Does someone have a citation on the threats?
I'd heard him mention he wanted Canada to join the US, I'd not heard him threatening it, nor bringing tanks to the border.
Get fucked. It's 3 seconds on google to find reputable articles about his threats to canada, videos of him threatening canada, or even his own fucking posts on truth social.
The only reason it hasn't happened is because his people distracted him with invading Venezuela, then threatening Greenland, then Iran, now Cuba, or maybe still Iran.
Can't you just link it or tell me what he said so i can search it, it had to take longer than 3 seconds to type that.
I feel finding an article on tanks at Canada's border would be easier to find if it was true.

You're sealioning and you fucking know it. Nobody's buying your bullshit.
OK. I assume given the downvotes and responses with no citation its emotionally driven and people are upset about tariffs.
What’s wrong with you? There’s active‑duty military personnel deployed in Canada, yet you seem to ignore that the United States, arguably the most heavily armed and volatile nation on the planet, shares a border with Canada. I don’t care that you haven’t shown up at my door with a loaded gun and threatened me personally. The letters you sent, the posts you made, and the fact that my neighbor is armed to the teeth are already more than enough to make me feel unsafe. It’s enough to imagine our entire apartment building turning into a “crater of doom” without you even leaving your unit. That's how fucking armed you are.
Sorry what is it you're wanting to do to protect us from these nukes?
Hey asshole, if you want to have a conversation, pull your head out of your fucking ass, at least a little! But the way you are engaging is a draining hardship.
And yet, here you are, like Oliver Twist, hat in hand asking "please sir, may i have a link?"
I can't find anything when I searched.
X to doubt
Fucking moron
You just log on to the internet? World news in general?
Thats a recursive citation?
Nobodies given me a single thing that isnt this same video.
I think the tariffs are apart of the "threat" ... he said he would remove them if we "joined. The thing with Trump is he says that he doesn't "need" anything about Canada and then talk about all the freshwater we have. So it's a lot of "dog whistling" mixed in with actions like the tariffs whenever we do things like make deals with China.
Ah, I tend to believe every country should have the ability to control their own trade policy. Paul Krugman a far left leaning economist called it a more politically expedient VAT tax, which most US economists say we need a VAT due to massive US debt accrual.

It is a tax, and generates revenue for the US, which is something many left leaning people want for things like a minimum income. I'd be curious if a Democrat did it and used the proceeds to establish a minimum income would people be seething with rage and calling it a betrayal?
