Summary

In a virtual speech at the World Economic Forum, Trump suggested Canada could become a U.S. state to avoid his proposed tariffs on imports.

The remark elicited gasps from the audience.

Trump claimed the U.S. does not need Canadian lumber, energy, or vehicles, vastly overstating the trade deficit between the two nations.

He reiterated his intention to impose tariffs, potentially as high as 25%, on imports from Canada and Mexico starting February 1.

Economists warn such tariffs would raise prices for U.S. consumers.

Why the fuck is this asshole fighting with fucking Canada? Goddamn I can't wait until he dies.

You will be waiting until 2031 or 2032, then.

He won't tolerate the 2028 election, so Civil War Part2 begins around then..

Only when "either his or NOBODY's" has finished butchering Turtle Island, will he be "finished".

People are living in hopium, instead of understanding the actual context, with the fascists allying globally, to butcher the whole world, for their "glory", or self-worship..

Please live strategically: too many are going to be wasted-lives, when things go to hell, for real: this is only the appetizer, I'm afraid..

I want to piss on his grave. Seriously, they better have that shit locked down or at the top of a mausoleum or something. Otherwise, I want to try and make it a national pastime.

That’s the only feasible reason I can see to ever give my tourist money to the USA ever again.

I live in Germany but I'm more than willing to send a stool and urine Sample via overnight express to the USA as soon as this sack of human-goo and spray tan gets put in the ground.
