But something has to be going on. The fact that Trump is still blabbering nonsense about Canada this many days later. The fact that Kevin Oleary is plastering his face all over every news outlet that will take him, telling Canadians to "Get used to it". The fact that PP is having fundraisers hosted in the houses of American billionaires, and being interviewed by Jordan Peterson. Plus Danielle Smith just being herself. Theres just too much bluster that has been continuing for longer than a single news cycle, for something not to be going on.
For the record, I don't think we're about to be invaded.
But I think people of influence are trying to sell us out of our economic interests.

Well. Look. I'm not a World-renowned international Economist, well...I mean, I might be, but that probably wouldnt be for good reasons and I'd prefer it if nobody told them where I am...
Anyways.
As I've said before I think Drumpf there might have been trying to rattle a few cages and using the 'Tariff Scare' to do it and then he figures he'd put the icing on the cake with this 51st State BS.
Fact is? I dont believe a word Drumpf the Clown says. However, he does have enough people around him that I do think he's trying to soften up an opponent for another concession somewhere else.
What that might be? I do not know. I have a few theories but thats just me extrapolating theories from incomplete information, which, is something I'm quite good at, but its never perfect.
And then we have the ackowledge the perpetual 'Elephant in the Room.'
Trump is generally batcrap nuts. He could do something pathologically insane.
He can. Thats never off the Table.
