An important thing to remember about Trump is that his political awareness emerged alongside the growth of fringe-right online media. So he just assumes all the shit about Canadian wait times from the Obamacare era was true and still holds.

Why the United States is hated around the world? Trump. And they don’t just hate Trump; all Americans are quickly getting lumped up with him. Makes sense…nearly half of the electorate voted for him.
The other part of this is the insane assumption the 10 provinces of Canada would be fine becoming one state, with 2 senators representing them. Trump can't propose 10 new states, because they would wash the republicans out of power.
The sh;t these people are talking eats up your soul, stains your dignity, gnaws at your identity and corrupts your integrity when you are exposed to it too much.
I grew up w/ these bullshitters, I know what I'm talking about.
It's plain stupidity. He isn't able of any form of sane thinking. He's a "Art of the Deal" one trick pony fluffing up oversimplified statements with the help of Nzi-shit. One shouldn't stop calling his stupidity out AND those who fall for this shit bc it's so f*cking convenient to believe him.
I'm sorry to inform you, but wait times for seeing a doctor in Canada are 1000% real and a current problem. My fiancée was on a five to six year waitlist for a GP before leaving Canada this year
Also, it has been known for decades that as baby boomers aged it would put huge stress on the system. Add COVID and all the respiratory stuff going around now.
She still had free access to healthcare though, right? I’m about to lose my GP to retirement and it worries me a bit but I’ve heard recently that doctors are coming to Canada from the US.
That forms his views on everything. He doesn’t read, doesn’t want complexity or nuance. His understanding of everything is just what he gets through right wing social media posts.
It’s why he nominated RFK Jr, Dr Oz, Jay B, etc for high healthcare positions. To him there are the “experts”.
I’d love to see DC become the 51st state so that crimes that occur there can be prosecuted in a jurisdiction over which he doesn’t have the ability to pardon…
If all of Canada DID become the 51st state, it would be the largest. So it would have the most EVs and House delegation. How would that work out for the GOP?
Canadians would NEVER give up universal health care. Americans are crazy to think they would ever think of it. We don’t need to deal with insurance companies and though it has it odd complaints it’s a way better system. Wanna pay go ahead and leave the country.
Trump doesn't assume stuff. He takes the word of some blog or sycophant and then broadcasts it. When you can lie without fear of consequences, you lie.
It's also a tactic to destabilize whomever or whatever he engages with, setting the terms of discussion and putting them on the defensive. It's a threat that moves the Overton window and can make its targets more amenable to concede on lesser requests that they might have otherwise refused.
There’s a direct correlation of Trump’s political views and his consumption of Breitbart during the Obama years. (Bannon, Stephen Miller were crafting their immigration policies circa 2012 & Bannon met Trump through Dave Bose of Citizen’s United around this time)
Always right there. Out there in the open. Those of us who study and monitor the radical right (me🙋♀️—poli sci/American History) should’ve been louder
