I thought it could be fake so I checked on TS itself, and no, its real.
I cant believe were going back to this.
What an ass.
Think. Again.

(44,568 posts)My initial (pre-coffee) reaction was that Trump was simply too stupid and called Trudeau a governor by mistake.
So yeah.

Filipowski is right, this was a big mistake by Trudeau, and honestly, for the dunderhead, a pretty nice dig.

(308 posts)When will the Republicans in both houses realize and acknowledge he isn't mentally fit to be president and Article 25 him? Then we'll get president J.D. Vance. It's a lose, lose situation.

(13,113 posts)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.

(52,593 posts)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.

Just like Putin thinks he owns Europe.
And Xi thinks he owns the Pacific.
The world's autocrats have divided up the world into their own pockets.

everything spelled correctly. Second, it was an intentional insult, to show Trudeau just who is boss. Kindergarten bully tactics.
