In his news conference today, Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.

There is going to be a time when our kids and grandkids roll their eyes because we refuse to buy American. It will be fun.

I can't wait to explain how we almost became American. History books will be interesting.

There's alreqdy examples in those history books of the previous times the Americans tried to take land that is part of Canada.

Manifest destiny is a very old American mantra.

Unless Trump starts really wildin I doubt any part of his life will make it to the history books.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fact that he's been throwing allies under the bus left and right will for sure make it in the history books. An American President who is actively working for Russia is another gem.

This stuff wouldn't be believable if they were in the movies, yet here we are!

America is just being America. The country has always been volatile and untrustworthy.

Trump isn't even the worst President based on foreign policy and actions yet because he has yet to invade another sovereign nation under false pretenses like other Presidents have done.

He likes to make threats, but he has also demonstrated himself to be a bitch when things heat up so I doubt he makes a footnote.
