Either Trump is senile and lost his mind; or
he's mocking our trading partner and good neighbor.
One of those two choices shows either an old man in mental decline or an infantile clown who less than half of the American voting population voted to be the POTUS.

Don't you know Shaw? This is how you bring the weaker partners to their knees so they know America is great again and not taking guff.
It really is 6th grade play ground mockery.
I like the Canadian official that said if they get tariffs from us, the northeast US won't get any electricity from them.
Shrugs. The vote is the vote
Things are what they are, and, will be what they're going to be.
Sounds like Canada needs to take DJTs advice and close their border...
Why should Canadians or anyone else take advice from a pathological liar and convicted felon?
They're not gullible and duped racist authoritarian follower idiots like Trump supporters.

The Environics Institute research found Canadians three times more likely to prefer Democratic nominee and current Vice-President Kamala Harris to win the Nov. 5 presidential election over Mr. Trump – 60 per cent to 21 per cent.
So, yeah, let's let Canada vote in our elections.
" Canadians three times more likely to prefer Democratic nominee "
Only three times? Quite a bit, bur compared to the rest of the world -
Poll against Trump - Denmark 96% Finland 90% Sweden 90% Netherlands 87% Norway 86% etc. all the way to the bottom of the list - where only 22% preferred a democrat. Presumably that would be higher if they let pollsters into the Gulag Archipelago

Always the easy and most ridiculously stupid plan for the cons.
After kicking the much needed immigration reform plan down the road for years (they (cons) did so to insure cheap labor for business) they now wish to close the borders to brown people. European and Scandinavian excepted.
Canada needs tell the Orange Bozo to stuff it and close their borders to him. His mere presence is am egregious form of pollution.
Fine. Leave it open and become the 51st State.
So other countries who cannot vote in a US election do not like trump and the citizens of the US prefer him. I guess that should show you how well the democrat candidate was the wrong choice.
Here’s a fact that Skud doesn’t take into account. Trump never broke 50% of the popular vote. Almost exactly HALF of the popular vote went for Trump and almost half went for Harris and other candidates. But not 50+%. The electoral college tells us nothing about who the American people voted for because its winner take all EC. Lets in many states even if its a 51-49 split.
Normal people would understand that to mean more people voted for someone else than voted for Trump. It’s still a win for him, but not one that shows the American people OVERWHELMINGLY voted for him. And even now there are Americans expressing “ buyer’s remorse” because of the unqualified kooks and former felons he’s nominating to be in his administration.
A win is a win, but his popular vote win is NOT a mandate.
Ms. Shaw,
I know it goes against the grain to admit the democrats are at fault, like Jim Crowe, but the votes were enough for him to win and had the campaign gone another two month he would have had a sizable lead because he didn’t beat her, she beat herself. She went from leading to tied to up a bit to getting creamed all in a couple of months.
He beat Kamala in the popular and EC so it was decisive.
Do people have regrets, sure and that is why Biden is in the 30’s and Harris is barely above him.
He may screw everything up but it can’t be worse than the current administration with their open borders, crime in the cities, causing murders in Afghanistan, getting US in the middle of three wars.
I’m surprised he had the time to shut industry, schools and causehuge inflation. He should be seen as a miracle man for all those accomplishments.
Oh, it can be much worse. Look at the total incompetence of his appointees.
The plan to fire the Federal government and create something else is dire enough to make us into a Somalia. Stay tuned for the details, skud. A
'landslide' from the 'swamp' to a toxic dump.
Well skud, now you'll get to see what real scum in power looks like with all the guardrails removed. Thanks to the corrupt scotus being in You Know Who's hip pocket.
The only frigging good news will be if the nation pulls its head from its dark orifice and demolishes every ignorant and short sighted policy You Know Who manages to get enacted while dismantling our government.
America, under You Know Who will most likely be in Putin's hip pocket as well. The destruction of American democracy rests at the top of the Orange Turd's list of priorities.
Hahaha... Skud says Harris was "creamed". Out of 152,000,000 votes cast for her and Trump, she lost by 2,500,000 votes, or 1.5%
Trump did not surpass 50% of the vote either.
Skud, since this was a wipeout by your perspective, how would you characterize the two Obama wins?
In 2008 he beat McCain by over 9,500,000 votes, which represented a win of over 7%. His vote total of course, was well over 50%.
In 2012 he beat Romney by 5,000,000 votes, again surpassing the magical number of 50% of the vote.
Did Obama "cream" McCain and Romney? And for extra credit, did he pressure Senators to approve all his cabinet appointments? Did he throw public tantrum when his nominees we're not all approved?
Finally, did Obama have a mandate and, dare I say a right, as Trump and the GOP has claimed, to enact his and the Democratic agenda based on those election results, which were far better than Trump's?
You tell us.
Harris was an average candidate with a very difficult task. She was not the best, nor the worst. Nor were her views.
Your view of reality isn't just skewed, it wrong and not supported by the facts.
The toxic energy from the swamp is already suffocating. And, the germ is not yet seated in his sewer seat of power yet.
Dave, Obama did in fact cream his opponents with decisive wins. The serial rapist didn't get 50% in 1996 but he wont the election. You see it is who gets the most electoral collage votes that matter, the popular vote is just icing on the cake.
The last president to really have a mandate was RR who beat carter by over 10%.
Interesting POV Skud. Reagan won the popular vote by 8,500,000. Obama in 2008 by 9,500,000. Additionally in the 2008 election, the Dem House margin increased to over 50 seats and the Dems had a super majority in the Senate, something not seen since before the Reagan Admin.
I would agree that Reagan had a mandate, but to say Obama did not, is just not true.
Obama won by more votes, carried both houses of congress AND the Dems won a majority of governorships. Reagan objectively did not do that.
How does Reagan, in your opinion, get a mandate, but Obama no?
Sounds partisan to me Mr Independent.
But it's what I, and I suspect, the rest of the crew here, expect from you.
David, Reagan won by 17 million votes in 1984 and carried 49 states winning by 18%
Barry won by 10 million votes and carries 28 states winning by 7%
Both of these are sizable wins and do issue a mandate.
Anon... you are right about the 1984 election. For some reason, I whiffed on that and was focused on 1980. In any event, as both you and I stated, both Reagan and Obama had a reasonable claim to a mandate.
However only one was opposed at every turn. Gotta wonder why.
Because Reagan was so popular and had a reasonable speaker of the house who worked for he best interest of all the US not just special interest groups.
