US to Canada: Bend over.

Canada: No.

US: You'll enjoy it.

Canada: Are you serious?

US: You're unreasonable.

Canada: You're creepy and weird.

US: Well then I'll rob my family under the guise of robbing you and you'll have to watch them cry. What do you think about that?!

Canada: ... ~leaves the room~

US, to family: This is all Canada's fault. Bend over.

Well put. I don’t think I’ll be able to take enough showers to feel clean ever again.

I'm so glad my grocery store started getting oranges from South Africa instead of Florida now.

No one said he was smart. His toolbox only contains one hammer, and someone put the head on the wrong end.

Both nations accused the other of scuttling the deal, with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney citing “last-minute changes” by the Trump administration and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer pointing to “new demands and walk backs” by the Canadians.

We all know who the bad faith actors are here.

Trumps "art of the deal" is to get people to the table with false pretence and then take a giant shit on the preliminary agreement and tell everyone to smell it.

I'd say we just stop shipping potash south.

Is it really war if US courts once again declare Trump’s tariffs are null and void?
