This American is rooting for Canada.
God speed. Hopefully if/when you can wrest control back your country can do something to bring sanity back to American politics, since it’s just bad for everyone.
Short of 2 decades and doubling the education budget, not sure what your options are though; going to be hard to undo all the international and reputational harm that’ll come out of it, even with the promise of 4-8 years of at least not outright malicious policy.
It’s sort of funny - Seeing the rise of the Buy Canadian or Buy from EU groups/movements/knowledge sharing as a U.S. citizen and thinking “Shit, can I buy from them, too?”
Equal parts recognizing that buying American made usually means you’re just buying something assembled from components produced elsewhere and that standards here are not as good. (And getting worse all the time, now that the pro-corporate writing is on the wall.)
Melania’s thrilled that she’s got another handsome Canadian to thirst over.
The funny thing is that if Trump starts attacking him, it will have the opposite effect in Canada and will win him votes. I wonder if Trump is too braindead to realize that. We’ll see tomorrow.
I trust him to guide the country in the proper direction. Canada is ridiculously, stupidly underestimated.
I wonder if he’s got a plan for how Trump can lose but save face….
It doesn’t matter if Trump loses. Trump will lie about the outcome and the cult will lap it up.
Guess that depends on your perspective; as a Canadian I have a vested interest in Trump losing. But Trump has a vested interest in being Trump, which includes never admitting defeat. I’d prefer his response not be “Oh yeah? Well I’ve nuked Toronto. Take that!”
Why would we want to let him save face? Let the US collapse and let the world know he did it.
I love our American brothers and sisters, but that’s exactly why thier “democracy” needs to be burned down. They need to rise from the ashes of this hell.
Because this particular angry geriatric toddler has access to a lot of ways to make people suffer on a large scale and delights in the suffering of people. Sure, making him feel miserable feels great, but how many lives are you willing to sacrifice for it?
He’s going to do it anyway - haven’t you been paying attention? Trump doesn’t want any concessions. This isn’t an honest deal, it’s a façade.
He’s so selfish and arrogant that catering to his ego will be critical. I think he’d prefer a crummy deal that lets him look good, over a great deal that embarrasses him. He doesn’t care what’s best for the USA long term; he’d rather look good now.
