For someone who purports to be a fierce advocate for respecting borders, the unhinged and lawless Malignant Fascist doesn't follow his own beliefs when it comes to our great northern neighbor Canada. Recently, in his continued bizarre, aggressive and harmful statements and actions toward Canada, he's threatened to erase and redraw the current border for the Great Lakes illegally and in violation of the treaty that established it in 1908. From Canada's National Post:
"Trump wants what we have, said Jack Cunningham, an assistant professor of International Relations at the University of Toronto’s Trinity College.
He wants us under his thumb, an 'economic satellite' of the United States. For Trump, all treaties and agreements are up for debate. America had its proponents of a similar 'commercial union' in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
'Basically, what they wanted was a set of economic arrangements where Canada would be reduced to a storehouse of raw materials for what was then the emerging American industrial economy,” Cunningham told the Star. 'I think Trump would like something along those lines.'
'Though, since he’s an utter ignoramus, he doesn’t really understand the economics or the history.'” (our emphasis)
Add this to his mindless, dangerous "Gulf of America" / annexing Greenland / seizing the Panama Canal / turning Gaza into a Trumpian resort nonsense, embodying the fevered imperial dreams of a sleazy real estate con artist.
He's turning so many of our allies against us for no reason except for some petty personal grievance or imagining. In doing so, he's advancing the foreign goals of his benefactor, Russia, who wants to see NATO dismantled, our allies alienated, and a corrupt alliance established with the U.S. to carve up the world into spheres of influence where the U.S. is weaker and its influence limited. Thus, his backstabbing of Canada and our other allies, by extension, is actually a treasonous backstabbing of America.
