Oh Canada
Trump is unhappy with Justin Trudeau and he’s gonna make Canada pay.
U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s assertion that Canada “will not be pushed around” will end up costing Canadians “a lot of money.”
Trump was upset because he felt that the G7 meeting was like recess in heaven – everybody was happy and playing nicely.
He also said that Trudeau “probably didn’t know” that there are like 20 tv sets aboard Air Force One. I dunno, I suspect that Trudeau probably knows how tv works and figures someone might tell Trump what he said. Or, you know, record it.
Trump also said this morning that he did not need a recording of his meeting with Kim because … you’re gonna love this.
When asked by a reporter if he had notes to verify details after the meeting in Singapore, Trump said he didn’t need to.
“I don’t have to verify because I have one of the great memories of all time,” Trump said.
Yeah, except about stuff that actually happened.
And yesterday. He has no memory of yesterday. Ever.
Should we actually get in a different with Canada, they win, They know where we are are and 45 would need a compass and a guide dog to find Canada or anywhere else,
1I live 20 miles south of the Canadian border.
The economy of my small city depends greatly on Canadians visiting our small city as with the other towns of the northern most part of NY. And Vermont.
Trump is a buffoon. He is aligning our country with Russia and North Korea.
2Where are the republicans?
My rep, Elise Stefanik (R) is useless. Very vague, comments but no condemnation of Trump
The concept of “verify” is foreign to Spanky “abysmally ignorant” Drumpf. in his life, he verifies nothing, so whether his memory is good, bad, or indifferent is immaterial.
3When Canada boots our ambassador et al. out of the country, the Golden Gibbon is going to be dumbfounded. He won’t understand why. And when Canadians quit visiting the U.S., he won’t understand that either. He will deny saying or doing anything to promote such actions. For this guy World War !! and D-Day never happened with Canada fighting side by side with us. Its also obvious he never heard of the little squeak of town in Canada who hosted the myriad of commercial aircraft diverted after 911 and ended up as a Broadway play called “Come Away Home.” Well, hell, why should he remember anything inasmuch as he is the one, the only whole and entire world. He has yet to figure out how hellishly lonely that can be.
4” He has yet to figure out how hellishly lonely that can be.”
Wait until his so-called “friends” find out that, beneath all the bluster and bragging, he’s poor as a churchmouse and in debt up to his eyeballs. Then he’ll know.
5Also: Trump always thinks he’s done a fantastic job, however abysmally he has actually performed. He always seems astounded, and angry, when people don’t agree with his assessment. He has too much ego and too little brainpower for the job he’s trying to do.
6Wow, 20 TV sets. At today’s prices, that’s close to 4 grand. Assuming they’re all pretty big screen.
7I laugh whenever a TV pundit wonders why there is such personal animosity directed from tRump to Justin. Google Ivanka looking at Justin – and you will figure it out. Daddy is jealous.
8Dump threw our South Korean allies under the bus by declaring that he would end the semi-annual military exercises. It turns out, they had no prior knowledge that this was even on the table and are extremely upset.
9All he had to do was offer easing of sanctions after it was verified that the nukes were gone.
If it turns out that he also agreed to pull our troops out of South Korea, we’ll know he gave away the whole store and there will be hell to pay.
Wingnuts went nuts because Bill Clinton visited the USSR when he was at Oxford. “ZOMG! Manchurian candidate!” they screeched. My how times have changed…
10@maryelle,
We’ll have to wait and see if the Joint Chiefs of Staff go along with pulling troops from SK. Of course the GOP congress will sit on their fingers and say nothing…
11Heard a commentator on MSNBC say that drumpf is playing a very scary game as pertains to our national security. He apparently doesn’t know or care that our intelligence community has deep ties to the ICs of our allies – that they share intelligence with each other. And those ICs may stop communicating with ours. Hopefully there’s trust between individuals that will abate that action. Of course drumpf frequently criticizes our IC since it’s digging up his dirt. Lordy…
12He really is that stupid.
13As Trump learned with his porn liaisons:
Offer to pay in cash
Write up a non-disclosure agreement, but don’t sign it
Get the attorney to pay her for you
Don’t leave a paper trail Donny, even with North Korea. What could go wrong?
14This may be his re-election campaign promise – build a wall on our northern border and make Canada pay for it.
15after it was verified that the nukes were gone.
Maryelle, you (and Trump) and most newspapers have misunderstood.
To Kim, “denuclearization of the peninsula” means
“The US stops defending Japan and S. Korea with the threat of nuclear retaliation, and gets its troops out of Korea”. Kim is eager to pursue that goal, and has offered in the same words to pursue it with several earlier US Presidents.
Kim has not agreed to end the N. Korean nuclear program, nor to limit it, nor to mothball it, and has no intention of doing any of those things. He’s happy to take credit for “shutting down” a test site that collapsed after too many underground nuke tests had shattered the mountain.
Trump has been fooled. Don’t you be.
16Of course he thinks he has the greatest memory ever!
He’s forgotten all the times he’s forgotten things!
17Thanks, joel hanes, for making clear what Kim intends.
18I do understand that is the case, but Dump agreeing to do something when and if Kim should comply, implies that neither will ever happen.
Of course, Dump’s major goal is actually NOT to get denuclearization, but to SAY he has, so that his base and the rest of the Rethugs can sing his praises. This is all a big show to prove what a great president he is.
Kim will do the same.
Folks, I’m here to tell you: Just because people are polite doesn’t mean they won’t hit you with a 2X4 if it’s in their best interest…
19well, let us see…….handsomer, taller than an orange turd, younger by many many years, loved by his country…..no wonder our dear leader has picked a lying fight….what else could he do?
