That has basically been the status quo for the past year. If you want something to succeed you have to keep it on the down-low so Trump doesn't notice otherwise he'll rip it to shreds in a tantrum.
The US is being governed by someone who is much alike the insane kings you read about in history books and fantasy novels.
Like an orange faced, child raping toddler.
In sane countries the president does not have the power to interfere in these things.
It's kinda funny how the US was founded on antimonarchist principles and then they installed a monarch on top of their new system.
Or you just slip him a bribe
This is where we are. Canada has to consider pandering to this idiot.
We have to step carefully to prevent the childish moron from waking up and flipping the table in yet another tantrum.
Like it or not (and I absolutely do not), this is the reality of the situation the Americans have put Canada (and much of the world) in.
Fuck it, and fuck him.
Irresponsible reporting.
This is obviously what's happening, you don't need to fucking publish it and draw their attention and torpedo this.
You need to make it a huge party. Do something so fun it goes viral globally. Fuck donald trump the psycho rapist.
Just for context, the CTV story linked doesn't mention it, but before Trump's ragetweet, one of the Morouns met with Lutnick, Trump's secretary of commerce. For anyone who hasn't heard of them yet, the Moroun family across the water makes passive income in the billions off the Ambassador (troll) bridge. They even donated 1M to a Trump superPAC less than a month before Trump's tweet.
The Morouns spent something like 30M back in 2012 opposing the Gordie Howe - made a fake group called The People Should Decide that created a petition that called for a referendum to amend Michigan's constitution, just to preserve their monopoly. When that didn't work in their favour, the next year they started suing:
I bet they blow it up and blame it on Iran to entice World War 3 and prevent the mid-term elections in November. Fuck this administration and anyone who voted for it!
