International News Donald Trump ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

If the moron takes over Canada, does the USA become part of the commonwealth ๐Ÿ˜‚ making the King king of USA.
 
He wants Canada.

Would be great news for the Democrats.

40 million lefties joining the voter pool? They could forget about Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and still not lose another Presidential or House election for a generation!

(Trump doesn't care because he won't be on the ballot, but there's a hilarious number of articles now being written by Republicans about why making Canada the 51st state would be a very bad idea for them!)

Canada will likely vote conservative in their election later this year. Mark Carneyโ€”yes, that oneโ€”might win power with the liberals, but he's their only hope. I actually think Trump is doing wonders for the liberals' previously-non-existant chances of keeping power over there; they'll want to defy him and his ideals, and will also trust Carney with their economy.

The Boycott America movement is gaining traction, and even if the UK are full of lazy armchair warriors not willing to harness their consumer power, much of Europe will, especially if those EU tariffs come in.

Sure, but Canadian conservative is not the same thing as 2025 US Republican conservative!
 
Latest on the Don is now saying he wants the IS to take over Gaze and want Jordan and Egypt to take the 1.8 million Palestinians and he wants a beautiful place built in Gaza for the people of the world.
Short of using force with live ammunition along with trying to get Canada to be part of the USA smell very much like what Hitler wanted. What a daft t**t the Don isโ€ฆ..

Yep . . Right Wing populism is a very slippery slope. Take note UK!

US would be breaking International Law, but I don't think they* give a f**k about that.

*fully appreciate it's Trump and the rest of the MAGA lizards . . . but he (and they) represents the WHOLE of the US now . . . . they've made their bed and the rest of us are unfortunately going to have to lie in it.
 
At what point do we think the world authorities will start drafting an international arrest warrant for Trump? Is it โ€˜onlyโ€™ for genocide or can megalomaniac imbeciles get considered too?
 
Just a question hereโ€ฆ..
if you tell the world that you are going to impose tariffs on a country I.e. Canada, lump a load of money in the market reflecting that then pull the plug on the tariffs, could you make an absolute fortune?

I realise that although he is immune from any prosecution whilst president of the United States Mr Trump would never contemplate any insider trading like thisโ€ฆโ€ฆ.

Of course, you can make money in the global markets in so many ways, especially futures markets.

Worse than that, from what I understand it is one of the perks of being a us senator/rep that you can legally make investment decisions based on your privileged knowledge. So, feature not bug.

Not sure that's true - check out the STOCK (or Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act of 2012. Pretty sure that prohibits insider trading by all members of Congress (up to and including the President).

Now the enforcement of the STOCK Act is a whole other question......but just because the policing is crap, doesn't make something legal.

Who are the "world authorities" exactly?, of course Trump shoots from the hip but not sure he deserves an arrest warrant, especially from any organisation that actually thinks they are worthy of that accolade.

Yeah, but we all know Trump gets everyone else to do his dirty work...and I'm guessing it wouldn't apply to the world's number one (and richest) unelected bureaucrat or his minions either๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

There is literally an X account dedicated to tracking Nancy Pelosi's activity in the stock market, she is incredibly successful.

Oh, I'm not arguing that insider trading by members of Congress doesn't happen (and Pelosi and her husband are seemingly very good at it). Just saying that it IS illegal.

So if the Justice Department could prove that one of these trades was dependent on non-public information that Pelosi held as a consequence of being a US Representative, they could go after her for it (and, knowing Trump, they likely would)
