I laughed at those people, and now I feel like them, because it has all crossed my mind, I'm certain at some time in the coming months Trump will lash out in anger and say "just invade them already", lacking a complete understanding of just how logistically challenging an invasion of Canada would be. I think about the day he says that and I wonder; will his advisers say no? will the generals? will the soldiers? will the democrats? will people just quit and silently go home until he finds someone that will? If they do make an unwelcome entry into our territory would that be enough to break their country up, or will people go home or sit silently? Do they only have the attention space to invade the Ontario Peninsula and will they claim victory, while leaving the rest of Canada virtually untouched? I'm sure we have someone in Alberta who is stupid enough to declare for trump immediately, will her party stand behind her?

I've though about all of that, and it's just a sign of how bad it is, and aside from the stupid things I am sure Trump and Smith will do, I have confidence in nothing
Has Trump actually done anything beyond sending out some threats via X?

I think you’re reading too much into it. Maybe turn off the news for a while.
