The US' most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don't need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.

I would rather fucking die.
Canadians, they just want your chickens and eggs.
Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!
He needs to find a more productive obsession that's much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.
I miss the good old days when he just obsessed about fucking his daughter instead of my country.
Or take up painting.
So Trump is cool with Canadians moving to the USA and getting a job?
They don't have to! We just want the dirt part of Canada.
Just like he wants the dirt part of Gaza. The people should move on to magical lands such as Greenland, Blue land, but most preferably brown land south.
Well this shit is likely not helping american military moral, which is good since this war will be rough and Canada needs every advantage/deserter available.
I do not want to see my military try to engage in any kind of combat with the hockey playing back to back war crime champs up north.
Imagine the whole world boycott United States of Gilead
"Canadians must surrender or die" - Future news from 2027
Bold of you to assume it takes so long.
Canada, this guy ain't gonna learn until you burn it down a second time.
With the help of American military.
Imagine being so stupid as to vote for little d over the price of eggs and getting a war with Canada.
We won’t stop fighting against Trump until he is absorbed into the ground.
He'd better not come in my yard or I'll put him there.
Hopefully carney is up to the task of getting us new trade relations soon.
In case people don’t realize. Canada shares an Arctic border with Russia and Russia is trying to take Canadian land and regularly crosses into our waters to steal resources. It is of benefit to Putin for Canada to be weak and distracted by Trump, since Trump works for Putin, it’s very clear why he’s doing this
We need our own nuclear force.
How would that help?
Next thing you know, we'll start intercepting their maritime vessels and press-gang their sailors.
He bends over for putin all the time. Strange...
Is it really that strange to you?
Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.
Have these random programs actually helped Americans?
To my naive view, would America not he better served with a far more progressive tax system, in lieu of spending these large sums to foreign countries and various agencies that squander what could be given to the poor?
In what world is giving the poor more money directly not he an effective means of raising their standard of living, which should be the main point of a progressive government?
Maybe, but that’s not what he’s doing. He’s raising taxes on the poor while cutting social programs and not giving anyone but billionaires money.
I genuinely thinks he also wants to annex canada though
It’s very interesting that he is criminalizing climate change, while seeking to take over the lands that would benefit from climate change.
There’s another fella across the ocean that is accelerating climate change because it will benefit his country.
Great take. I agree. We know this from Project 2025. Keep an eye on it but don't let it distract. Trump and cronies are using a strategy coined flood the zone to prevent coordinated opposition against them in politics and media.
