Canadian PM, Mark Carney, Disabuses Trump of the Idea That Canada Would Rape Easy

Here's the conversation, which reveals one thing clearly: Trump is a narcissist devoid of the slightest intellectual heft. His arguments for a US takeover of Canada are not even childish, they are inane. The border between the countries, he states, is a straight line, as if that established the need for union. He then follows this vacuity by saying that the map of a US:Canadian Union would make a pretty picture. This pretence of an argument he then seeks to reinforce with the further irrelevance that "I'm a very artistic person." Yeah, and so was Adolph Hitler, who could actually paint, while dreaming of territorial expansion.

History, Carl Marx said, repeats, first as tragedy then as farce. The first time with Adolph it was certainly a tragedy. It's to be hoped that this time, with Trump, it remains only a farce.

Carney responded to the American President's outburst of threatening drivel with subtle firmness. Canada, he made clear, would never ever be American.

Bravo, but Canada should up its defense budget. Who knows, Canadians may have to fight for their national survival sooner than they had ever expected, against a foe they had never imagined.

And DJT wants a piece of Palestinian land too.
