The real idiots are the ones that voted for him, twice. Half of the people on this very forum are the real idiots. Trump is actually smart for taking advantage of them.
I want you to think about something for a second. Imagine you are a high school civics or history teacher and you ask your students to come up with what their platform is. Now imagine that they tell you their plan is to annex Canada as the 51st state, to buy Greenland ..... to deport nearly 30 million people, including 15 million workers.... to pass massive tariffs.... to turn against all your allies and align with Russia.... to tell everyone that the invaded country actually invaded... and tinker with eliminating the federal income tax. What would you tell a 15-16 year old high school student? Now - imagine that it is a 77 year old man doing these things with the full support of his political party - while the other party outside of 4-5 people say and do nothing except hold up signs saying they don't agree. Now imagine the most powerful nation in the world is doing this.
He's smart when it comes to grifting and conning folks, but a trainwreck when it comes to thinking logically and acting responsibly.
Actually he's 79 in 3 months. He's approaching the point where he starts aging physically and mentally in dog years.
This is such an overt betrayal to the right wings core economic values. The anger this will cause if it materializes is going to be very interesting to watch. The envisioned payoff for such a catastrophic move against his legacy has to be huge. He’s seemingly trying to direct the anger from this at Canada as a tool to manufacture support for… claiming Canada as a state.
President Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the US and minimal impact here in Canada, while supporting the workers impacted. My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect and make credible, reliable commitments to free and fair trade. I can’t believe we’re now enemies with Canada
Its just shameless lying from the WH. Its so grotesque and disgusting. They're claiming 1+1=5 and his braindead cultists eat it up. Its just sad
House Democrats had planned to force a vote on resolutions to end the tariffs on Mexico and Canada, a move allowed under the National Emergencies Act, which provides a mechanism for Congress to terminate an emergency like the one Mr. Trump declared when he imposed the tariffs on Feb. 1. Alas, the spineless Republicans in Congress Quietly Cede Power to Cancel Trump’s Tariffs, Avoiding a Tough Vote House Republican leaders on Tuesday quietly moved to shield their members from having to vote on whether to end President Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, tucking language into a procedural measure that effectively removed their chamber’s ability to undo the levies. The maneuver was a tacit acknowledgment of how politically toxic the issue had become for their party, and another example of how the all-Republican Congress is ceding its power to the executive branch.
