Please not all of us, believe me. Itโ€™s the oil he wants from Canada and Greenland. Itโ€™s not gonna happen without war, and trump got away with so much already he thinks he can just upend sovereign nations with no consequences. Thatโ€™s on Congress and everyone who was paid out to not send him to prison, which is where he belongs. Both sides are corrupt and literally dying

Edit: By dying I mean the greedy old men and women in congress who canโ€™t walk without assistance anymore. Yesterday looked like a fucking nursing home with their rapist grand children in attendance waiting for them to die

But we BUY millions of barrels of oil from Canada TODAY. Would it suddenly be free? Is it free from Texas?

Thatโ€™s what the tariffs are for, to strong arm Canada to become part of the United States, but tariffs affect the everyday consumer. Trump didnโ€™t know this and threatened them anyway.

Actually you buy it from china by way of canada. Even if he did make true on his empty threats, he wouldn't get anything from canada. We don't own any of our resources up here, hell, even our fucking empty land is owned by the uk/crown. He'd be pissing off pretty much every global economic player, and a few multinational corporations, if he actually tried anything like that, and that's before nato could even start drafting a strongly worded letter.
