I would have thought even a low IQ poster could see that Canada has been relying on us for defense for decades without meeting its NATO commitments.

Yet you call them our "greatest long-standing ally".

Lol. So you can’t explain what nato has to do with your orange turds trade war? Got it. Dummy.

That's a totally jerk move on his part but unfortunately he can't help himself.

I support his attempts to get a better deal with Canada but calling them our 51st state or renaming Lake Ontario is just asking for a fight.

we had free trade with Canada with a deal he struck in his first term

The Silent generation/Boomers wasted their life working soulless jobs for decades and now are hoarding their wealth and are so bored they've reverted to enjoying being geriatric trolls with no life (their kids all hate them and don't talk to them).

Lake of America!

The greatest irony is that generation warning their kids to be careful on the internet, and not to believe everything they read, absolutely refusing to take their own advice and having their brains absolutely cooked by misinformation online.

Fuc kin' Dumbass!

President Donald Trump ordered Lake Ontario to be renamed Lake America, the latest broadside in his escalating feud with Canada.
In the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump signed an order requiring that the U.S. Interior Department update geographic information systems to change the name of the lake, located between New York and Canada.


“We filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else,” Trump said. “We notified all the various people that we have to notify. So we’ve done everything that you have to do. And this is official, effective immediately.”
Trump said he made the change, which follows renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America last year, because “Canada has been ripping us off for a long time on trade, very sadly.”
This is a developing story.

It’s just f#cking weird. We have a president who acts like he’s in middle school.

At this point, it’s just boring.

yep- they were so incredibly manipulated by cable news their whole life that transitioning over to the internet was like meth for them. They could get their propaganda at all times, tailored to them, telling them exactly what they wanted to hear with zero critical thinking.

They walked to school uphill both ways only to become government shills and idiots wasting away with propaganda drool dripping out of their mouths

being in constant campaign mode (which for trump and his supporters is just "say things that libs don't like") hits different when you're actually president
Yes, we are a nation chock full of idiots. I accepted that a long time ago.

As a former Republican, I don’t care what triggers the libs. I’m just past the point of being embarrassed by my president. It’s old news. I moved on years ago.

The only point of talking about it now, at least for me, is to laugh about it and make fun of the MAGA Idiot Brigade frantically flailing every time to defend the newest stupid sh*t Trump said or did. Frankly, it’s worth the price of admission (yeah, zilch, but you get it) visiting this site. 😝

  1. It's still in effect but it doesn't include everything
  2. One of the sticking points is Canada helping China sidestep tariffs by importing goods from China then reselling them to the USA is zero or lower tariffs.
  3. I think Trump has some legitimate concerns but he's also a bully. Lake of America is a total dick move and IMO doesn't help with negotiations. Just the opposite.

That's not how importing/exporting works. The only way Canada can legally import from China and then export to the US and bypass the current tariffs on that product is if Canada modifies the original product being imported into something new. Otherwise, it's considered smuggling and is highly illegal. I'm sure it happens on the small scale, like any other smuggling operation would, but it's definitely not something the Canadian government condones/engages in.

and even if they "could" under the agreement, how is that not an indictment of that agreement?

it seems like a trade agreement should have mechanisms that prevent and enforce this type of thing

I was explaining to you the stupidity of your statement that Canada is our "greatest long-standing ally."

MAGA loves using the “meltdown” reaction when in reality it’s simply educated people shaking their heads and saying “well that’s f****** stupid.”

Some of us educated folk care more about lower inflation, interest rates, and spending on pointless wars than childish games.
We are so fortunate to have "educated folk" like you on this board. What is your claim to being 'educated'?

Classic MAGA post. The MAGA response when confronted with an action of Cheeto's that is mind numbingly stupid (and there has been no shortage of them) is to say "It's great, because Democratic/liberal heads will explode!" or "Democrats/liberals will have a meltdown!"

TG: I'd say "Surely you can do better than that," but the plain fact is that Cheeto did not give you much to work with here. "Lake America." BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Cheeto should have gone whole hog and added "Phuck yeah!" to the name.
