We don’t hear Trump threatening to acquire Mexico because Mexico doesn’t hugely rely from America for economic prosperity while calling Americans stupid and uneducated.
Sounds like the opinion of a stupid uneducated American
This is bait
It's crazy that I can't tell if it's bait from a pretty good troll, a real supporter of the racist in chief himself who believes this shit, or a supporter who is trolling because their real life is kind of pathetic. They all kind of sound the same at this point. But the fact that whoever it is went down the comment chain to reply to you instead of just those who took the bait points to 1 or 3.
Bait? You’re projecting too much. Are you an American?
Does it matter? I'm not stupid enough to fall for your weak shit is all you need to know.
Yeah so ppl who don’t live by the border only have the internet by which to form an opinion. If you actually go to the border, you see the real border. It does matter because you are acting like an expert on something you can’t even drive to in 1 day. Foolish
Unrelated gibberish. Goodbye
Sounds like someone who doesn’t know the border line of old Mexico
Come now, we know the real reason he isn’t calling to acquire Mexico.
Because Mexico and America have a mutually beneficial relationship, unlike the Canadian relationship which is 75/25.
Riiiiiight....
Are you an American?
Wow, unobservant. Such a surprise.
You do realize that Canada is subsidizing oil for the US, right?
https://socialwork.ubc.ca/news/canada-subsidizes-the-u-s-not-the-other-way-around/
Canada supplies 20% of American oil. Considering Trump is bringing back the drilling that Biden took away, I don’t foresee a significant impact. The biggest loss would be the syrup.
Which drilling did he take away? The amount of oil U.S. Oil being produced hit an all time high under Biden? You don't get there by taking away drilling. Refusing to expand on future drilling maybe, but that is because it would be cheaper and more sustainable to move away from future drilling.
Edit to add: Gas prices went up under Trump last time, and they are definitely going to again. No prices will be going down under his business practices, it's all up from here on costs, and wage stagnation to pad the company numbers.
Which is more hydrating? A shot of water or a gallon of water? Biden is a radically anti fossil fuel president who has halted drilling, canceled contracts, and restricted nearly every aspect of oil drilling. He even removed all federal funding from the industry that keeps American oil competitive. He specifically rushed to keep over 1/2 million off of shore drilling out of the oil industry because he knows Trump isn’t an EV messiah like Biden. 2019 was the record breaking oil year, not the past 5 years.
2023 and 2024 are higher than 2019. Anyone who thinks Biden was "radical" anti fossil fuel clearly doesn't know what the word radical means. "He even removed all federal funding from the industry" Thats based off what, your feelings? Because it never happened. We still spend $20 billion a year subsidizing oil. The last bill Biden signed pertaining to oil he increased the funding.
Bring some sources for those claims and I'll be happy to review them.
Trump is doing nothing more than pandering to the oil industry because they want to export LNG from Alaska. Besides, American refineries are largely equipped to handle heavier crude - Canada is helping us out.
We only have a (very) small trade deficit with Canada if you include oil. Canada is subsidizing what we do import to help us out (you know - we're supposed to be friends).
Don't believe the b/s that comes out of Trump's mouth.
Are you talking about Elon Musk?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
