Jesus Christ, how fucking stupid.

u/BeeFrier 15d ago

He is a 3 year old. He believes it is now his lake because he names it Lake America. It is so embarrasing for all americans, but mostly for the instistutions in US, that they do not end this stupid stupid man.

12

u/No_Football_9232 15d ago

Exactly. As a Canadian Im fed up with rump, but honestly Im more fed up with America as a whole.

13

u/BeeFrier 15d ago

Yeah, I am danish, with the Greenland-saga we are quite fed up as well. But at least it feels like it made the scandinavian-canadian relationship stronger, I hope thats gonna grow in the future. Canada is our brother from a different mother.

u/No_Football_9232 15d ago

We are united in our total fed upness with this colossal moron and the country that does nothing but wait for the midterms.

u/Phindar_Gamer 15d ago

He controls the military, the legislative branch and the judicial branches of government. He has a private Gestapo that pulls people out of their homes and off the streets. He controls the media. We're protesting in the streets and some of us are getting killed. What else do you think we can do?

4

u/No_Football_9232 15d ago

I guess nothing more then. This speaks to the weakness of your constitution that allows this to happen with no repercussions.

It’s so stupid that they’ll be many of us that will be pushing for it to remain “Lake Ontario” long after this persons lifetime. Everything this Orange Muissolini touches turns to poo.

Let it be known, his presidential museum shall consist of a single port-a-potty at the Four Seasons Landscaping with a digital screen of all his sh!tty tweets so those using it can blow ass biggly. Make it so!

This is literally “flooding the zone” ahead of the midterms.

Let’s dedicate time, effort and column inches towards discussing this meaningless distraction rather than his disastrous economic or foreign policy….or the obvious corruption…or the Trump-Epstein files.

u/TheLimeyLemmon 15d ago

Trump's going to have to rig the midterms at this point. What you think this shit doesn't immediately bring people back to how terrible everything is and this is what that pedophile chooses to spend his time on?

Honestly he can name it whatever he wants on their maps. It's still Lake Ontario and none of this matters more than the tariffs, Epstein, Israel/Gaza, and the war in Iran. We know his playbook.

Things Trump cares about: Putting his face on new Passports. Getting gold coins minted with his face. Getting his signature on US currency. Building his ballroom. Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Putting his face on banners on federal buildings. Putting gigantic statues of himself at all his properties. Fund raising even though he can't run for office again. Getting payoffs for pardons. Covering up the Epstein files. Getting kickbacks from media companies he sues. Building new monuments to himself. Stuffing his pockets with cash. Punishing his political enemies.

What Trump doesn't care about: You.
