MODERATORS
He makes a horizontal motion with his hand, signifying a limit, while saying there’s "a cap, we capped, a hard line" and then is heard telling Trump, "I thought you’d actually like that."
Trump, sitting, responds, "That’s good. I like that."
He's so fucking easy to manipulate.
That's exactly what's happening here.
No longer a secret that world leaders are basically being taught how to manipulate him before meetings. That's how low the US has fallen. They're getting guides that are basically explaining how to get a toddler to do what you want them to do.
Those psychologists are worth 300 billion it seems
Except it's true, he caved hard to Trump.
Any US leader would be happy with it, it was to appease to Canadians who don't pay attention, the US, and Tesla at the same time.
Don't forget the auto industry, people who work in the auto industry, and China hawks.
Like, sure, it's a very guarded concession to China, but US pressure is hardly the only motivation for that.
Canada doesn't have an auto industry. The US uses Canada as a colony for cheap cars that they can sell back to us.
However many thousand auto workers would disagree. As would a look at margins on auto manufacturing, and the difference between US and Canadian prices.
Which of those thousands of auto workers don't work for an American company/for the American market?
Except it’s true, he caved hard to Trump.
Not just Trump, but the conservative half of Canada. And he "caved" by re-instating the same cap that was there before anyway…
Conservative Canadians are pro-crown or pro-Quebec not pro-American. Not denying that there are American agents here, but denying their Canadianism.
Conservative Canadians are pro-crown or pro-Quebec not pro-American.
Even if I were to entertain this, my point still stands. The Canadian Conservatives that aren’t American bootlickers are still disproportionately anti-China because they still feed from the same propaganda.
Some Conservatives. Maple MAGA is like 50% of Conservative voters (or party members? I forget now), with the other half being the old-fashioned kind.
There's differences within parties, and similarities across them. Although Lemmy, like any good partisan, tends to ignore that.
Every time I see a picture of someone explaining something to Trump, it looks like Trump is pretending to pay attention and absorbing nothing.
It looks that way because it is that way.
Yeah he rarely has ever seemed to understand anything but a benefit to himself. The magat morons think he's a genius too.
he rarely has ever seemed to understand anything but a benefit to himself.
Which is exactly why Carney phrased it thay way.
It's really hard for a sack of shit to retain more than it's smell.
