I think Carney has been a pretty good template for dealing with Trump.
I think Starmer needs to be a bit tougher another time - although I wouldn’t really advise him to go again. He did push back on the suggestion the UK doesn’t have free speech, and needs to channel that moment, not the toadying.
He was obviously both nervous and not being himself. He didn’t believe in what he was saying and it showed.
He’s much better when he’s being sincere - not unusual I guess!
I think he’s trying to hard to please everyone and pleasing no one as a result. He needs to show integrity- people respect that.
PM Carney’s visit was a Master Class in Canadian Slap Back drenched in politeness and serve with a twinkle in his eye.
His wit, charm and execution was tailored to perfection. Bravo!

Meanwhile here in the United States, normal Americans were Cheering for the Prime Minister and cringing with embarrassment to have a “president” that DOESN’T KNOW HE NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION. It’s really embarrassing to have a country lead by a pack of 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I just hate it when Trump doesn’t know shit about the country that he’s supposed to be president of. Why do you think Canada is an ally? It’s not proximity honey.
I can’t speak for my state, but my kids are half-Canadian, and I would personally like very much to join. Unfortunately it’s their mom who is the Canadian half, so…not a lot of options there.
We already celebrate thanksgiving in October, give me a chance! 🤣
I think many are fighting and will continue. We can hope that free elections will still be held in 2026 and the Congress will seize back its right powers and responsibilities.
Whatever helps you feel tough. I wouldn't make assumptions about what someone is or isn't doing, or what that individual's motivations might be, but hey, that's just me. I'm also sure you don't care to find out, and I know I don't care to type it out. Sleep well. 👍
I just wish when Carney was at the "Canada is not for sale" part, he had looked directly at Trump. Instead, he looked away with eyes cast down. I was disappointed. Still, he did say it out loud. Grateful for that.
Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell you reps and resist by telling your reps in DC what you think about tariffs and Canada relations. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.co
He’s never needed to know anything. He was born with a golden dildo in his mouth. Literally didn’t even need to try in fucking school and was just rammed through to get a degree
The dude, is known, as the dumbest student his teachers ever had
More of this. Anyone in a room with Trump needs to not only be careful about what they say, but how they say it and when for maximum effectiveness. Give him no sound bites.
How did he think the 'S' in 'BRICS' stood for 'Spain'?
The man is genuinely stupid. I know we say it often, but I don't think we ever quite believe it so it's always shocking when he proves it. It doesn't make sense. 'Him? President? And THAT stupid?'
He knows. It's all intentional, and is usually never challenged. Macron and Carney are the two that have _dared_ challenge him. NO ONE ever challenges him!
Actually Zelensky challenged him. It was a feeding frenzy but he still did it. ❤️
Carney’s diplomacy and tact! Nothing I would have said or done in that situation would have been “respectful.” I can’t imagine sitting there having to listen to him prattle on like a 5 year old when you’re as intelligent as Carney is.
Trump said we don’t care about selling US products elsewhere 🤪
There’s no logic, but tariffs, when used strategically can help US industries & tweak the trade “imbalance” by opening up markets for US products.
It’s not a “subsidy.
Seems it’s really about collecting TAXes to reduce taxes on MEGA RICH
Can you imagine the ranting about Carney that trump did behind the scenes? How dare he correct me? How dare he disrespect me? How dare he not bow to me? Vance-did he say thank you?
That sorry bastard doesn't know ANYTHING, he is a stupid useless piece of meat. He doesn't even have two brain cells to rub together. God damnit I hate this fucking life MAGA has fed me.
Respectfully! That fat fuk deserves zero respect.
It irks me that everyone has to tiptoe around that moron to avoid his tantrums, because he is no leader just a very spoiled toddler that happens to have been given charge of the biggest military on the 🌎!
And that pisses me off monumentally : they were complaining about the prices under Biden the whole time - with trump now they suddenly don‘t care about the fact that everything‘s more expensive, that doesn‘t matter anymore, because they’re happy about their neighbours being deported to oblivion!
Barely over 100 days in & already I'm like one of those old timers. "Remember when we had a smart, good-willed President who surrounded himself with smart, good-willed people? Ah, those were the good ol' days."
I agree. However I have to let other people do it. I would be too rude and then kick JD Vance’s ass because whooping an old man with untreated late stage syphilis is really really rude.
Lies come so naturally to Trump that he doubles down on lies & is convinced it’s the truth. To do otherwise would show him for the idiot he is. Most of the time he has no idea and is making it up as he goes.
trump is such an embarrassment to us all. "Poorly educated' that love him maybe just don't know. His educated oligarchs are just greedy. They use him but they may be sorry they did when the economy that made them rich collapses because he's TRULY & DELIBERATELY IGNORANT & STUPID. #trumpsALOSER.
It must be agony having to talk to #TrumpTheRapistInTheWH and constantly hear him say things that are demonstrably false - and moronic.
#PMMarkCarney must have been so fed up with #TrumpTheFelon
Trump doesn’t like being called a liar to his face, but that is ok. He needs to be called out, publicly, on his lies. He also lies about being able to sign his “trade deals” on his own. No, he needs approval from Congress, but Trump knows this, he just doesn’t like it, so he lies.
We're not in pain though. It backfired. As much as we support our democracy loving neighbours in the US, we HATE a bully and are acting accordingly. All the people I know have deleted their Prime/Netflix accounts and are not buying US anything anymore. And we're saving all that money now. #democracy
Make that Speak Truth to Imbeciles. The idiot on the right has NO idea how trade works and who are friends are. Trade with Russia? Value of goods imported from Russia by the U.S. decreased by 34.2% compared to 2023, reaching $3.0 billion. One can only drink so much Stolichnaya, even me.
I can’t believe MAGA doesn’t see Trump surrounds himself with opulence and associates with the richest people on earth. Then, Trump lies to them 24/7. All of the cuts he is making hurt the American people. The tariffs are the largest tax increase in American history. Trump hates MAGA, too!
Haven't you seen those evangelical pastors? They surround themselves with riches and fleeces their congregation with calls for more $ because they need a new private jet, how else will they spread the word? Amerikkka is conditioned to this.
That’s true. I never understood why people sent their money to televangelists who live an extravagant lifestyle. They have the nerve to say God is good and they have been “blessed.” No, they are conning poor people who can’t afford to give money away. Tithe ten percent. You will be blessed ten fold.
I’m sitting here thinking about the baby formula shortage in 2021. It came about because our primary producer in the U.S. had bacterial contamination throughout the plant, and trump had previously banned imports of formula in his USMCA trade agreement. Biden had to have plane loads of formula…
Rushed in from Canada to ease the shortage, obviously at much higher expense, because trump had ended NAFTA, and made a deal to favor American manufacturers while babies went hungry.
Do you want Trump to be more Canadian? Can we just fix the trade deficit he's so worried about by assigning him a high dollar value and exporting him to Canada? Cuz I'm on board. Just make a replica Alcatraz and put him in there and forget about it.
Trump is a coward. One on one,he is always amiable. He only confronts behind a podium,surrounded by SS; he fires by tweet, or lets a minion do his dirty work. Bullies are cowards.
He knows the truth, and is simply lying to get what he wants, and punish someone, or a country in this instance. He knows exactly what's going on with the exception of how tariffs actually work
I don't think he understood that not only would other countries resist his tariffs, but that they'd retaliate. He seemed genuinely surprised that other countries didn't simply cave to him.
He's not used to any fight, I mean look at either US political parties. He's stuck thinking this is post war America when we technically were the only manufacturing base in the world because every one else was a smoking ruin.
Donald Trump is so friggin stupid because Steve Miller gives him all this information for why and deception remember Steven Miller the dickhead is at work. Stephen Miller love pain and suffering Stephen Miller loves torture. Stephen Miller is a piece of shit.
I love the use of "respectfully" when correcting Trump. In #TheResidence it's a hilarious, and timely, running gag on their fictitious #POTUS - if you're looking for the laughs without the real world anxiety.
In 2024 Canada purchased FAR more per capita from the U.S. than the U.S. purchased from Canada. Canada, pop. 40 million, purchased $8,750 per capita. U.S., pop. 340 million, purchased $1,214 per capita in comparison. Does DT even know the population of Canada?
Confrontation will only provide short lived satisfaction with the Tangerine Twatwaddle. Carney gave him just enough stroking to allow him to say what he wanted.
Take the high road, show you're capable of being respectful but you will not tolerate lies and misinformation.
He did well, better than most people. Someone finally corrected him, on camera, in front of the world while still upholding an air of politeness and humor.
Every single time and always, if I got something to say, I'm gonna say it to your face. I'm not gonna stab you in the back. Every single time and always, you got something to say to me, say it to my face, not behind my back. I'd take being stabbed in the face over stabbed in the back anyday!!🤨
Canada exports more goods to the US than the US does to Canada.
To Trump, this means Canada is “ripping off” the US. …. There’s a deficit of $36 billion and he doesn’t like it.
Trumps insane. Literally deranged. He cannot comprehend reality from lies. I wondered for years if he was just a pathological liar or a moron or both. I firmly believe now he's a mad man. I have no doubt.
Trump is a dumber than a bag of dog shit and locked in an echo chamber with the most dimwitted fucks on the planet.
Trump doesn’t know what groceries are, thinks you can cure Covid by drinking bleach, can end hurricanes with a nuclear missile and put out forest fires with a rake.
Perhaps past tense? The "buy from anywhere except the US" movement is in full swing up here in Canada. I was shopping yesterday, and one product I needed the options were Made in USA or Made in China. I went for PRC.
These "leaders"... Even if you were not in power his first go, you have to know what he is about. Push back on his lies, correct him to his face, put him in his place.
If people don't believe how much trade we do with Canada. Come to the Detroit area and see for yourself the semi's going back and forth every day across the Ambassador bridge. The backup on I75 spans for miles. Soon, the new Gordie Howe bridge will open as well.
There’s nothing but shit inside that dumb orange fuckwit. He’s a rapist and we’re sure being fucked!!! I wish I could get close enough to stick a knitting needle in his ear!!!
The American Society of Prevention Against Cruelty to Knitting Needles (ASPAKN) will be contacting you shortly. Do not attempt to leave the country. They take this very seriously.

You don’t need to be Canadian to be good
I mean - it helps, but it’s not a requirement 😊
We could do a immigration swap too
Our Conservatives for their Liberals
We already celebrate thanksgiving in October, give me a chance! 🤣
truth is very fluid to him depending on what he wants that day
His face after he was told Canada was their largest client, though.
Priceless.
Don the Con's prejustice stops any and all information to get through.
The dude, is known, as the dumbest student his teachers ever had
He knows literally nothing
I desperately wanna see that shit

And Canada has way more allies in its disputes with the USA than America has.
America will lose its preeminence, and once it's gone it ain't comin' back.
Both Ryans, Reynolds and Gosling, use it.
It’s kinda refreshing to see a world leader model good behavior while not conceding a centimeter.
FTFY :(

He’s a compulsive liar poster child.
Dude doesn't actually know what the fuck is going on.
Mark Carney gave him actual information right there he's likely never heard before.....
#PMMarkCarney must have been so fed up with #TrumpTheFelon
“ Mr president we all know certain places are not for sale, like the WH”. ;).
“No, that’s a lie, Mr Trump”
He even wore the uniform to Pope Francis’s funeral!!
He & Vance wear suit jackets unbuttoned— sloppy! Vance guilty at Trump’s first Address to Congress. Embarrassing.
Every one.
is he that stupid
is it dementia
is he being fed the wrong information.
all three.
on the basics of the Job
carney was too nice. he should have said you are wrong.
I’m so envious of Canada right now. 😒🍁🇨🇦
‘Without respect, we WERE your biggest client, but you fucked that up’
Come on, Prime Minister Carney, fuck respecting the freak.
In fact, call him names.
We clean, educated, continuous Americans, the ones responsible for 80% of this nation’s GDP, won’t mind.
You should hear what we call our rapist king.
Nobody has more experience behaving like a complete fucking embarrassment than our rapist king.
He did well, better than most people. Someone finally corrected him, on camera, in front of the world while still upholding an air of politeness and humor.
But Prime Minister Carney kicking king stinky square in the balls, works too…
Respectfully....
Transformative....
Said with irony, and not the Alanis Morissette kind....
I get it now…
To Trump, this means Canada is “ripping off” the US. …. There’s a deficit of $36 billion and he doesn’t like it.
Trump doesn’t know what groceries are, thinks you can cure Covid by drinking bleach, can end hurricanes with a nuclear missile and put out forest fires with a rake.
They would bolt until the carriage carrying the carrion was smashed all of the road and the horses gone in the wind
Good parade!! 🍿🍿🎉
