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.

I couldn't agree more.
IMO I think what all the bluster from Trump is about renegotiating things like the USMCA, and shortening up the time to get to the 2% of our GDP for military spending.
It's almost humorous to see how almost all of our politicians falling for his BS. Ford trying to act like a "Captain Canada", and Trudeau trying to look like a staunch defender of our Country with his "We'll hard bargain with everything on the table".
Sure, if Trump follows through with his threat of tariffs, both countries will suffer, but Canada will come out the biggest loser. So, it doesn't make sense to react in such a childish and bravado manner. To do so, is just "poking the bear".
Trump initially said he would put tariffs on, IF we didn't stop the flow of migrants, and drugs into the US from Canada. So, I think we should have just focused on satisfying that, and not overreacted.
just my opinion
