So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??

Wow

Russia's objective isn't tariffs -- it's to splinter/decouple international coordination and cooperation amongst western nations.

So, yeah. The faster Trump can accelerate that, the happier his boss'll be.

Like the buy[local] type campaigns are most likely getting a bit of a bump from Russian propaganda agents -- even if they are 'real' sentiments to some extent too.

What’s that flushing sound I hear? Oh, it’s just the US economy.

80-year-old angsty teen... how can anyone take this man child seriously?

We don't want to be the 51st state. The idea repulses us, actually.

Elbows up, guys!

No one wants to be america. People want to be human beings that are able live as human beings. People don't want to be pawns to a machine that sucks humanity and souls from living bodies.

I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the QuΓ©bec-Windsor corridor.

I think Ontario has already paused the Export tax unfortunately. But I would absolutely call his bluff. An attack on Canada would mean a full-blown article 5 crisis before Trump has all of the cards that he wants. While he might be that stupid. Others in his administration aren't.

Just in case, a good show from Carney would be to deploy the military to the area because of an increased threat of terrorism.

Trump is desperate to be a part of Canada, huh?

[–] Slayan 18 points 1 day ago

Someone else said musk is prob forcing him to do it because he want to be the next president. Since he has canadian nationality he'll be able to gun for president.

Kinda crazy guess, but they are crazy so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world -1 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

It's just an old person yelling at his tv (phone).

There is no weight behind it, even if he is the President. His job is to sign here and smile for the cameras. Nothing more. He doesn't make policy or have original thoughts, he just signs it.

I’ll cherish Trump when he’s 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.

Hopefully this afternoon.

Is it really a "longtime tariff" when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish...

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

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.

This is the stupidest thing ever. If he really wants a 51st state then Puerto Rico is right there and wants to gain statehood.

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!
