    Pitting Canada against the USA is a tactic designed by people smarter than Trump. Obviously. It’s working on millions of citizens of both countries, including you. Don’t be ashamed. It wasn’t Trump that manipulated you.

    He’s just setting things up for the invasion of Canada. Fentanyl, cartel, none of this is real. The idea probably comes from Putin.

      I personally think the whole Fent stuff is bs. Like cops od’ing if they even touch the pill with barehands and shit. If that was the case then the people who have trouble swallowing pills who take Fent we should just tell them just hold it in your hand for a little bit. I have literally been putting pills in a bottle and drop one on our medical plate pick it up with barehands and toss it in the bottle. Never got high or even a buzz.

    Just a friendly reminder too that a 2015 report from the ATF found that 71% of the guns the cartels use are bought in the United States and carried south across the border. The United States is just as complicit in the rise of cartel related crime as the cartels themselves!

    I’m not gonna touch the insane ramblings of the Cheeto, but I will remind you that the oceans exist and you can very easily take a boat from Mexico to Canada without ever entering the US if you wanted to.

    Cartels have boats, but no one’s shipping drugs up to Canada just to smuggle them south: They just get shipped directly to the US

    Trump is just making up an excuse to justify cutting off trade with Canada.

    Really, the whole fentanyl thing seems like scaremongering: People do overdose on it, but you won’t die from touching it or inhaling trace quantity. It’s not even the most potent opioid known, not even close to it.

      It’s fascist ploy to make friends fight over shit that probably doesn’t exist from the start. We’re all being played.

    You’re trying to apply conventional logic to the orange one. That doesn’t work. Stop doing that. It’s all about his frail ego, flooding the zone with bs, denying everything and never giving in, and blaming everybody else for stuff he’s done.

    And just to give the poor, battered, beleaguered, ever-so-stable leader a break, there are sea lanes and flight routes available to the cartels as well. They didn’t have to go through the US (but probably did).

    bold of you to assume he thoroughly thinks out half his comments. hell, one time he proposed banning guns to stop school shootings, which republicans said democrats would do as a reason to vote red for years, and every trump-supporting gun owner was down bad for it. but it never happened
