ha! I was just looking at that thread. They are in complete denial. Trump is absolutely killing it and they'd rather die than admit it

Canaduh's holdout against Trump was shorter than I predicted. I thought they would make it until Thursday morning.

At least they're consistent in rooting against America.

It's really pissing them off that Trump, in such a short time in office, has already done more to help America and working Americans than SloJo and whoever was actually running the country did in four years. Of course, SloJo and whoever was actually running the country were so busy rectally copulating with America and working Americans that I suppose they didn't have time to do anything positive.

Glad to hear that two countries that have been a huge pain in the ass to America finally learn what it's like to get screwed themselves.

Plus, Ontario ripping up Musk’s contract for Starlink
didn’t help.
That also got "paused".
Also, Starlink's 2024 revenue was ~$8B. $69.2M USD isn't chump change, but it's less than 1% of Starlink's annual revenue.
Trump basically got what he needed, paused US tariffs with a month for Canada to do what they said they would, and with Trump's tariffs paused, Canada paused there's.
Pretty much the same sequence as with Mexico.
:II: Trump has not been in office a full two weeks, yet! :II:

Here is why the lefties and legacy media (but I repeat myself) are declaring the "2025 Tariff Bowl" a big loss for President Trump:
You Won’t Believe the MSM's Insane Take on Trump’s Recent Tariff Victories
Trump scored a bunch of epic victories on Monday. First, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico will deploy troops to its northern border to combat drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, while the U.S. commits to curbing the flow of high-powered weapons into Mexico. She also agreed to Trump’s decision to reinstate the “Wait in Mexico” program, which requires asylum seekers to remain south of the border while their cases are processed in U.S. courts. This program, initially implemented during Trump’s first term, was suspended under Joe Biden.
Then, after a couple of conversations with Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada would do more to enforce border security and control the flow of illegal drugs. In addition to border fortifications, like new choppers, technology, and personnel, Trudeau announced he will “appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering.” Trudeau also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and committed $200 million toward the effort.
Trump’s executive order imposing 25% on Canada and Mexico made it clear that he wanted more action to prevent the flow of drugs into the United States from those countries, and that’s what he got. In exchange for meeting Trump’s demands, the tariffs on both countries were paused for 30 days to allow for continued negotiations.
Yet according to the liberal media, it was Trump, not Canada or Mexico, who caved.
“Trump folds under pressure, pauses tariffs on Mexico and Canada,” reads a headline at MSNBC.
“Donald Trump caves on tariff war with 30-day pause after £1bn border agreement,” was the headline from The Mirror.
According to CNN’s Stephen Collinson, “In the face of a trade war with America’s neighbors, Trump blinked.”
Continue reading after you’ve stopped laughing uncontrollably.
Seriously, though, as funny as this is, it’s outright propaganda for news outlets to claim that after Trump got what he wanted, somehow this was a victory for Canada and Mexico. In both cases, these countries import significantly more goods from the United States than they export to the United States. They are far more dependent on our goods than we are on theirs. It was never a question of if Mexico and Canada would cave; it was merely a question of when.

Ya beat me to it, Ralph! :hi5:
The MSM systematically lied for 9 1/2+ years about things Trump said and did, and since his Inauguration their lying is continuing. Trump got what he needed on terms beneficial to both countries. Then there's Colombia, Venezuela, Panama and El Salvador, so far, and maybe also Denmark/Greenland.

I think they’re afraid they’ll get hit by lightning if they told the truth :thatsright: :loser:

Trump didn't capitulate, dipshit; Trudeau did.

While then simultaneously accusing any of us who oppose any aspect of the far- left's agenda of being "Anti- American."
