I’m going to say this once and then return to my indefinite hiatus:

This is what I deserve for being a single issue voter. We are expecting things to get very bad here in Maine. I asked for it and therefore can’t blame anyone but myself. My kind and I did this to you all. I’m sorry about what’s about to happen to our economy.
I hope you find peace with your choices, and stability for yourself and your family. Don't hate on yourself for the things you've done, learn from them, become a better you, and make the world a better place.

Peace brother.

Once gas jumps 25% he's going to lose the House by a 100 seats, and Democrats won't even have to try.

So um...wanna know the real reason for the high tariffs on Canada? Are you ready for this? Because the Orange Piss Pot believes it'll allow us to just absorb Canada.

Last time he was asked, he said he's not looking for concessions and nothing can stop it.

According to his last social media post, all Canada needs to do is submit themselves as the 51st state. Otherwise the tariffs will continue.

Is a state allowed to have several provinces?

Last time he was asked, he said he's not looking for concessions and nothing can stop it.

I thought he originally said the two together were because of immigration and fentanyl, but I didn't feel like Canada had much responsibility for either one.

The..*ahem*…”reason” he cited was that immigrants and terrorists were flooding over the Canadian border with fentanyl.

But I’m inclined to say that Canada’s border and travel policies are no worse than the US’s, so…

IF Canada became part of the US it would almost definitely be split into multiple states. As it is it would become a blue state and the Republicans can't have that, especially given their slim margins in Congress. Not that Canada would agree to merge with the US anyway.

Come on, if Canada was forcibly annexed by the US, like it’d be allowed to become a state, or states. It’d be made some territory with limited federal voting rights at best.

(I’m wondering if King Charles gets regularly updated on this crisis by one of his aides – “yes sir, I’m afraid that vulgar orange man still wants to take over that other country of yours, yes, the freezing cold one”.)

The Stock markets started to drop from the tariffs, then went back up again after Mexico announced they were paused for a month. Apparently Canada doesn't matter to the Dow, or they at least don't think he's serious. Face-eating leopard time for the stock market soon, methinks?
“Call us deluded, but we still think that permanent tariffs on the U.S.‘s allies (Canada, Mexico) will not be a thing,” said Thierry Wizman, global FX and rates strategist at Macquarie. “That’s because concessions are an ‘easier’ way to deal with Trump’s ‘problems’ (from a cost-benefit and game-theoretic perspective), and Trump likes to make ‘deals’. Political and market pressure will also weigh on the parties to make concessions, as in 2018.”

Also from that link, Trump's planning to put tariffs on the entire EU.

But that isn't what Canadians want. We were specifically told that they want to be the 51st state.
