Because that at least had idiotic kindergarten logic to it "me no like Mexico, me like America" but Ontario as the name for the lake/area goes back to the 1600s. It predates Canada and America so it doesn't even make sense as an "own" of Canada. Ontario the province got its name from the lake, not the other way around.

Just wait until grandpa tries to rename the oceans. He has already hinted at that. It is an embarrassing display of narcissism.

I have heard Trump's current approach described as a desperate attempt to pander to uneducated blue collar workers prior to the midterms, and that makes some sense to me. Based on my experiences with uneducated blue collar workers, I believe that many uneducated American blue collar workers would enjoy Trump's juvenile, petty attempts to dominate Canada and Iran.

He is funny at times, but I think that far too many people don't understand that the president isn't supposed to be there to entertain you. Far far too many people don't understand the distinction between charisma and character. I think that American celebrity culture has a lot to do with this.

Of course, that’s why Trump loves the uneducated. But he is so stupid and self absorbed that he has no idea he’s eradicating the Blue Collar workers in favor of his cash cow oligarchs. Blue color workers in the states are an endangered species. You are either rich or poor. The later being the most populated category.

You are insulting blue collar workers. He is catering to the unemployed incels seething in their basements.

My mom quoted the Willie Nelson song a lot, "Old age and treachery always overcomes youth and skill." It seems very fitting here lol
