So the reality is that he is saying a lot of things wildly out of norms and expectations, and the world is forced to respond because he occupies the bully pulpit, just saying the things is doing something.
There is very credible first hand anecdotes that he does not take military action seriously, that he demanded the USNG fire on US civilians, that he has explicitly endorsed genocides, that he doesn't respect boarders, and he is prone to outbursts with explicit threats and that he does not feel he can back down from.

I get what your saying. My industry, company, province, country are all doing the same sort of things.
But my point is he actually hasn’t physically done anything to canada beyond rattling our cage. He knows we are run by idiots and are in a major position of weakness.
But outside of tweeting all he has really done is expose our soft underbelly. A soft underbelly of our own doing. Because we allow idiots to govern us.
