Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

I wonder any type of tipping point exists on the Republican side, or if they're going to ride this guy right into the cognitive ward at the hospital.

To himself he sounds big and tough but to everyone else he sounds like he's 11yo. He thinks he can renegotiate every deal & the other party will always be at a disadvantage. They could ignore the US. He makes the US sound completely untrustworthy. Why would anyone sign a deal with the US ever again?

The Buy American Acf from 1933 only applies to Federal government projects so a bridge built by Canada isn't bound by it. He likely is referring to the Build America, Buy American Act which applies to any projects getting federal funds but that didn't take effect until 2021.

Also, Trump called the bridge in question (Gordie Howe International Bridge) an "infrastructure priority" in 2018 just before construction began. 😂

Trump sometimes forgets things… Like in December 2019, when the owner of the Ambassador Bridge tried to stop the project by appealing for Trump to intervene, Trump signed the first U.S. funding, allocating up to $15 million, for customs and border protection for the bridge into law.

Well, Alberta is probably going to have the referendum happen. It will fail but the folks arranging it are meeting trump administration in a sciff to discuss next steps. We are exporting our suicidal politics to Canada and its finding firm purchase in the dipshits of the common clay.

One certainly shouldn't be easily led to the conclusion that he believes thw the things he says. He lies with gusto, and often just for the sheer thrill of lying. But this bit about hockey is so pointless that it's hard to imagine a reason to say it other than that one believes it to be plausible.

Well we're still bein played by mega donors bribing our poli's, making it a Leftoid vs Rightoid contest, rather than human rights vs profiteers & supremacists. So... we place a little higher, but same league until we do better. XD

Seeing as he has no idea apparently that the Stanley Cup is an American trophy, yeah. My hometown team is the Soo Greyhounds (same team that idiot Gretzky got started on) which is an OHL team representing Ontario in the CHL, and the Memorial Cup is a huge thing here. Trump's a moron.

He's not that far off... If not for Carney we have a squinty-eyed, rat faced, fundamentalist dweeb sucking maga cock ALL day.... If pp had won, canada would be to the US, what Belarus is to Russia We dodged a bullet this time, but we might not be as lucky next time....*Cough* harper *cough*

he doesn't think they're stupid overall, just stupid enough to talk about whatever he wants them to talk about. which of course, he is correct about. this will probably be a top story on the Canadian national news tonight and tomorrow.

He may have had help, but the random capitalization is his trademark. Guaranteed he is just being told about the near completion of the Gordie Howe Bridge linking Detroit to Windsor Ontario

Canada spent $6.4 billion to build this bridge and the US did not contribute. Construction started in the last Trump era, 2018. The issue: this new toll bridge will cut into the profits of the Maroun family of Detroit who own the Ambassador Bridge.

Bingo. Republican donor $$$ gets Trump ear (this bridge between Ontario and Michigan is so unfair to his supporter's pocket book) So of course, Trump crazy Truth Socials against Canada proving again how utterly stupid and irrational he is.

The Maroun family went to court 40 TIMES to block the bridge construction. That is why Canada 🇨🇦 took on the project on its own. Guarantee the family made a juicy donation in exchange for access to 🍊 fed him a load of nonsense, and somebody fired up his phone.

In 2018 the WH listed the top 50 construction projects in the US. The Gordie Howe International Bridge was #8 on Trump's list.

Well I’ve seen it - it’s in the Hockey Hall of Fame in downtown Toronto and for the price of admission anyone can go there and see it up close! There are actually at least 2 cups - the real one, kept in a secure vault and a replica used for photographs etc.

Trumps effortless stupidity. A firehose of stupid hasn't stopped people from asking; 50,000 references and even more redactions? Really? What have you done, Donny?

I day I think he has dementia, the next day I think he is just so dumb. America, the president of the United States and the dumbest person on the planet shouldn’t be the same person.

Canada has always been a trusted, loyal ally and close friend regardless of what the orange felon claims. Canada fought alongside the U.S. in WWI, WWII, the Korean War, in numerous NATO operations including peacekeeping and combat operations in various regions. Always by our side. ❤️🇨🇦

When Iranians overran the American embassy, CANADIAN diplomats sheltered American embassy employees at great risk and smuggled them out with AUTHENTIC Canadian passports specially issued by the Canadian government. 158 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan while Bush ran off to invade Iraq.

All he has is fear, and he knows NOTHING about Canadians besides just the very broad stereotype that we like hockey. He knows how to scare the shit out of simple minded Americans, but he's got nothing on us. It's desperately pathetic. He has NOTHING.

Look on the bright side, every day this goes on further shames republicans and all of his supporters. They’re apparently pot committed and will follow this guy off the cliff like lemmings.

First they came for the Ice Hockey, and I said nothing because I was not a fan. Then they came for the Poutine and I said nothing because I was on a keto diet. Finally they came for the Labatt's, and there was no one left to guzzle with.

Trump makes up scary stories like unsophisticated parents do to frighten their children into obeying them. Most Canadians consider Trump to be a total nutcase. He is erratic, capricious, unprinicpled & irrational. No sane person can deal with a moron like him. We will do like Gordie Howe; ELBOWS UP.

Demento will soon lose his posting to public. They will have him post to a small group of sycophants who will cheer his drivel as dementia has the upper hand. Our prez is way beyond fit for office. Ask Iceland or piggy. Demento will soon do another wtf, like his primate stunner.

a. They thought that the leopards would only eat other people's faces; b. He gives them the excuse to be their worst selves.

That’s just a dog whistle to distract you from him saying he wants to steal 50% of a bridge that Canada built and controls. That’s just bat shit crazy. He probably wants to rename it the Trump bridge too, but he’s saving that little nugget for later.

You know I really hate this stupid comparisons, "What if Hillary / Obama / Biden did this. And I hate that whole "everyday another scandal that would take down any other presidency"And there's like five a day. Remember the racist Obama AI video? That was like 4 days ago. But *this* is batshit. 🤯

Auto Industry is absolutely terrified of Chinese EVs hitting North American soil. Instead of negotiating better terms for Canadians in terms of auto-manufacturing he posts this garbage.

Since the U.S. has tons of deals with China, especially the CHIPS, does that mean China will end all American Football and cancel Coca-Cola? 😱

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief. Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

The felon did a FAFO on Canada, and Canada is not playing🦅Who wants to do business with 47: nada mas presidente🦅vote the delusional GOP out🇺🇲

What's sad is that some won't recognize the equal level of crazy, i.e. demagoguing China ending the Stanley Cup for Canada is equally batshit crazed/sociopathic as everything he demagogued to Americans to get elected. It's all THAT cartoonish. It wasn't less so just because it was about US issues.

This screed is completely bonkers. I live in a country with a fucking lunatic for a president, and his submissive Republican endorsers let him do and say anything he likes. These are people who hand their family car keys to a 10 year old so he won't throw a tantrum.

More Canada grievance from the guy pretending to be President. We want and need to return to pre-tariff days. What Trump fails to recognize while he is waiting for us to cave (we won't)? He is harming USA politically and financially in the process of imposing illegal tariffs on Canada.

I heard China is also going to ban cheese curds and gravy from being combined with french fries. Rumour has it they will also bar Canadians from wearing blue jeans with a jean jacket.

triggered by the fact the bridge is named for Gordie Howe which explains the hockey fixation & he had to include the customary slam against Obama complete with middle name, he’s irked Canada is moving on without the US, definitely not yielding to him, begging for mercy or naming the bridge after him

I apologize to all Canadians for this absolute insane malignant narcissist leader in our country. True citizens of the US are not like this. Canada has always been there for the US until this orange POS came along. Stay strong and speak out for truth. Do what you must to maintain you democracy.
