Trudeau's comments aren't exactly Earth-shattering revelations. By now, everybody with half a working brain should have learned that when Trump says something, you should believe him. Unlike the magats', Trudeau's brain is in working order.

when Trump ~~says something~~ states his intentions, you should believe him. When he states a matter of fact you should definitely not believe him.

FTFY

No. When Trump says something, you should believe that he might be delusional enough to believe it.

Trump is official the president... Don't be stupid. Federal government will do what he says by the time he is stopped, we will be balls deep in shit.

Never under estimate your opponent, thats how we got here.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

What federal government? He keeps firing everyone.

He's crippling it so they can't stop him when he decides to take illegal action.

[-] Dearche@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean, nothing's stopped him from taking illegal actions. Quite a few of his edicts are completely illegal and enforced illegally as well.

Hell, some go directly against their constitution but are being enacted even faster than the judges can do anything about it.

He'll still have a huge military run by loyal fascists.

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 8 points 14 hours ago

No. When Trump says something, about anything at all, whether it's the truth, or a lie, a group of somebody's somewhere, completely unrelated by tied inexorably to the fallout from it, is about to die.

People are more stupid than you think. I brought up this exact topic on another platform (that the USA wants Canada for its resources include fresh water), and many US responders laughed like it was the stupidest thing I could have concocted. I explained that I didn't come up with it it has been an ongoing thing since the 60s where US wanted a trench from Canada to the USA as a water feed, etc. People already believed their own conclusion and citing sources didn't change their mind on Trumps ulterior motive.

It has been a concern for a long time that as drought bites in the USA and the Arctic becomes a strategic waterway, the USA will want what Canada has in its lakes, its coasts, its farmable land and its other natural resources. It's just that Trump is accelerating the process, trying to get it done before Canada has a chance to prepare any resistance, and before many Canadians twig what's going on. I'm quite sure he's serious, and quite sure he isn't the only one.

Meanwhile Canadians are about to elect the most incompetent PM ever, whose only goal is to look tough and bigoted while screwing the little people, like Trump.
