disgrace.
Amazing how they existed for a long time before trumps bullshit threats. And the way its going they will exist long after trump drives us into oblivion!
Has no idea what he’s talking about with this $200bn and journalist, will fact check him no,
And if one does, and gets the usual “failing” response. Will another journalist follow up with the same question no. So he gets away with the dumb answers and maga love him for it.Yet they will pay the price
He just doesn’t get that Europe, the EU and indeed the Commonwealth are larger markets than the US is; and they’re more trustworthy, and we all have more in common (than simply a border; which folk daren’t cross right now, even legally) 💁🏻♀️
He's talking about a war of conquest, occupation, and subjugation of a sovereign, G7, NATO founding member, nation. This is not normal. Is there nobody in the US political world with enough spine to stand up to this insanity?
In a alternate world, watch Canada go ok We'll join but each province becomes a state and we require Universal Health Care. Watch how fast Republican's shit themselves.
Why do you guys keep saying this nonsense? First off, if he tries it, and succeeds (hahaha) we'd be a territory with no rights. Secondly, if you couldn't hold Iraq or Afghanistan, you ain't holding Canada.
He's already decided what he expects us to believe about ourselves and he won't take a rebellion against his demands very well at all. Hence Pete Hegseth as USSecDef.
We should still rebel against his demands about our self-perception.
I personally would have said yes a long time ago but you know how many people are in denial because they have the mindset of "what must not be, cannot be".
A lot of people will deny a ton of evidence because they cannot grasp how insane the MAGAts really are
People have been underestimating the insanity of cults for too long. Scientology was only taken seriously because of South Park. But with MAGA all the warnings got ignored because MAGA got intertwined with Republican party.
They've been using the language of conservatives to make themselves blend in
So is someone letting him watch poker movies lately? Because this obsession with “having the cards” is like when Michael Scott was watching _The Devil Wears Prada_ in thirty minute increments and acting like Miranda Priestly.
Transgender mice, asylum seekers coming from insane asylums, turning on the big tap in California … his grasp on simple concepts is tenuous at best. He is dangerous!
Fact: In 2024, Canadians bought $350B worth of goods from the US, the US bought $412B from Canada. Based on population, each american spent $1.25k on Canadian goods, while each Canadian spent $8.15k on US goods. We are the ones actually subsidizing the US.
Every single Border-town sees this! But all the dumbies in the mid-West and the South have no idea how bad they voted against their own livelihoods!
Anyone who mentions "common sense" as a GOP talking point needs slapped in the face with facts. Because they are wholly against them now!
They were thinking hate, bigotry, and punishment of those they hate. The vast majority of them are hateful bigots who are willing to suffer immensely as long as the people they hate are suffering as well.

Trump bankrupted a casino where the house always wins.
Turns out Trumps not good at cards.
Trump no
Yeah sure
and decorates it with candyfloss...?
I rest my case.
That is why Americans pay more in trade
Fuck this fucking POS.
I can’t believe that the joint chiefs would go along with that
The US is NOT SUBSIDIZING CANADA.
He needs to knock that shit off, we will NOT—EVER—agree to forfeit our sovereignty or be a US state. Hell NO!
And Canada already has 18 icebreakers, the second-largest icebreaker fleet in the world after Russia.
He's looking at Canada like Putin looked at Ukraine.
It’s a multi-step procedure.
1. He dons a surgical glove.
2. He sticks his entire hand up his ass (not that difficult).
3. He roots around for random numbers & words.
4. He pulls them out of his ass.
And that’s how he does it.

A bit like a young child does.

I hope you boycott the shit out of us.
Canadians buy $7500-$8900 in American goods a year on average.
Americans but $2000-$2900 a year.
We have the cards yam tits!

Letting US run bad businesses does NOT equal subsidies to other countries 💁🏻♀️
Isn’t Canada’s fault that the US don’t make enough stuff (at a quality that Canada need it to be) to buy 😜
Ditto the EU.
That they are now shredding regulations further, too?
Hard pass 🤚🏻
Sad, really.
Living on the Best Coast. 🇺🇸
And everyone in the world can see it. Again.
Canada! What a slob
Except its steel, crude oil, refined petroleum, car parts and accessories, wood and paper products, machinery, plastics and agricultural products.
We don’t have to buy American goods. That isn’t a subsidy.
We should still rebel against his demands about our self-perception.

Those are just outright subsidies, right? Not exchange of money for things of equal value.
Trump is one of the biggest idiots on the world stage.
