It's the same idiot thing he did with Mexico trying to claim a victory for something that was already in the works. The US is not starting an armed conflict with a member NATO nation and their closest trading partner over these statements. As much as this president would like to be he is not in fact an emperor. Gonna give yourselves brain bleeds losing your minds over this stuff every day for four years.

Fine. If it happens it's literally WWIII and none of this message board stuff matters. Enjoy that because if the US decides that's what it's gonna do no one outside of China has a chance to actually stop them. I don’t know, maybe I'm old and tired but I'll be damned if I'm going to invest critical emotional capital on a daily basis losing my mind over the idiotic remarks of a broken brain grandpa.
Focus on the stuff that matters like how the house approved a bill allowing the deportation of undocumented immigrants who are charged, not convicted, of nonviolent crimes. Thats something worth getting up in arms over.

I know it is not real, but the 51st state stuff actually pisses me off, but I'm not focused on it because it won't happen.
What I am focused on is the tariffs. As recently as yesterday he affirmed he plans to proceed with the tariffs. My business will suffer immensely, but as consumers, both Americans and Canadians will get ####ed when Canada institutes retaliatory tariffs.
