4 more years of idiotic word salad, unless of course something stops that. I'm wishing for a stroke that leaves him speechless.

4 years of trump is the best case scenario. The reality is that the republicans will hold office for years to come. They aren't going anywhere after Trump.
If we get enough Democrats in 2026 we could impeach Trump and Vance.
Oh my fucking god I cannot
This is so goddamn exhausting already, and he's not even president yet. The next 4 years (if we're lucky) are going to take a decade off my life.
soon to be known as governor of Canada
I swear to god
He doesn’t even know how a Prime Minister gets the job, does he? (You’re elected to the House of Commons in your riding (district), you’re the head of your political party, and your party either wins a majority in the House or a wins plurality and you’re able to form a ruling coalition with another party.)
Buddy, he doesn't even know how the government works in his own country.
Did he say anything about his penis size?
Him saying it would be "fun to watch" clearly shows how he just sees politics as entertainment. He's god and the world is his theatre.
Him saying it would be "fun to watch" clearly shows how he just sees politics as entertainment.
And that he sees chaos as entertaining.
Which explains much of what he talks about.
Yes, that too. Since I was doing the God comparison, he's Loki
I’m going with a dvrgr, a Norse dwarf. There are hundreds in that pantheon and they are all vile creatures.
Loki isn't a moron though
Yeah I think this post is very telling. Not new information, of course, but it just says so much about how little this man understands (or cares to understand) what politics even is.
This is foreign interference!
Trump lets the world know about the one Canadian he can name without help.
This is the first time, as a Canadian kid in the 80s, I’ve wanted Wayne to throw gloves.
Gretzky has gone full fascist. That's why Trump wants him.
Wayne is a Republican through and through, he wouldn't do anything to Trump.
I bet that P Little Trump P is pretty butt hurt that daddy chose someone else instead of him.
Maple millhouse.
He would have to be the nominee for the party first.
Wait was Wayne Gretzky a rich kid?
Edit: of course, daddy built an entire rink in the backyard, where they would also play baseball and lacrosse on their farm.
It's not that impressive to be great when you start young and have rich parents. Can't believe I let people convince me Gretzky was noteworthy. He's not Gukesh lol
Edit: ok Canada must be different, because apparently Gretzky was poor and they just happened to have a farm and could spin up golf tournaments for charity. Sounds like a good story.
I knew a ton of farmers grown up, none of them were rich.
Also in Canada is pretty easy to build an ice rink.
Step 1: have any sort of decent size pond on your farm
Step 2: wait for winter
Makes sense, I read lacrosse and jumped to conclusions about the people they were. Well that, and his dad being a philanthropist... repair man? Working class guy who organized golf tournaments to help the blind.
I'm a few years older than Gretsky and things were different back then ...
-
we still had the Canadian Wheat Board, a collective that worked hard to get the best prices worldwide for Canadian farmer's crops (Conservative PM Harper sold the CWB to the Saudis and farmers lost a lot of money in that stupid deal)
-
Western Canada, and farmer's in general, had a huge voice in politicis. Government's generally worked for the benefit of farmers as they had a huge impact on Canada's GDP
-
in gr 5 farmer's kids started being bused into city schools, and I was amazed at how 'rich' they were compared to us city kids, ie: they went on holidays all over North America (most of us city kids hardly ever went anywhere), they wore store-bought clothes (city kid's moms made our clothing), etc etc
We had an ice rink in our yard and were poor. It doesn't cost money to make one haha
