The thing that's been so aggravating about Trump -- has been visible, in fact, since a year into his first term -- is that he's a paper tiger. Appease him and he'll try to take everything from you. Punch him in the face, and he folds, because he fundamentally only respects strength

Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.
I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Not at all. He's a bully. At their core, bullies are cowards.
Punch back, and they cry and take their ball home.
Fear is not respect.
He doesn't respect it.
He fears it.
There's a radical and very discernable difference between respect and fear.
they often need a punch in the face to stop their bullshit
eg, look at what happens when he is sued or charged; he fights and fights and fights
That people refuse to see this obvious thing suggests they *want* to do the things he demands and this just gives them “cover.”
(Are you listening, Chuck Schumer?)
He constantly says the most dramatic annoying insulting shit while everyone else stoically contemplates the most thoughtful possible response
trump knows US economy/people gives him strength w/tariffs, but the delusion to think we're gonna support that... oh boy
And he stopped that pretty quick while still going on about Canada
I legit wonder what was up with that.
if yes, the opposition party has been dealing with him exactly wrong
"Why should I respect someone if I can kick their ass."
Trump has a glass jaw.🛑
