“I know China very well, President Xi is a friend of mine, I know him very well…The first thing they’re going to do is say you are not allowed to play ice hockey anymore. That’s not good. Canada’s not going to like that,” the president added.

    I know we’ve joked about it for awhile now, but seriously, this is dementia right?

      Yes, he’s sundowning and smiling more, but sometimes has clarity. Unfortunately, he has nazis in his cabinet that are also evil, but young.

      I feel like people throw the dementia diagnosis at every stupid thing he says, when it’s probably just a lifelong habit of being a belligerent dumbass with money.

    This is hilarious, but FFS ‘thedailybeast’ fuck off with your headlines. There’s nothing panicked here. A realistic, actual meaty headline would be “Trump tells Canada that China will restrict Ice Hockey, when asked about British trade with China”

    This headline tells the facts, without dipping into outrage politics.

      Your headline calmed me down and made me feel more informed. Also, the trustworthy wording makes me think, “yeah, this article probably isn’t filled with garbage, and I should read it.”

      In other words, YOU FAILED! YOU GOTTA MAKE ME ANGRY SO THAT I SHARE A LINK TO EVERYONE I KNOW WITHOUT ACTUALLY READING ANYTHING!!! I SHOULD FEEL MY HEART RATE INCREASE BY THE THIRD WORD OF YOUR HEADLINE!

      I think he might be confused and think it’s February 2025 and the US just lost the tourney

    Dafqu?

    I mean that’s just levels of stupid that can’t be blamed on dementia.

    However it can be blamed on the fact that a bunch of new Epstien files were release and that it outlines the allegation that he got a blowie from a 14 year old.

    C’mon, bro! Xi doesn’t even like hockey, bro! His mom said it’s bad for you, bro! My mom said I could go to the NHL cup game, bro! C’mon, I’ll be your best friend, bro!

    Why would China even care about Canadians playing ice hockey? China has probably made money making hockey equipment or hockey themes toys etc. And even if China did want to ban Hockey do we really think the PM, who played hockey himself, will ban what is probably Canada’s favourite sport just for a trade deal? Does Trump think Chinese boots will hit the ground and stop Canadians from shooting pucks around on frozen ponds?

        Yeah but when every article is “trump says deranged shit and we question his sanity”… Ok the sky is blue too. At this point if someone doesnt know they probably need to get checked for dementia too
