Trump suggests Canada become 51st state after Trudeau said tariff would kill economy

OlNate said:
Tsk... you're so upset. There there.

That said, I fully agree with your last paragraph.

Why would I be upset? Can you please explain that to me?

Canucks seem to have an inferiority complex.

I'm not sure why you're upset. Maybe it's because your president to be is already walking back his promises before he even gets into office, and you don't like a Canadian pointing that out?

And based on how you've represented yourself here, the last thing I'm worried about is an inferiority complex. Quite the opposite, honestly... some folks make it hard to be humble.

So you "know" that I am upset but you have no idea why? You can only speculate. Wow, Liberals say the darnedest things.

How have I represented myself here? Do tell.

You throw out these whopper bombs but you never seem to want to back them up. You are more interested in insulting someone than having an actual discussion. It reeks of insecurity and a lack of knowledge.

Don't worry, Trump's bark is bigger than his bite. He won't crash your economy.

I know how presidential elections work and I know Trump won in a landslide. That's all I need to know.

"Majority percentage" has nothing to do with winning or losing a presidential election. Or didn't you know that?

He didn’t win by a landslide.
By traditional numeric measures, Trump’s victory was neither unprecedented nor a landslide. he actually won with one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century.

You can lie to yourself as much as you want. It still doesn’t make it true.
 
Popular vote has nothing to do with determining a presidential election winner. I would suggest you brush up on the rules of a presidential election.

Viva la Trump baby!

That makes no sense. Well it is nonsense, so if you want to count that. Nope, you got nothing. You're just flailing in the wind now.

You don't know math!! By traditional numeric measures he didn’t win by a landslide!!

 
Landslides are unmistakable, Lyndon B. Johnson’s in 1964 by 22.6 points, Nixon’s in 1972 by 23.2 points and Reagan’s in 1984 by 18.2 points. In the 40 years since that Reagan victory, no president has won the popular vote by double digits.
Trump’s 1.6-point victory is smaller than that of every winning president since 1888 other than Kennedy in 1960 and Nixon in 1968. In addition, two presidents won the Electoral College while losing the popular vote: the second Mr. Bush in 2000 and Trump in 2016.
Trump didn’t win a landslide no matter how much Trump repeats it
 
There you go again with the popular vote nonsense.

It was a landslide.
 

What's there to talk about? You're here to troll. I'm OK with that, I can beat you there too, with the same facts that I could use to beat you in a more serious debate.

1) Trump's threat before request tactics are common thuggery.

2) We can't hurt each other without hurting ourselves, so trade wars and punitive tariffs are stupid, and would only be taken on by Canada if that dumb ass Donald Trump gives us no other option.

3) Only a worthless piece of shit would continue to insult their greatest allies and trade partners, and only worthless pieces of shit would applaud him for it.

4) The same worthless pieces of shit that applaud him for it are currently cheering for a guy that's walking back his promises before even taking a stab at them, making them gullible pieces of shit that look more ridiculous the more they troll.

5) The wildly inflated accusations against Canada are more food for ridiculous, gullible pieces of shit, rather than anything supported by statistics.

6) Despite that, Canada would have, and likely still will, work with Trump on these issues, not because we are weak, not because he's some stable genius who excels at diplomacy and leadership, but because doing so is in our best interests as well, making this entire stupid troll fest, and the resulting blow to the perception of intelligence to be found among the previously mentioned ridiculous, gullible pieces of shit, entirely unnecessary.

So. What would you like to talk about?

La Trump? Why are you shouting your ignorance?
La vaca- the cow
El toro- the bull
Or are you calling for a long life for Melania?
 
Well, you're a little fired up! Relax, take a deep breath. It's gonna be OK. Big bad Trump is not going to make Canada our 51st state. He was just joking, I promise.

Canucks are so cute. I just want to pick one up and give it a big hug. I want to take it home to my wife and ask her if we can keep it.

Magas are so ignorant. You want to explain simple things to them and they go back to their ignorance like a shit-eating dog.
It's hopeless to try but the result can be entertaining.

What percentage of MAGA's do you believe are ignorant?
 
The practical implications of Canadia being a US state are quite good. The place is liberal and with a high population.

What I find most interesting is that Albertans, who culturally are a lot closer to Texas than mainstream Canada, would have the most to gain from such an arrangement.

That is very true. I hadn't thought about it till you brought it up. But yeah, starting with the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association. More than a few participate in our rodeos.
