    Until he’s dead, in jail or in a retirement home for senile people I will not dismiss the threat that he represents. He keeps talking about it and started to refer to Canada as “the State of Canada” without realizing how hostile and insulting this comes across as. He’s really thinking he can pull it off and this is scary. This motherfucker is going to use the crippling tariffs as leverage against Canada.

      Using tariffs as a weapon is gonna be so effective. It’s like a mugger pointing the gun at himself and demanding your money.

        That’s a really great analogy. lol “This is going to be really mentally scarring for you, and the stains will never come out of your clothes, you know…”

        The problem is that it is more like being mugged by someone with a claymore mine strapped to his chest and who is dumb enough to believe he won’t get hurt if he detonates it.

        IKR? The real point is he fucking hates Trudeau, and has been saying that openly for years now. This is just another way to needle him.
