Trump tore up his trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. He's word is worthless. Funny that he still welcomes free trade for the US to get Canadian energy and fertilizer.

The US is an enemy of Canada according to an increasingly larger percentage of Canadians. The Leger poll misses a key point: Republicans that follow Trump won't be any different. Republicans support Trump's war on Canada.
Trump isn't following any laws. Short of shooting people at the polls, Trump will do anything his acolytes suggest.
Trump, his administration acolytes, and the Republicans want to destroy the Canadian economy and sovereignty. The US is one of Canada's trading partners, but it's no longer one of Canada's allies. Trump's America first is America alone.
Vance quickly learned that lying keeps him in Trump's good graces.
The U.S. is not an ally of Canada's. Nothing new to see here.
Trump, his Administration, his family, and the GOP lie as easily and as often as people breath. It is just that simple.
The U.S. is no longer one of Canada's allies. Republicans will continue to insult Canada long after Trump has left the WH.
Canadian politicians (generally) have to be polite around Trump. But, the rest of Canada: Trump and the Republicans are no longer friends and allies of Canada.
Has the world reached the point yet where the U.S. is the pariah state? It won't come back after Trump leaves office. The Republicans will carry on with MAGA for the power and bullying.
Trump, an old man throwing temper tantrums like a 5-year-old child.
Trump continues his efforts to ruin the Canadian economy in order to make Canada subordinate to the U.S. The U.S. is an enemy country to Canada and many other countries because of Trump and the Republicans.
The old U.S. president & the climate change-denying Republicans want to punish America's former ally, Canada, with tariffs over forest fires caused by climate change & lightning strikes. Tariffs for cold & snowy winter weather are likely next. So much for Canada helping to fight U.S. forest fires.
More Republicans put their hand up to be counted as part of the science and climate-denying problem.
So, government shutdowns will be a thing of the past. Future presidents will simply issue EOs that staff have to be paid. Congress will no longer control the purse strings. Plus, the Constitution and laws are irrelevant to Trump and the Republicans. This does not bode well for democracy.
VP Vance's lies continue to demonstrate that the Trump administration is an enemy of Canada. Who hasn't the Trump administration attacked?
Trump and his FCC are doing their bullying routine in order to eliminate the media. Democratic institutions are slowly withering as the country collapses.
The sitting president of the United States just sat behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office of the White House and referred to the Governor of California as the President of the United States. Can the media start reporting on his deteriorating mental state now or nah?
This is the United States, the land of cruelty and abuse. Trump, the Republicans and MAGA have demonstrated they have no issues with this.
Billionaires getting tax cuts and the MAGA cult will support Trump and the post-Trump Republicans through to the collapse of the country.
The war with Iran is insanity in its own right. But it is gross incompetence Trump went to war with Iran with no plan to keep open the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran is laying mines, global oil shipping is paralyzed, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are close behind.
Trump took the US into Israel's war with Iran and is now extorting other countries to join in the war. A war which Trump has claimed many times has been won. It's a war the US will not win and Iran will not lose.
Poilievre announces an auto plan that resembles Trump's, and not a plan for the Canadian economy.
Trump is following Putin's playbook - bludgeon the media into a lying propaganda machine. Post-Trump US will be challenged to recover democracy.
Canadian of convenience? Seems a little rich coming from someone who has not lived in Canada for 2 decades.
Trump is bullying the world as he seeks to be the ruler of the world. The slow decline of the US continues.
Trump is an unhinged small man, with a dictator mentality. Billionaires and Republicans go along for the money and power.
Happy Thursday and Good morning 👋 I have a new starter pack out that I am adding to so if you aren’t in it yet and want to comment here! My priority is connecting resisters so if you want my help just let me know with a comment or meme. Have an awesome day! ❤️☮️ #BlueStormComin1 Repost
Trump has installed himself as the dictator. The sycophants and Republicans are happy with this as they kiss the ring and kneel next to the power. The Constitution is of little value.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Trump and the administration are a threat to national security. Nothing new here.
Negotiating meant little to Trump. Trump followed Putin's negotiating playbook. His 2 key negotiators have little political and government negotiating experience, they're just looking out for Trump's business grift. Trump was delaying in order for the CIA to advise a time for an assassination.
Cruelty and rage won't end with Trump. The Republicans have found Trumpism to be an effective way to power.
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
Trump and the Republicans must think Russia is conducting a friendly takeover of Ukraine. He's an old man with last century's dictator ideas.
Trump's ambassadors are forcing themselves into other countries' domestic policies around the world. The reprise of the ugly American is not a good look.
Trump should try to understand the expected damage to the US if he single-handedly continues economic war on Canada. Republicans and their voters will have no one to blame but themselves. Trump and his family will be fine - they are grifting billions off the presidency this time.
Weapons controlled by AI. Mass government surveillance and analysis of the population. What could go wrong?
Diplomacy is no where near Charles Kushner's strong suit. Kushner is a Trump-pardoned convicted criminal - 18 counts including tax evasion. Sentenced to two years in federal prison, his crimes included hiring a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law and sending the film to his sister.
Trump only has Russian talking points, and his chief negotiators have only their businesses interests at the top of their priorities.
The Republicans embracing Trumpism are not going away post-Trump. The idea that Canada's relationship with the US will recover is wishful thinking. It will take decades.
