How can anyone listen to this idiot speak and sit there and nod like "uh huh yup that makes sense totally doesn't sound like a 5 year old talking out his ass making everything up as he goes"
The issue is larger than a single incompetent clown.
He was elected twice, with the support of the republican party and many big donnors. What prevents another narcisist, corrupt, incompetent clown from being elected?
Those Canadians are the british that stayed. that is how immigration works.
They still share the same British king who has recently addressed the US directly on the matter of Canada, you dolt.
you probably look at canadian coins and think they are fictional characters for how stupid you sound.
The US invaded Canada with the goal of conquering it. They failed at that. The debate id whether or not the US failed all their goals, such as their genocidal campaign against the Iroquois. The US won many objectives. But failed to conquer Canada. Facts.
1: Canada didn't exist yet so yes it was against the British technically. The main British army was really too involved with Napoleon to get much involved though in the war. The main fighting force was with local militias and indigenous peoples led by British officers. The war was really tit for tat until the British brought their Napoleonic Vets over and started raiding the east coast of the US.
2 & 3 : If the aggressor in a war doesn't win and the defender didn't loose any territory it really sounds like the defending country won.
Corporate owners (the oligarch class) who fund and therefore own the Rs and establishment Ds destroyed it. It's why swapping between Rs and Ds, or swapping individual Rs and Ds within the parties hasn't produced a measurable halt in the decline.
I'm excluding the recent progressive insurgency, we're yet to see where it goes and what its effect would be. There's some hope there.
He's following up here on a threat to "will stop trade IF federal reserve doesn't lower interest rates", with "Stopping trade is the best idea ever under any circumstance". What has yet to crystalize into Canadian establishment/military policy is that Trump thinks part of the best idea ever is "Making Canada cease to exist".
Low interest rates back to when we were smart 25-30 years ago
The big problem that 9/11 solved for those who wanted US to go to war with Iraq was $10/bbl oil prices, under Clinton and bush43.

I honestly don’t think his base sees these clips. They don’t make it to Facebook or Fox News and everything else is “fake news”

I hope he does but he's just the rotten face of a very rotten country. I don't expect much will change when he dies

Canada would not exist...
if the US hadn't lost the War of 1812, but you did and we do.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · -20 pts · 9h
The war of 1812 was against the British army.
Historians agree no one actually won anything in 1812.
It was a series of gang squirmishes trying to grab land.
Canadian history education is pathetic.

The Americans will burn it themselves. They almost did it in 2021. Just lie back and watch the train wreck.
