    Trump fucks everything up forcing nations to find other economic alternatives then says I will destroy you if you work together. This is the plot of a bad 70’s comic book.

      Once people find or develop those alternatives they wont be back for at least a few generations. Trump doesn’t understand that other countries can and will find a replacement for US goods and if necessary US customers. I’m sure though some who are in the right position are ready to exploit this for their own gain. Trump is more than a fool he is a tool.

          Trumps wealth depends on him keeping the GOP on his side. The second he loses his lock on them his future is very uncertain. He is already losing more and more ground with the people and unless he can do the old brown shirt thing like hitler in four years he is out.

            He’s Hindenburg his whole job is setting up the next Hitler. That’s his plan anyway. You can see on his face he already knows how this ends for him.

    US: Bashes Canada for no reason. Starts a trade war.

    Canada: Makes new trade partners.

    US: Canada how dare you find other trade partners! Come back here so I can bash you again!

    Another year of this, and these threats will carry about as much weight as North Korea threatening you with sanctions.

    do it, cunt. the US relies on the EU and its neighbors way more than they rely on the US. you don’t even make shit anymore, and whatever you do make isn’t up to standards anyway. no one needs the US.

      The only thing the US exports is tax avoiding, minimum viable product supplying, data collection companies.

      Not only does the rest of the world not need that shit, they’re better off without it.

      Fuck the US and everything it has come to stand for.

    Yet another thing that is beyond our willfully ignorant American Republican’s comprehension.

    Adults cooperate with others who are open to mutually beneficial cooperation. Babies (and largely seniors past 70 as we become very similar to our sunrise at the sunset of life) kick and scream demanding to get their way the way they want it.

    I’m a 40 year old manchild who collects movie props and even I know that.

        The one that started it all.

        In 1999 Blockbuster video had a contest, giving away 1 full size episode 1 Yoda made by Industrial light and magic in every state. I didn’t know about the contest until the last day, put in my entry, and he’s been looking over my room, now office, ever since, keeping me contemplative ever since.

        Either that or a trap used in Ghostbusters 2 that I had signed by Dan Aykroyd. But probably Yoda.

      Please don’t include all seniors. While I can’t speak for all seniors, I am very much from a generation that took to the streets fighting against social injustice. PLEASE don’t generation shame/blame. It’s just another divide and conquer tactic.

    And by “economic harm” what he means is asking for a deal that suits him and fucks the other country over.

    Edit; had to rewrite this cause I said Trumps deals would be fair.

    Canada, all you have to do is outlast us, then buy us up for cheap once Trump decides to give up.
