This is the stupidest thing ever. If he really wants a 51st state then Puerto Rico is right there and wants to gain statehood.
He wants our resources, PR can't help there.
Is it really a "longtime tariff" when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish...
I've never been so viscerally irritated in my life. ELBOWS UP
Lol at there no longer being a border problem. How exactly does this change ANYTHING about guns and fentanyl crossing between Canada and the US? And whatever immigration problems Trump is complaining about would be completely moot if suddenly the entire country are now forced to become US immigrants.
Because in that syphilis riddled brain, the orange-blunder has had the brain-shart concept slip out of the diseased sections and into what passes for a consciousness, that by only having a state line, there is no border, and so he will have solved "the border crisis". This is not a rational human being we're dealing with, it's a geriatric puppet-dictator who very likely has some form of degenerative brain condition.
I like to keep my pension and EI benefits thank you very much.
This broadcasts his insecurities about being clueless how the economy or anything works, and has surrounded himself with yes men idiots that can't even bail him out of this hole he dug himself. A big tell is he is so pissed he is giving them over 4 wks to lift their electricity premium.
As an American I say Canada should just go the "we don't bargain with terrorists" approach and just cut the electric today. Call the bully's bluff.
Sad thing is is Ontario has already taken the surcharge away, because he is going down to DC to get the shake down.
I hope he comes back and just turns the power off.
Ford is loving every minute of his US media tour. I hate that he’s our spokesperson down there though.
I’ll cherish Trump when he’s 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.
Hopefully this afternoon.
Narcissistic abuser tactics, as usual. "I'll be so good to you, babe, the ~~beatings~~ tariffs will stop if you become my ~~wife~~ 51st state."
Canada will be waiting for you fuckers!
I like to remind my fellow Americans who think Canadians are push-overs that the Nazis feared fighting Canadians more than any other Allied force because of how much more relentless they were on the battlefield.
And we've had a few months to think up new ways. Come get it.
Elbows up!
Dear Trump Cabinet members,
The earlier you 25th this guy, the better chance you have of keeping your cronyism going for the foreseeable future.
What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?
EDIT: This site seems to cover a lot of the benefits gained and what protections are in place to limit overreach, but given the current state of affairs I can’t imagine why Congress would reign in the abuse.
No one wants this, this old diapered man needs to go back into the home
What's going on Canada?
