Mark Carney taking on Trump

425 replies

RedHot2025 · 10/03/2025 16:03

Fighting talk from Mark Carney today. He will win the trade war with America. Blames Trump entirely for this trade war.

He will apply from today 25% surcharge on energy to the 3 US states they supply. Means around 100 dollars per month per family in those states.

Trump is a buffoon as well as a bully and people will not tolerate his actions.

Does Trump have dementia?

Or is he thick as shite?

YABU he's just thick

YANBU he has dementia

Can't choose as I think both are true.

RedHot2025 · 10/03/2025 16:10

What a stupid post I've made.

Trump thick, not Carney!

Interesting to see that different countries or individuals are coming back at Trump. Not everyone rolls over to bullies, thankfully

I don't think he's either. I think he believes in what he's doing and has the country behind him. Like all autocrats, he's surrounded by sycophants.

He's doing what he said he would do if elected OP.

Fair comment.

I should have thought a little more prior to posting a thread. Trump is such a buffoon, bulky, madman, his policies make no sense. Has surrounded himself with similar men though.

I'm having a weird day 😂😂

I think he's both thick as shite and also has dementia so hopefully 50:50 split 🙄

RedHot2025 · 10/03/2025 16:16

Heck, I called him 'bulky' that was supposed to read bully 🙄 oops 😬

Although, he's rather bulky too.

I think there's a way of having 3 options, so dementia, thick or both, but that would confuse things at this stage!!

I think it’s Doug Ford putting the levy on electricity since he’s the ON premier.

As a Canadian (living in the U.K.) I repeat myself often with this point but it should be noted that the boycotts everyone is seeing from Canadians has more to do with Trump threatening a sovereign country with annexation than it does the tariffs.

RedToothBrush · 10/03/2025 16:20

The trouble is Mark Carney is solid existing establishment. And there are issues with poor management, chronism and too many people who have been promoted to protect the status quo rather than do the right thing.

And Trump is trying to establish a new establishment in which discrediting the old establishment is the goal with a view to replacing it.

Carney very much ticks the boxes that Trump WANTS to highlight.

It's Brexit v not Brexit.

Logic doesn't necessarily work.

Carney best have learnt on this argument.

Yes he's thick as shite. Just look at the things he says, doesn't sound statesman like at all, or even like an educated normal person. He was never a 'successful business man' as they tried to spin it ihn 'The Apprentice', he took the company his father had built and managed to get it into trouble many times apparently.

At 79,yes he could well be starting to get dementia. He seems almost unhinged and to have deteriorated over the years.

He's also just a vile man, and a liar. Evil really, but sadly he has managed to hoodwink a lot of the dumber Americans. But with his lack of intelligence I do wonder if he is just a puppet for more sinister forces behind the scenes.

I feel so sorry for all the decent Americans of which there are many, who never wanted this.

Well I've managed to confuse myself. 🙄Having 3 options might be better.

I think I need a lie down. I wish Trump would have a lie down.

Lie down, but not with me of course! 🙄 yuck no idea how his wife copes

It's a risky move from Carney.

Yes he is standing up to Trump and being confrontational. But Trump has far more power in terms of economics and Canada are on their own.

To date most of the middle sized countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy etc) are appeasing Trump and trying to work with him rather than taking a confrontational position against him.

My guess is Carney will either end up as a hero or the idiot who ended up trashing his country in a battle he could not possibly win. We will see which.

No option to vote for both??

He tells a constant stream of lies and can't remember what he said from one minute to the next.

monsterfish · 10/03/2025 16:26

Trump will say whatever suits his argument- does not need to be true or factually correct. He is the definition of a psychopath.

@RedHot2025 I love all your updates! This is 100% how my brain works too 😁

Sorry its either all, but I agree, could be both, probably is, definitely at least one of the above though
