Trump calling Prime Minister Trudeau "Governor" of the "Great State of Canada"




I thought it could be fake so I checked on TS itself, and no, it’s real.

I can’t believe we’re going back to this.

What an ass.

9. And Prime Minister Trudeau responded...
Tue Dec 10, 2024, 08:30 AM
Dec 2024

“Trump got elected on a commitment to make life better and more affordable for Americans, and I think people south of the border are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive,” Trudeau said.

The prime minister warned that 25-percent across-the-board tariffs would devastate the Canadian economy and create "real hardship for Americans."

"Americans import 65% of their crude oil from Canada, significant amounts of electricity," Trudeau said. "Just about all the natural gas exported from Canada goes to the United States. They rely on us for steel and aluminum. They rely on us for a range of agriculture imports. All of those things would get more expensive.”

Trump is now openly mocking him, because he can now say, Oh it was just a joke between us, and now I'm sharing it with the world; when the suggestion of being a governor was a serious suggestion. He's covering up his own ignorance.

But it went from being neither, when he mentioned the tariffs. Now he's just openly mocking him. At least Trudeau is safe from Trump, because Trump can't go to Canada to see him because he's a felon. Trudeau can get even with Trump by making a big deal about having his government provide an exception for Trump to make that trip possible. It would remind the world that less than 50% of Americans voted for a felon.

Macron bested Trump with the handshake. Trump looked like an idiot.

And, we can all find out just how stupid Trump is if someone goads him into posting a photo of Mohamed on a Twitter post, with one of his locker room captions. You know, I don't have the confidence that he would even see the idiocy of doing that.
