The reason Trump is talking about annexing Canada is that Musk wants him to. Musk's mother is Canadian and born in Regina. This would make musk a natural born citizen of the United States and eligible to become ~~president~~ god emperor for life.

Fuuuck. A couple of months ago your theory would make me LOL. Right now it makes perfect sense. What a time to be alive…

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

On the flip side... It makes Trudeau eligible to become president. I see this backfiring badly.

[-] Live_your_lives@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

Wasn't Trudeau rather unpopular until Trump started talking about annexing Canada?

[-] Lininop@lemmy.ca 5 points 22 hours ago

Yes, but also he is stepping down literally today.

Musk was born in south Africa though?

[-] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

Doesn't matter, it's about being a birthright citizen.

Ted Cruz was born in Canada but he's still technically eligible to be US president

This particular rhetoric isn't helpful. The man is a child. If you tell him he got bitch slapped, he'll drive us all into the ground just to "win".

I could be wrong. Maybe it's more important to message voters. But it's a risk.

Putin is. He knows exactly which ones to hit and when. Plays him like a damn xylophone.

the fuck does that have to do with a lemmy meme

I think trump is more of a kazoo.

As a european I have to say I really do hope he swiftly drives you into the ground as quickly and as hard as possible. That way, you might still have a chance to save whatever is left of your democracy before the surveillance state can be fully weaponized against his opposition. The human suffering a fully formed fascist state would bring upon your people (an the rest of the world mind you) would over time still be much worse than the mother of all economic crashes if he triples down on his stupid tariffs right now.

Good. Maybe the American voters need to learn shit the hard way.

Consider the silver lining: suffering and toil puts hair on your chest and builds character. Think of how much personal growth you're all about to be forced to go through! The chucklefuck American voting public chose this shit-covered reality. So collectively this is what you wanted. Hope you enjoy it!

None of you get a free pass from Canadians. None. Not anymore, not ever again. We ain't fam anymore.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You better look around you, fam. I seem to remember some trucker convoys up there.

[-] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

You're not wrong, it's only just recently that I can see a car driving with Canadian flags in it and not think "They actually support Trump".

But real talk, I think most of us up here see right through that paper thin veneer of faux patriotism they had. They bleated on and on about how they were standing up for our freedoms but all of them would fellate the crop of Nazis currently running roughshod on personal liberty in the USA.

[-] Killer57@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

In which case the leader of said convoys has been sentenced to time behind bars

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Good. I'm glad you're upholding the rule of law up there. I hope for your success, as I hope you would like for ours. Your longtime ally is still in here somewhere.
