Previous to the lyrical dust-up between Compton native Kendrick Lamar and Canadian goose Drake, Canada has traditionally been one of many kindest international locations on the earth. Residents don’t lock their doorways, they usually have free healthcare and actually goofy and delicate accents.
So why on Rihanna’s inexperienced Earth is the president of people who find themselves shopping for poorly-made trash can vehicles to personal the libs attempting to beef with Canada? Canada doesn’t trouble anybody. They’re fairly actually the bodily embodiment of consuming their water and minding their enterprise.
However that hasn’t stopped the faux dictator in workplace from claiming that the nation that doesn’t trouble anybody is America’s 51st state, issuing tariffs, and simply blatantly being disrespectful AF.
Throughout a Tuesday Interview with Republican OnlyFans aka Fox Information, the president claimed that he’s going to maintain bullying our neighboring nation.
“You’re more durable with Canada than you’re with our largest adversaries. Why?” requested Laura Ingraham, the New Republic experiences.
“Solely as a result of it’s meant to be our 51st state,” Trump stated. “No, no however hearken to this for a second.”
“We want their territory. They’ve territorial benefit. We’re not going to allow them to get near China, proper?” the Fox host requested.

Perhaps, and I’m not a moderator, however simply possibly that’s as a result of Trump retains claiming that he’s going to make their nation America’s 51st state! Oh, and he can’t cease speaking about Canada’s former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, although he misplaced his place as Canada’s predominant man to Mark Carney final week.
“Now, this was Trudeau—good previous Justin. I name him ‘Governor Trudeau.’ His folks had been nasty, they usually weren’t telling the reality. They by no means inform the reality,” Trump stated. “You understand, they’d say, ‘We don’t cost,’ they usually do, they cost super.”
Having hassle working by way of Trump’s phrase salad? Let me see if I might help.
Trump doesn’t perceive how tariffs work so he retains claiming that he’s going to tax the nation that sends items to America. The issue is the corporate/nation that’s being charged the tariff merely passes that cost on to the buyer. In protection of tariffs, Trump started making every kind of fictitious claims (learn lies) about Canada.
Like this one: “In Canada, we discover that they’re charging us over 200% for dairy merchandise… And once I left, we had that nicely taken care of, however beneath Biden they only stored elevating it.”

CBS Information discovered this declare to be ridiculously false:
“President Trump has urged Canada unfairly put tariffs of over 200% on American dairy merchandise throughout President Biden’s time period, however the degree has been unchanged since earlier than Biden took workplace.
“The over 200% tariffs on U.S. dairy merchandise are solely triggered if U.S. dairy exports exceed sure yearly duty-free limits, and U.S. dairy producers say they’ve by no means been near exceeding these limits.”
However why would we trouble Trump with the reality when his lies serve a objective? It’s simply complicated that his objective appears to be selecting a struggle with Canada, and Canada don’t trouble no one.
