Escalating his attack on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Donald Trump is now pledging to punish “the people of Canada” economically because of the post-G7 news conference in which Trudeau criticized Trump’s tariffs.
“That’s going to cost a lot of money for the people of Canada. He learned. You can’t do that. You can’t do that,” Trump said Tuesday in Singapore after meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Trudeau offered a restrained response.
“Obviously we support the continuing efforts by the president on North Korea. We look forward to looking at the details of the agreement. On his comments, as I said, I’m going to stay focused on defending jobs for Canadians and supporting Canadian interests,” Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa.

It is not clear why Trump has reacted to Trudeau’s post-G7 news conference with such anger. There, Trudeau expressed the same polite criticism of the steel and aluminum tariffs, and same promise to stand up for Canadians, he had been expressing for a full week. He and his ministers have described Trump’s tariffs as an insult given that they are officially being imposed on “national security” grounds.
“It would be with regret but it would be with absolute certainty and firmness that we move forward with retaliatory measures on July 1st, applying equivalent tariffs to the ones that the Americans have unjustly applied to us,” Trudeau said then. “I have made it very clear to the president that it is not something we relish doing, but it something that we absolutely will do, because Canadians: we’re polite, we’re reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around.”

It's because criticising Trump in any way hurts his delicate, fragile ego.
I know its stating the obvious but Herr Drumpf is purely a petulant bully not used to being stood up to. I hope more leaders go after him in the same way, we basically have Eric Cartman as president at this point.
This is absolutely shameful. I can’t even think of something to say here besides ‘Fuck Trump’
Trump treats the US' closest ally worse than people who literally pissed on him. How much further does he have to go before we bring this to an end?
So what he gonna do? Nuke them?
This is like a kindergartner throwing a tantrum at the whole class because one person stepped on his toes.
This is what happens when you make someone who was never told "No" your chief diplomat and leader.
Alright cool, let's just fight Canada now cause they said something totally benign, but makes Donnie's tiny penis feel even smaller.
I'm so fucking done with this shit, and I have no idea what I'll do when Mueller's investigation concludes and inevitably results in absolutely nothing being done, and Trump wins a landslide reelection in 2020
Midterms are this November, if he loses control of Congress the impeachment can go through.
Honestly as much as Trump disgusts me, I am far more disappointed with most of the conservatives I know that have unashamedly joined in on Trump's dark crusade against truth itself rather than admit they were wrong. Especially love it when its older people who know they are leaving us with the check, because fuck you got mine lol. The US deserves to be a pariah until this shit is hammered out of us. I have always found my nation flawed but never felt embarrassed or ashamed about being American, but now I can honestly say I fucking hate what it has become. Reality TV president, fuckin A.
Reminder to ensure you are registered to vote well in advance of your states elections. Someone mentioned it on the old forums and out of curiosity I checked myself and it turns out I wasn't registered despite voting in 2016.

Because Trump's a fucking baby, that's why. Next!
Keep pushing your neighbors around Donnie, that'll fix your countries problems

Trump said he departed the Group of Seven summit that Trudeau hosted in Quebec late last week on “very friendly” terms with his six counterparts, including the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain.
“When I got on to the plane, I think that Justin probably didn’t know that Air Force One has about 20 televisions,” Trump said. “And I see the television, and he’s giving a news conference about how he will not be pushed around by the United States. I say, push them around? We just shook hands. It was very friendly.”
America's leader and chief diplomat utterly fails to comprehend the concept of putting on a smile and a polite tone to try and grease the wheels of diplomacy. And this is right as the Kim meeting was happening, when Canadian politeness is entry-tier compared to the diplomatic face games Kim is pulling on Trump.
And now Trump's mad because nobody tells him no, nobody criticizes him, and nobody makes him look bad right before his big show when he tries to sell North Korea on Trump steaks and hotels denuclearization good feelings.
It's so nice to fucking see the country that's suppose to want to help others "punishing" some of closes Allies. Fuck you Trump, you're raping my country, and I can't wait for her to turn and bite your tiny lil dick off you prick.
He just needs to be there a bit more until some more SCOTUS justices die/retire, ram Scalia clones through, and they'll make Trump a real dictator.
What Tinyhands is doing is undeniably terrible
However, he does not deserve anywhere near a majority proportion of the blame
It is important to remember that the US still has strong separation of powers and the men and women currently sitting comfortably in places like congress and the senate still wield an immense amount of political clout
They could reel Tiynhands in at any time. They could speak up at any time
To me, their inaction and their deafening silence is louder than any ten of Tinyhands' childish outbursts
I don't care what Tinyhands does. It's nothing he hasn't done before, it's just on a grander scale, and with the very important difference that he can be held responsible for his actions to a far greater degree than ever before. But he isn't being held responsible. The Republican government consistently fails to even as much as speak a single word of criticism. They're perfectly content to let the Tiny handed manbaby unravel alliances and agreements forged over an entire century of effort and run a nearly completely derelict white house and sell the country out to Putin's government
They're entirely complicit in all of it
I'm staring to sound like a broken record at this point, but I think it will never stop being relevant and worth repeating: Tinyhands is not the problem, he is the symptom
This is the Republican party's dream. This is what they want. They'll pay lip service to how bad and terrible it is when they're safely out of the line of fire, but it rings hollow every time. They have directly and deliberately enabled all of this to happen, and continue to allow it to happen every single day
because he triggers liberals
that's pretty much it.
Propaganda, internet echo-chambers, anti-intellectualism. radicalization, extremism, wealth inequality, poorly funded mental health care, poorly funded education, apathy, desensitization, political polarization, etc.
Ironically it actually could, the more bridges Donnie burns the fewer people will oppose his removal.

Fuck trump
useless baby man
250% on our dairy and there is concern about our tariffs? Shocking news.
Going by how often this is repeated you'd think the US exported nothing but white tit juice.
If it was our corn-related exports being grievously tarrif'd then maybe we could talk about massive damage being caused. This is just 'we're flooding their markets, so they're trying to dampen that'. You know, the thing Trump was whining about regarding China.
At least we do not import rapists.
#1 on Canadian Google "How to impeach another country's president"
Sorry Canada. Trump isn't even the candidate we voted for
Imagine if every 5th super bowl, the losing team was declared the victor. What a system
No, we just apoint them as president of the United States.
It's the talking point that most accounts with twelve posts on entirely random subjects spout before they start going off on nonsequiturs about rapists in completely American English without using contractions.
