Justin Trudeau taunts Donald Trump after Canada's hockey triumph
-
And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won’t happen?
Knowing Trump, yeah, probably.
-
He won't acknowledge it because that would be admitting that his side lost
-
Jeez we have rolling 30 day delays in tariff wars. Trump is stupid in lots of ways but you/he doesn't lose sight of being slighted that quickly. How long was it between Obama mocking him at the dinner and him running for president? Lot more than 12 hours.
-
I see little chance that was the only reason for running, and the people he doesn't like tend to slight him a lot - far more than he could keep track of even if he was intellectually normal. By all appearances, the input -> brain -> shitpost/order chain on the guy is very short and fast.
He could have fired back and said "now it's 50%", I guess. It's also possible someone will remind him. Either way, I don't think it will resonate as a huge mistake a year from now.
-
I suggest he lets that one marinade!
-
Being offended is not quickly forgotten. Ever hear the phrase "it's not what you say, it's how you make people feel"? That's because emotions are held for a loonngg time. Next time tariffs come up it's just a feeling of "Trudeau's an asshole, fuck him and Canada".
-
Don't forget, he already hates Trudeau, and probably won't love his successor either.
-
And this isn't helping. It's only adding fuel to the fire. FFS, why are you so intent on being a stick in the mud.
-
Doesn't that imply your plan is to put out the fire? That's not an option.
FFS, why are you so intent on being a stick in the mud.
I feel like we haven't been at this nearly long enough for that distinction. It hasn't even been an hour.
-
Seriously? No, not adding more fuel means NOT ADDING MORE FUEL. Let Trump get distracted with the next thing, god knows there's enough, and let this thing peter out.
And so you are a stick in the mud. Thanks, lets me know who I'm conversing with. Not worth it. Ciao.

Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol
-
and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?
I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.
Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?
Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
-
The answer is "Not".
Cowering from bullies doesn't make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you're an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.
You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can't come for you without having to pay for it.
-
Lol it's not cowering. It's letting Trump get distracted by something else. Lots of people here are 14 and very badass. A literal war is not out of the question and Canada would lose. "What are you going to do, stab me?" - Man that was stabbed. Trudeau would be better to just let Trump get distracted by the next thing.
-
Ok but they barely won. Like calm your titties that goalkeeper saved like 10 goals in insane ways
-
The fact that a war isn't out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we'll bite back.
-
Yeah you do that politically and militarily. Not with taunting and snarky hockey comments.
-
-
Yeah you do that politically
If the PM saying publically "You can't take our country" isn't an example of doing just that, I don't know what would be.
-
He has so much hate-filled energy, I think he needs all the pushback the world and his own constituents can give him. Keep him busy.
