Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a private meeting inadvertently broadcast via a hot mic, warned that Donald Trump is seriously considering annexing Canada to secure its critical mineral resources.
Speaking to business and labor leaders, Trudeau claimed Trump’s administration is keenly aware of Canada’s resource wealth and sees annexation as a means to control it.
The comments, cut off after staff realized they were audible, underscore growing economic and political tensions.
He also stressed the need to diversify trade, noting, “Geography means we’re always going to both benefit and be challenged by trade with the United States.”
Nothing Trump says is a joke, unless he realizes he’s getting too much pushback on it for going too far. Then it’s a joke.
Trump has zero sense of humour. He never jokes. Every comment he makes is a serious possibility in his mind.
His best trait is his comedy skills in my honest opinion. He absolutely has a sense of humour. And I’m an angry Canadian who would put a bullet in the guy’s head if I could.
Dude is funny. That’s why he’s in office.
The thing is that there is a truth behind every joke.
Sorry, but no. You might have brain damage if you think he’s funny.
He is funny. In the sense that we’re all laughing AT him, not with him.
If you think about it. Have you ever seen him actually laugh or just smirk?
Trumpy only smirks when he’s insulting people.
Rumours that the United States, in conjunction with Wile E. Coyote, are going to Nuke North Korea into Next Tuesday are GREATLY EXAGGERATED
Yea, everyone knows it’ll be Monday. The worst day of the week.
I just had this conversation with my boss yesterday. He said he thinks the comments are funny because he thinks he’s joking and just making everyone mad. I said no, he may present it as a joke to test how far he can go, but if there’s not enough pushback, he keeps going.
But also like, what if that was what he’s doing… Why is this funny again? This is the president, why would we want someone who jokes about serious shit like that in charge?
The brain rot in this country runs deep.
Like yea, haha, the USA’s commercial partners are turning away from them, but the jokes are so funny!
