Trump calls the US-Canada border an "artificially drawn line", in what seems like one of the most dumbfounding statements the "build the wall" president could possibly utter.

But which probably isn't, because it's Trump.

You know what happened when I ignored the bully in school? I got bullied more.

You know what happened when I popped him in the mouth? He stopped.

The more he gets told to fuck off, by more people, the less likely this becomes normalized.

You don't let bullies run their mouth.

Ok, pop him in the mouth. Metaphorically, or actually. Please. I'd pay money to see it.

The problem is that he isn't the bully. He's the annoying kid who hangs around the bully acting tough and starting shit. He runs his mouth, gets attention, and when the fighting starts he hides behind a dumpster until it's over. There's no winning an argument with Trump, because he goal is to lure you into an argument.

Nothing would be more satisfying than to see him get his comeuppance, but I don't believe that's going to happen anymore. I had hopes, and we've had ample opportunities, but there are too many shitty Americans who are willing to let him get away with his bullshit.

Someone popped him in the ear. It didn't help.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He smacked his ear on a secret service guy's leg. The bullet didn't get that close.

Yeah, you just described a bully that happens to be a coward like all bullies.

You aren't making any case against that.

And he should have faced consequences already, but the morons down south seem to like bullies.

Apathy and deflection of responsibility is acceptance.

This isn't the same though. Trump called Trudeau a Governor by accident and got a pretty big response out of that. All of a sudden these ideas of making Canada a state popped into his head and he keeps posting it because it gets attention. If we had've just ignored him he wouldn't get traction.

We pretty much need a law in Canada that says stop publishing Trump stories.

I don't think it was an accident, and the fact he wasn't immediately shut down told him he could keep doing it.

We don't need a censorship law about trump. He's the president elect of our neighbour, who happens to be a superpower.

Stop trying to ignore the bastard.
