Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest person on the planet, Donald Trump.
Why the fuck is he so horny for Canada? Who put him on to this?
Distraction
Many theories:
- Trudeau has criticized Trump in the past so it’s just a revenge quest
- Trump wants to be emperor and trying to rule over neighbors is just what emperors do
- Just some delusionial Trump bullshit that demonstrates his mental decline
- (highly speculative) Influence from Elon, whose grandfather wanted to turn Canada into an NRx-style white supremacist corprate-fascist state 80 years ago and failed, hence the move to south africa. Conceivably Elon wants Trump to make him governor of Canada so he can finish the job. Generally I’m not in favor of wild intruguing speculation like this but it’s just too fun/horrifying to pass up.
Look down at the North Pole. Alaska, Russia, Greenland, Canada. Shipping lanes and oil. Lots of oil.
Putin wants it all. Trump is either a Russian asset or playing the same game, looking ahead 20 years.
Russia has long threatened Canada from the north, but Canada’s alliance with the USA deterred it from attacking. Now the USA is considering stealing Canada’s resources and gaining access to strategic Arctic waters, Russia will also know that Canada is vulnerable because the USA will no longer defend it. So now these two predators are circling Canada and may even be coordinating plans with one another.
America has been subsidizing Canada
2024: Canada imports ~$480 billion total from the USA. Divided by 40 million Canadian population, that’s $12,000 for every man, woman, and child spent on American shit.
USA imports ~$586 billion from Canada. Divided by 400 million population, that’s only $1,465 per capita, and that’s only 1/8th of the amount that Canadians bought from the USA in return.
##BUY CANADIAN, BE FAIR!
You can’t compare apples to apples when one side of the equation has 10 times the population. If we’re trying to be fair, Trumpistan needs to buy 8 times more Canadian shit!
Tariffs on the Canadian side will be reciprocal and will only serve to make us stop buying Murcan shit, leading to an even bigger Trumped-up deficit and the loss of their biggest, best customer. Likely long-term.
Does Canada have car manufacturers?
Lol, not sure if you’re serious. Canada manufactures Ford, Honda, GMC, etc.

Two of those are American companies
‘Made in Canada’ is more important to the cause. That’s where the jobs are.
‘Headquartered in Murca’ makes very little difference to the Canadian economy. It’s not like the c-levels contribute anything to Murca, as can be plainly seen.
it might not make a difference to the Canadian economy, but buying cars from American companies still boost theirs.
Not at all! They contribute nothing to the American economy except inflation.
That makes zero sense. How do they benefit by selling and manufacturing cars in other countries, if not by making money?
Yo Canada, I’m sorry he’s such a prolapsed, syphilitic asshole. Most of us would laugh if he died in a fire.
He still wants us. Crank up the nastiness a little more.
exactly! this just shows that how we are responding is just perfect. he only talks like this about people he doesn’t like, or when he isn’t getting things precisely the way HE wants it to be done. this guy never learned to manage his emotions beyond six years of age.
He bragged about it.
“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.”
- Donald Trump
Sometimes when you’re having a tough time with other people, it might not be them that’s causing the difficulty…
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.”
If it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your shoes
And in Trump’s case, his pants
What is this fucking moron’s obsession with Canada being the 51st state? What a deranged maniac.
