Trump: would rather deal with a Liberal

[blackbird]

"

Move over Trudeau, Trump has a new choice to be Canada’s governor.

When it comes to who President Donald J. Trump would prefer to run America’s “51st state,” he’s made it clear Prime Minister Mark Carney would get his vote as Canadians wonder when they will get a chance to cast theirs.

As for Trump’s endorsement of Carney, Conservative Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre said it’s perfectly fine with him.

“I’d rather deal with a Liberal than a conservative,” the U.S. President told Laura Ingraham on FOX News Tuesday.

The polls, since Carney become Liberal leader on March 9, now indicate the landscape of voter support has gone from a big lead for the Conservatives to a neck and neck tie. And some polls now show the Liberals are actually surging ahead."

Here is your chance liberals.  Choose Carney and Trump will be glad to deal with him and get you a deal.  Not saying what kind of deal though.

The news report on CTV just said it: Trump prefers to deal with someone who is meek and gentle towards him because he is a bully and prefers to be able to bully people into doing things his way.  Carney fits that bill.  Pierre Poilievre not so much.  PP would stand up to Trump and Trump hates that.  Do we want more of a strong guard dog to deal with a bully or a sheep dog?

This is where PP's experience in fighting back against Trudeau and the Liberals in Parliament and out of Parliament will pay off.

You fell easily for the “reverse psychology” trick that Trump just learned.

Trump doesn't have the capacity for reverse psychology. He is not playing 4D chess, he is not a criminal mastermind, he's not that bright.

He doesn't care who runs Canada, he cares about winning. He knows it'll be easier to win with a liberal. And it's just as clear in his mind that endorsing a liberal would actually improve the liberals chances because he'll think that we want to hire someone that will be able to deal reasonably with him that he would prefer to deal with.

Everybody knows the liberals will be weaker dealing with trump, of course trump wants that outcome. But instead of coping with a simple truth you try and sell the idea that he's playing some sort of elaborate game. Childish

I don't know if Trump's statement is going to move the needle or not. Will this statement even get mentioned by the Canadian mainstream media? Progressives do not tend to listen to a variety of news sources.

I don't think it will have a huge impact in and of itself, but it may really put a damper on the liberal's ability to claim that poilievre is trump's man in Canada. They may be a lot more reluctant to spread that lie now

Trump would rather deal with Carney because Carney is somewhat famous,

Trump is all about making the headlines, keeping the attention on Trump at all times,

Carney is better for that than Poillievre

[ironstone]

I see now that the CBC actually did carry this story, but they still spin it by pointing out how Trump and PP are similar(putting their own countries first). 

Imagine the horror of a leader wanting to put his or her own country first!🙄

Yeah. The CBC knows they're going to get defunded if Poilievre wins. They were never ever going to be unbiased in this election but now they're going to double down on it.

The only people who fell for it are the same preple gullible enough to have been Trump supporters during the election. Like Cdnfaux and blackbird.

I don't recall supporting Trump before the election and always had my concerns about him. Nobody knew what his true agenda was until after the election or understood what his real plans were.  Who knew before the election that he was going to launch a trade war and think that would make sense?

😂 

Trump made a campaign promise to apply tariffs. If someone didn’t know he was going to do this, then they simply weren’t listening. 

[herbie]

He's angry PP didn't fall on his knees before him like a "Good Conservative".

You're right they sure as hell weren't listening, that's obvious.
However he made sure not to reveal the exact extent, the ultimate reasons for, or how they would be applied.

Maybe, but I wasn't advocating Trump on here anyway.  I wasn't involved the U.S. election or following every detail of what was going on there.  I am a Canadian and, like most people, I don't have time to follow everything in the U.S elections.

This is Canada, not the U.S. so why should we be listening to Trump? 

 We don't spend a lot of time paying attention to everything going on in the U.S.

You've out-dumbed yourself with that comment.

[WestCanMan]

Trump knows how fed up Canadians are with the Liberal misrule, it obviously helps Trump's cause if Canadians become even more divided than we already are.

Because, like any Conservative, PP is a Canadian, not a sellout.

Except Canadians are uniting in a shift away from a right wing brand that Trump personifies - Canadians are also wary of how it's spreading around the world and that's also causing our natural governing ideology to reassert itself.

[myata]

This is just an intelligence test, obviously. Can one really, genuinely be so dumb? Or just lying, not very convincingly? Only these two options are allowed by the laws of minimally sane logic. I honestly didn't know the former one was possible physically but sure, this is a large universe.

No, I outsmarted you.  I simple told you I don't spend my life following Trump and his politics.

How have Canadians been "right wing that Trump personifies"?   You are trying to make a false narrative about conservatives.  I told you to read the CPC policies on their website but you ignore and just make false statements instead.  There is nothing on there to tie the CPC to Trump or MAGA people.

Which one's? And what about the near universal narrative you apparently subscribe to that anyone who isn't a conservative is a Marxist commie globalist?

It's PP's supporters that tie him to Trump.  Sure there's lots of back peddling these days but not enough to make an appreciable dent in his hard core base.

PP hasn't distanced himself enough from the Freaker's Ball going on under the Big Conservative Tent and he's going to have to pander to it lest it keep moving in search of something more right wing.

It used to be more right wing Conservative parties only had to worry about the odd Randy White from beaking off about something stupid. It's ten times as bad now. A good third of his supporters are anti-vaxxers, people who subscribe to COVID authoritarianism and MSM paranoia conspiracies and of course MAGA.

If one doesn't believe in individual freedom and less government control, then one must believe in the opposite which is Socialism or Marxism.  Since you don't believe in conservative beliefs, you must believe in some form of Socialism or Marxism.  You either believe in individual freedom or you don't.  You either believe in less government control or more.  Not difficult to grasp.
