What’s the definition of insanity, again?
Voting for the same two political parties for longer you've been alive and expecting things to change for the better.
That's more an example of Stockholm syndrome. There isn't exactly another choice
Edit: in the US
there is in Canada
Is that man just bored with his life or he's like a Nelson from the Simpson's fanboy?
Just doing what he's told
Who's the master of puppets in his case?
He likes taxes now ?
I suppose,
As long as it isn’t coming out of his or his friends pockets 🤷🏻
You disagree?
Well, since they used a chainsaw to simulate the cut in burocracy, someone could use the same analogy to simulate the cut in unbalanced richness of some useless monkey
my bet is he will walk the threat back again and declare it a victory.
saved america again from a looming "trade war".
I will always assume he is not actually going to put any tariffs up until they are actually in effect and so should probably everyone else.
He wants to extend tax cuts on the other hand, and Canada would cut rates to nothing so its exports would get cheaper as CAD falls, which is deflationary for the US.

So what you’re saying is groceries won’t be cheaper.
This could be good for Morocco.
Does this mean more lumber for Canadian businesses?
If this will lead to an increase in oil prices then I'm all for it.
Trump, like the rest of his family, alive or dead, are dumb fucking cunts!
Mr Trump, tear down this empire
