A crap ton of fake Trump religious AI on YouTube. Crazy. I think they must know this is Biblical prophecy. Maybe an added intimidation.

I love this idea, and hope Canada and other countries follow suit:

Canada should slap Tesla with 100% tariffs in response to Trump, says Chrystia Freeland

Former Canadian finance minister Chrystia Freeland said on Saturday Ottawa should retaliate against U.S. tariffs by imposing 100% tariffs on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA).

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday imposed 25% tariffs on most imports from Canada and Mexico, effective Tuesday, due to "the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl."

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded by announcing 25% tariffs on $155 billion in U.S. imports, including levies on beer, wine, bourbon, fruits and fruit juices including orange juice, vegetables, perfumes, clothing and shoes.

Freeland, who is in the race to succeed Trudeau as prime minister, said Canada should publish a detailed retaliation list, that needs to "big", "very specific" and "$200 billion worth."

In an interview with Global News, Freeland said Ottawa's retaliation plan should target stakeholders Trump "cares about," including American electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA).


Tesla (TSLA) chief executive Elon Musk emerged as an influential supporter of Trump during the U.S. election last year and now heads the administration's newly created Department of Government Efficiency advisory body.

Freeland said Canada should utilize its market power as the largest export market for the U.S. to deal with Trump's tariffs. She also urged Canadians to boycott American products.

"It seems like the Americans have a new reason every day," said Freeland in response to Trump citing illegal immigration and drug smuggling among the reasons for the tariffs. "What is really going on is a bully trying to push us around."

Freeland, who was part of the team that negotiated that US-Mexico-Canada trade deal signed by Trump during his first stint in office, called for a coordinated international response to American tariffs, noting Ottawa's trade deals with the European Union and several Asian countries...

Me too.

How the American public can be OK with Trump attacking all of America's allies is beyond me, but I'm here for it!

Who benefits more from Trump's actions against so many of our allies than our adversaries, like Putin?

Back in 2020, Trump's first Director of National Intelligence, former Republican Senator Dan Coats:

"... could not shake his "deep suspicions" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "had something" on President Trump, seeing "no other explanation" for the president's behavior, according to Bob Woodward's new book "Rage,"...

You know, it might not have been the wisest idea (for him) to axe pretty much every single individual who touched his many and sprawling investigations.

I got a call from a former partner of mine, who had transitioned to the FBI and was 1 year away from retirement.

He was notified Thursday that he was being fired due to his involvement in the Jan 6 investigation.

An investigation which, of course, he had no control over being assigned to.

What a fucking travesty this is for our civil servants, and federal workers. SMFH.

Ah yes, state ownership of the means of production, that classically-conservative economic approach!

weaponization says what?

The interim U.S. attorney in Washington warned Monday his office would pursue charges against "anyone who impedes" the work of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, which President Donald Trump has tasked with dismantling the federal bureaucracy.
