Step 1: invent issue
Step 2: cave
Step 3: take credit for solving made up issue

Faga: omg he's so sexy and masculine for solving the issue that we didn't know existed 2 days ago

Honestly it's pretty much a mandatory practice to build and grow a loyal cult like he has. The members want to feel warm, cozy and protected and stuff like this accomplishes that. Would be an interesting case study to find out how many of them have daddy issues.

Way easier than solving real issues

Kinda hard to negotiate when US has made no measurable demands.

I kinda wish this was true.

But while the goalposts have shifted around on everything else (it’s because of the trade deficit, no it’s because of migrants no it’s because of fentanyl), the one concrete demand that Trump’s stayed consistent on since Trudeau first flew down to Mar-A-Lago to meet with him through to today is that Canada agree to be annexed into the US as the 51st state.

On the bright side, only 15 more years of this until he drops dead at 93 like his father. Hang in there gang!

luckily he can then be replaced by Kim Jong Jr. to continue the #Winning!!

How soon before Elon turns off StarLink to all of Canada because he can and is a vindictive so-and-so?

pro trump media headlines are that trump put a pause on mexico bc they agreed to send 10,000k troops to the border.

probably best case scenario for us for trump to make something up to "win" too.

Guy seriously singled out Edmonton of all places? The closest major U.S. city to Edmonton is like a 1,000km.

Well Gretzky

100% tarrfis on anything Tesla and Starlink related. The rest of the world will follow suit because no one likes that insufferable cunt

We already took measures… 1.3B for the border.

Big buzz amongst conservatives how Trump "won" and "now that's how your negotiate!" This is going to be never-ending.

His whole pretense is completely fake.

But if he lies that we did something and backs off, it’s probably best case scenario for our jobs/businesses/costs.

 

[Tryamw]

It’s all about Edmonton doing the right thing

If they have the courage

Agree. I just think it’s harder for us to contrive a concession. Our borders have been as secure as possible since 9-11.

Justin came to me with tears in his eyes, he begged me like a dog. He said he would limit the amount of fentanyl to only 43 lbs a year. Your great president knows how to negotiate!

 

[Tryamw]

Or he could have gone we are noticing an uptick of Drugs over the Canadian border can you work on that a bit?
Same result not ticking people off.

 

[hockeylover]

Except none of that is actually real. Shit coming from you guys into Canada is the real issue.

 

[Aberdeen]

This isn't how your negotiate, it's how your drive away customers and dissolve trust.
