Also, Mr President, you do not SIMPLY stop manufacturing car parts in Canada and suddenly produce them in US!

He should have made it more exciting - Trump could have at least threatened to drop nuclear bombs on all the cites in Canada unless they did what they had agreed to do with Joe Biden. Trump has no balls !!!

davysgirl66.bsky.social•20 days ago

I love Trudeau.

mattvt.bsky.social•20 days ago

there was a 'scheduled market collapse' on Feb3. the collapse happened on schedule. the cause of the collapse was rescinded. the market recovered. people who knew exactly when such things were going to happen could make a of money on these events. isn't that the most likely explanation?

coffeemonstress.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think it’s called the Art of Crashing Financial Markets worldwide.

carpecakem.bsky.social•20 days ago

No doubt Trump made money on the market today. Probably his motive all along and probably won’t be the last time it happens.

knotamagat.bsky.social•20 days ago

Does that mean American liquor is back on Canadian shelves? I suspect if the bottles are back on the shelves there would be little inventory movement…the damage has been done.

rhondastew.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yup, our population is determined to avoid American products, even if they're back on the shelves. That might change over time, but for now the country's more united than it's been in decades.

knotamagat.bsky.social•20 days ago

I don’t blame you. The bully needs to be taught a lesson but I don’t think he is bright enough or is thin skin enough to get it on his own. I wish you well and am rooting for Canada.

cayora.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well it certainly made people stop talking about his FAA changes that killed 65 people

amandaarrick.bsky.social•20 days ago

He saw the market losing and realized it wasn't going to look good for him. He thinks the market is an indicator of how well he is doing.

theeedge.bsky.social•20 days ago

More like Art of the Non-Deal. It was all a facade to manipulate the stock market as well as create a distraction to the fact that Musk has essentially taken over the Treasurey.

zinfangal.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trudeau placates Trump by giving him some theater about the border — giving Trump an opportunity to save his criminal fat face by giving him a parachute to ride on

susanbehrens.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trump must have been shoved into his locker a lot in school.

clevernickname23.bsky.social•20 days ago

Bunker boy backed down.

chandranatha.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canada should still retaliate to make certain trumpus gets the message.

jinxjack.bsky.social•20 days ago

Totally predictable 🙄

cheetotrumpcat.bsky.social•20 days ago

“In 30 days or so” I guess is the new “in two weeks” timeframe he throws out

mariejo1965.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Moron is visible from Mars now …
we are waiting next actions to see if he can beat his own record

dhappy2b.bsky.social•19 days ago

US big tech is officially a global security threat; these mammoth financial vacuums block responsible home grown alternatives. Starting today boycott X and Facebook (hopefully that’s why you’re here). Then boycott Amazon, Apple and Google to send Trump a message by choosing a local tech start up!

He is playing with Canada n Mexico. It ain’t over until it’s over …what’s next??

cats-n-apples.bsky.social•20 days ago

what a wimp First backed down to Mexico, now to Canada. Bet Panama is kicking his butt next

paradicelost.bsky.social•20 days ago

So what was the point of all this?

elsie57.bsky.social•20 days ago

To distract while Musk took control of the treasury

617to416.bsky.social•20 days ago

Give us time to finalize a deal to sell all our oil to China in the future.

agbi.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes, yes, yes

perpelxity.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trump threats, people call his bluff, trump collapses faster than a Dollar Tree lawn chair.

Trump and his corporate criminal friends are running a pump and dump stock swindle.

trumpshair.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canadians won’t purchase any American goods or vacation in the U.S. moving forward. Trump loses…..biggly!

45gaf.bsky.social•20 days ago

I like how you can see the finger painted makeup smeared on his face. They are all afraid to tell him he looks like a drunk drag queen.

climaterefugee2025.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trump will claim victory, and his legions of blind followers will swallow the Fox News analysis that he is a master statesman.

Did he? Or is it market manipulation?

rocketdog3.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trudeau agrees to do something that Trudeau already agreed to do last December. Yeah, trump folded but MAGA will think he won.

abracadabrainhere.bsky.social•20 days ago

Let's count how many times he threatens to impose again.

sharbri.bsky.social•20 days ago

It was all a distraction… that’s why.

shannonbell.bsky.social•20 days ago

No he didn’t. He distracted people while his goons invaded the UST and seized assets. It was a win.

agbi.bsky.social•20 days ago

💯

tedit.bsky.social•20 days ago

exactly! create distraction. chaos. and a pause means he will bring it forward again.

roam-town-girl.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hooray for Trudeau!

Fuck Trump.

pmb50.bsky.social•20 days ago

If the tariffs are desperately needed to stop fentanyl from entering our country why pause the tariffs for 30 days. Also trump needlessly tanked to stock market today for no reason

grandmabarbara.bsky.social•20 days ago

lol

dianthus56.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canada will not forget or forgive 🇨🇦🍁

dianthus56.bsky.social•20 days ago

Are we suppose to be grateful? #hitler2.0

speckonblue.bsky.social•19 days ago

Canada should prepare for an economic and possibly a hot war.
People keep shitting on Chamberlain but he used the time between Munich and the start of the war to rearm.
Start rearming and look for alternatives to the US imports/exports.

mikegdagri.bsky.social•20 days ago

No, 🇨🇦 🍁 let them sweat🥵🥵 🇺🇸

speckonblue.bsky.social•19 days ago

Nobody folded and nothing is resolved.
Trump is claiming a huge "win" and, because he owns the media, it will be remembered as his "win".

marksquared.bsky.social•20 days ago

Until next month...

kurtshriner.bsky.social•20 days ago

All of Trumps supporters will say this was a masterful gambit.

ricosuavejd.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yep. Trudeau gave Trump something they were already doing anyway, just like Mexico.

It's wild.

Just don’t tell Trump 😜

linwetzel.bsky.social•20 days ago

LOOK OVER HERE, NOT OVER AT THE TREASURY WHERE MUSK IS STEALING ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, ANALYZING IT BY INCOMES, AND MAKING COPIES OF IT TO SELL ON THE BLACK MARKET.
