I am so very sorry that trump's threats have gotten us to where we are. I cannot speak for MAGA but most 🇺🇸 greatly appreciate our allies including Canada. Non MAGA 🇺🇸 will try to address trump's inappropriate remarks. Until then we understand.
Sadly,
an insignificant 🇺🇸 citizen
Trump is intimidated by her and he’ll be an even bigger global embarrassment.
Don’t tell me how to feel.

I WANT the US under Trump to feel it.
I WANT every single Trump voter to be fucked.
They brought this upon the country and I really want them to be destroyed in every way possible.
Trump Inaugural Song
🎵MAGA it’s cold outside
Billionaires this way
MAGA it’s cold outside
Poor go away
MAGA its cold outside
This evening will be hoping they’ll see
Democrats aren’t nice
We’ll take out, put’em ice
MAGA it’s cold outside🎵
Won’t they welcome the invader ?
He is a bully.
He has and is still Destroying America.
We need to fight for our country.
So there.
Watch that economy flourish with irrational tariffs! The econ wizard-
but one cannot scam the economy itself!

Then, when asked about it, she SMIRKED.
Good luck America
Surely we can't stand hopelessly by and watch her destroy Canada?
That's the way to treat Trump, never back down from that idiot.
Just wait for the crash when USA cannot sell bonds any more.
MAGA has no idea why this is scary.
The last four words are redundant... 😏

I may not want her to run for PM (Hillary/Kamala effect just plays into the alt right sweet spot of male grievance) but she is an effing pit bull with any file she is handed. Maybe, if the alt right go back under their rocks, it will be her time, but I fear it won’t be soon
It's a Democratic State. It's punishing them for him, doing him a favor.
How we respond is crucial.
Don’t bend the knee - punch back, hard.
It’s the only language bullies understand.
Until then, we're being run by a Putin Simp who thinks he's on a reality tv show.. Canadians Pushing back will speed up 🇺🇸 pulling our heads out of our ass, and slow his further ambitions.
Or do Canadians neither understand thr limits an American president has or how Trump is just running his mouth like a child?
He's nothing, quit acting like he has the will and power to destroy Canada. 🙄
He's an embarrassment, not a threat.
A 1-2 of Carney and Freeland is going to ruin him.
Hard to imagine they never had a clue but spent all their time mouthing off. Lindsey threatened to crush Canada when Canada said it would respect the Netanyahu arrest warrant. Stupidity reigns supreme
I personally am watching for made in US on purchases. I’ll always choose another.
Very sad that our neighbour’s Government has turned on us.
I’d rather not
I included a bunch of additional links in this Bluesky thread not included in the original article.
For those who say she has no authority to make these pronouncements: they are intended for a domestic audience, to frame her as someone who is prepared to push back at the US, with the hope of boosting her leadership bid.
Create negative energy and inequality, create riots, punish, control.
Times change, people do not🤷♂️.
🤮
Vote for racist con men, win stupid prizes. Enjoy your cheese, Wisconsin, you've earned it.
Wisconsin would fucking sink if it weren't for its blue counties. We're getting a front row seat.
He is the best choice because:
1. He is seen as an outsider, not connected to the Trudeau government.
3. He has amazing plans for Canada. Read his book 'Value's".
4. His experience as BoC and BoE governor shows that he knows how to manage economies.
Basically, he is useless.
Freeland is the wrong choice for many reasons, gender is not one of them. The reasons are:
2. She made a mistake in throwing her leader and party under the bus in December.
3. She does not communicate well.
Trudeau crashing is his fault not hers and he was despicable in doing that to her.
Now, we have the opportunity to have a Liberal leader in Mark Carney who blows her economic experience and education out of the water.
I hope Canadian voters don't blow it.
Canada should not bend to the Mad Mango. I don't blame them, either.
TAKE A PAGE FROM THIS PLAYBOOK.
We can fight back.
You have some Americans on your side who will help!
As an American I stand with Canada.
Oil tax authorization bill occurred in house.
Senate next.
Raises oil tax on consumption by $0.50 probably more.
GOP hiding details from public.
Fill up tank minimum $5.00 more upon President Elmo signature.
If trump and his MAGA fascists threaten us, fight back. He's a bonespurs coward who kisses Putin's ass and who ran away from a second debate with Kamala after she spanked him. He'll run from any fight.
I'm stickin' around for that!!
Do it. Fuck us up. Wake my countrymen the hell up, please.
Americans need to understand Freeland isn’t nice.
I love her for that
