This is the sort of "fox and grapes" level cope that drives me nuts. "President Trump is so powerful and his 4D Chess is so good..." Give me a break. Donald Trump has many worthwhile qualities that America needs right now. Strategic thinker with a long term attention span is not one of them.
I do agree that the Canadian Liberal comeback is only partly Trump's fault. If you look at the polling, Poilievre's numbers were flat the whole time, but the Liberals improves greatly once they dumped Trudeau. But Trump's "51st state crap" did nothing to help.
"President Trump follows an America First agenda, and if a politician doesn’t align with it, then President Trump is under no obligation to help them." One of the reasons I voted for Trump was because Harris was truly terrifying. Perhaps I should have used your logic, "since Trump doesn't align with my agenda, I have no obligation to help him." The reality is there were 2 parties running in Canada. One of them thinks Trump is Hitler and will reflexively oppose everything MAGA attempts to do; the other is only opposed to about half of it. And Trump helped get the former elected. (Reminds me of the GA Senate election when he told MAGA to stay home.)
Stop mainlining the Kool-Aid, man. He can be the right person to be President but still be wrong about stuff.
Trumps 51st state comments sucked all the political air out of the room and pushed Ontario and Quebec voters to vote for the Liberals. It’s important to understand that Canada is actually two countries: 1) eastern Canada that tends to vote Liberal , and 2) western Canada that tends to vote Conservative. The bulk of the population is in the east so how they vote determines who has power in Ottawa. It is basically like the US without an electoral college. The west votes conservative and gets a Liberal government - over and over again. The most direct consequence of the last election will be a referendum on succession from the Canada federation in Alberta and possibly Saskatchewan as well within the next two years. Stay tuned.
You know the saying "keep your friends close, but keep you enemies closer." That's what Trump did. It isn't 4D chess; it's basic political instinct.
It will be easier to take a tough stance against a liberal Canadian government. Carney won't be able to pull a fast one on us.
Canada has runaway spending on the public sector that would make Illinois blush. I predict lots of young Canadians will try to flee to the US for a better life as they realize they will face a life of draconian taxes and social repression with only a death pod waiting for them at retirement.
We're going to have to carefully vet them to keep out the reds and freeloaders.

You have too appropriate thing to say to use hard to read white on black formatting. Flashy gets attention, but rapidly glows tedious.
