Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.
Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.
Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.
Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.
More leaders should taunt Trump, his toddler responses will make him more unpopular.
I happen to believe his toddler responses are what makes him popular.
It’s only sad if you think about it.
Would have been a better win without that trump supporting trashbag Gretzky being involved
What???
He was also at the trump inauguration party wearing a maga hat
Fuckin hell what a tool.
We used to think so highly of him when we were kids.
Honestly probably not a good idea. Trump is petty and vindictive.
It’s plays excellently for the domestic audience, and making Trump stop being mean was never an option.
So far, I haven’t heard any response at all from Trump.
Trudeau is retiring, it doesn’t matter. And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won’t happen? Seriously?
And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won’t happen?
Knowing Trump, yeah, probably.
Jeez we have rolling 30 day delays in tariff wars. Trump is stupid in lots of ways but you/he doesn’t lose sight of being slighted that quickly. How long was it between Obama mocking him at the dinner and him running for president? Lot more than 12 hours.
I see little chance that was the only reason for running, and the people he doesn’t like tend to slight him a lot - far more than he could keep track of even if he was intellectually normal. By all appearances, the input -> brain -> shitpost/order chain on the guy is very short and fast.
He could have fired back and said “now it’s 50%”, I guess. It’s also possible someone will remind him. Either way, I don’t think it will resonate as a huge mistake a year from now.
Edit: Hello, stumbled upon this looking for something else 8 months on. It’s forgotten, except maybe in the case the Blue Jays win at baseball now. I was wrong about how much Trump likes the new guy, though!
If he really wanted to show trump he’d have allied with Mexico to prioritize both their sea trade routes and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
Instead he tried to appease fascists, which never fucking works.
As Snotty Nose Rez Kids love to say:
Fuck Justin Trudeau
Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol
and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?
I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.
Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?
Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
That’s not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it’s definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.
My bad, I forgot “moderates” the world over pretend there’s no way to plan ahead and when something happens there’s no time to react properly…
It’s all bullshit, I just forgot a moderate will show up to repeat the same lie.
At least it takes longer on lemmy than other social media.
You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn’t happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.
it still wouldn’t happen instantly
And if you look up you may be able to catch a glimpse of “the point” waaaaaaaaay up there as it passes over your head.
But your gonna have to ask someone else to point it out next time buddy
I was going to say Trudeau should call him “vice president trump” to point out how subservient he is to musk but… I guess that is why there is the “governor” rhetoric. Like always, it is fascists projecting. trump might only be a VP in his own admin but that is still better than a governor and all that stupidity.
