Pete Hoekstra thumbs through an imaginary document, and pauses for effect: “This is a serious proposal — pile one.” Then he raises a second document. “I can’t believe this,” he guffaws. “This is a joke.” Straight to the discard pile.
That, says President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada, is how it will go — one way or another — when newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney submits a proposal on a revamped economic and security agreement with the United States
Fake outrage is becoming more American than Levi’s and Coca Cola.
And it’s outrageous that America elected a senile, narcissistic, convicted felon who declared economic war and threatens to annex your closest ally, but here we are.
Go fuck yourself, Pete.
OUTRAGEOUS!!!
🤣😝😹🙄😸🥲
Fuck you dude, you haven’t banned our products from your shelves you threatened to take over our shelves, violently.
The Americans can’t have it both ways, if you’re waging economic war (and that’s what’s currently happening) we’re not playing nice. Stop with the threats to our sovereignty and stop the economic chaos and we can talk about putting away our knives.
If you wanted to talk, you needed to start there. Chaos first, means you’re serious about not talking 🙄
Classic response from a bully when someone actually fights back.
But he’s also feeling hurt by Canadians’ ban of certain American products from their store shelves in the wake of Trump’s trade war and calls for annexation.
“That is an insult to us,” he said. “We have not done anything like that.”
No, you’ve just threatened daily to annex our country once you’ve finished crushing our economy through a needless trade war you started. You haven’t banned our products, just made them impossible to sell. And you’ve made very clear that you don’t plan to stop until you have destroyed our country. Shockingly, we’ve become less keen on giving you our money. And we haven’t even said thank you once.
Edit: Borrowing this from someone else’s comment, here are some of his past performances:
Seriously. “You called out our bullying you, and that hurts our feelings!”
Cry-bullies. The core right-wing demographic.
Trump’s mouthpiece can return to kissing Trump’s ass. We should ban him from our country like we banned their products from our shelves. Fuck off, oppressors, you have made it clear we are at war. Maybe only economic war right now, but you’ve lost every shred of trust and credibility you ever had. You want to be my enemy, mission accomplished, I will treat you like an enemy.
Good read, well worth your time to go through it, if only to roll your eyes at the sycophancy on display.
Oust the rapist Trump admin.
Funny he says we haven’t banned Canadian products. I would kill to get their Smarties in the states. So much better than M&M’s.
Or Kinder Surprise eggs.
Kinder Surprise are readily available all over the US. The yellow plastic egg has been modified so it essentially splits the two halves of the chocolate egg, but I see them for sale at every grocery store, Walmart, etc.
They used to be banned, but not for quite some time now.
Americans aren’t smart enough to not eat the toy inside.
OUTRAGEOUS…I AM OUTRAGED…BY EVERYTHING THE UNTIED STATES SO CALLED PRESIDENT DOES
“How dare Canada enact targeted action in response to our targeted action. It’s not fair!”
🎻
I’m sick of hearing from this fuckwit. Let’s go back to never hearing about some useless ambassador.
He’s mad so it worked.
