It was painful for me to watch this meeting. The only take away that really stood out for me was how smart and politically savvy your PM is compared to the person sitting next to him spouting outlandish insults and lies and truly appearing delusional. Well done, Mr Carney!

Trump is an embarrassment and criminal and liar.

Yea for Canada and Prime Minister Carney.

When doesn't Trump lie?

Dave Hopkins's avatar

Never. He’s genetically incapable of telling the truth.

Painful to watch although I did enjoy Carney doing the "explain like I'm five" to Trump about Canada not being for sale.

Luxury Store, not going to get ripped off anymore, ok Trump's insane, he can't act as a leader with Carney, Carney blew him away cognitively, Carney is a international leader who does not need Trump and his downhill games with idiotic tariff scam. On MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell just laughed at Trump's ignorance about tariffs where the US citizen pays for the tax and Trump thinks the countries pays for it, it laughable and embarrassing, it's a disgrace that he is a President, he has lost his mind! He wants to be a dictator like Putin, and OMB director is enabling this shift from Democracy to One man takeover of the congress and judiciary of the US. The Supreme Court. He is not obeying the courts and their demands, so pay attention to what he does not what he says!

Remember Bill Barr and the “unitary executive.” This was their goal for 45 and now accomplished for 47. Yes, a one man takeover on behalf of the Heritage Foundation

I totally enjoyed seeing President Wrecktum being kicked in the nuts by Prime Minister Carney!

I’m so happy for Canada!

Mark Carney is Wonderful.

Thank you for your coverage.

Trump is a bad host. First poor Zelenskyy was literally thrown out of his office. And now Carney had to endure a man who has no limits to his deceptions and is such a blowhard huckster that anyone with any gravitas, who is a seriously credible leader can only look on hopelessly as Carney was forced to do, to an elected buffoon who commands and furthers the insanity of the people who voted him in. Trump sucks up all the oxygen in the room spouting his madness.

PM Carney was outstanding in the golden office. His consistent steady hand/no drama/no lies shows up the orange toddler who wants to make the USA into Selfridge’s 🤦‍♀️

I really don't understand how anyone in the media in that room can NOT stand up and say "Wait. I'm sorry, and excuse me, but that isn't an answer." And that's being nice. To hear the silence while Dementia Donny Two-Dolls rambles on for minutes on end, then the tittering when he thinks he's being funny isn't just annoying, it's downright terrifying.

I am SO thankful that Carney won. I voted for his party, and that's the only sword I can wield in this fight.

Mark Carney is the man!

That water to CA comment was all about when he forced some CA dams in Northern CA, well after the fires, to open their gates in January when none of that water could be utilised and thus wasted millions of gallons of water plus flooded some farmers fields. Just another idiotic display by the brainless evil git.

Trump represents the Evil Empire, he is actually a straw man, it’s the behind the scenes Heritage Foundation Nazis.

As far as I remember, Trump did give California lots of water. Brilliantly, he gave it from California's own reservoirs and in the north, meaning that it couldn't reach the south where it was needed to put the fires out, with the added bonus that it wouldn't be around when it was really needed in the north this summer for Californian agriculture. Pure Trump brilliance. As brilliant as everything else he's done since becoming president. Well, I suppose that at least the MAGA halfwits think it's brilliant.

I watched this and in retrospect I believe Dump has a hearing problem. That may be part of the reason he rambles on and on - he has no idea what anyone is saying. That and he's a malignant narcissistic nut job. His body language was subservient. My cats do this - he is leaning away and is slightly lowering his body. It's saying please don't attack me. Dump was prey to Carney as predator.

I think the reporters wanted to crank trump up, expecting a show. They kept asking him questions about anything else but the reason why Mr. Carney was there. Mr. Carney’s calmness and composure was top notch and certainly helped keep the temperature low. Also, I think trump respected Mr. Carney because he’s a billionaire.

Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if Canada agreed to become the 51st state? Republicans would invoke the 25th amendment so fast it would make your head spin, and Trump's base would be fine with it. After decades of Republicans calling Canadians communists, a lot of Americans (the stupid ones) absolutely despise us.

Some trivia- Canada OWNS about $351 billion of US debt (treasury bonds) as if whenever the data was there for AI to pull up ;)
