Trump's Stunningly Positive Reaction To Call With New Canadian PM Mark Carney

[Swede]

I trust Trump as much as truckstop sushi, but WTF happened in 24 hours.

1. With tRump having the attention span of a knat, it's really the last person who talks to him.

Just try to be the last one to put something in his empty head and make sure you stroke that insecure fragile ego of his and you'll be good to go.

Thanks MAGA for giving us a complete simpleton as president.

[Think. Again.]

2. I guess Carney's recent VERY CLEAR statement...

...on the changed US/Canadian relationship scared little donnie a bit.

3. I think this guy nailed it.

Trump’s whole “Canada is taking advantage of us” tirade is all to do with Trudeau being younger and sexier. Now that there is an old guy taking charge, Rump’s ego can relax.

4. Danielle Smith

The MAGAt Premier of Alberta and frequent Mar-a-Lago visitor asked Team Trump to cool it with the talking crap about Canada 🇨🇦

At least until they can get her boy Pierre P elected Prime Minister..

8. That was before continued tRump bellicosity against Canada, so it had little effect but was kind of traitorous

In other words, I think tRump's team was unable to comprehend her strategy or were unable to make tRump understand or were unable to reach tRump on the point. So I don't think Steele was as effective as she hoped when she sold out and she may have actually damaged the Conservative brand by linking herself and Mr. P to tRump so effectively.

If his team did get to tRump and get him to understand, maybe once the phone call was scheduled, he may have shot himself in his foot by shooting Pierre "insert slogan" Poilievre in the foot too. Mr. P now faces a further strengthened Carney after this reversal because it very much looks like his speech and his phone call tamed the orange beast. Who knows what was actually said, but Carney, PhD., certainly got a result. Any reverse psychological swing in Poilievre's favour is outweighed by the positive impression Carney made on everyone involved.

It highlights another aspect of tRump psychology sometimes remarked on. Publicly he is either for you "bigly" or belittling and bullying you. Not much in the middle. Now he spoke of the call as if it were with a chum arranging a two-family barbecue.

5. The markets are tanking.

The High Maintenance Mussolini needs Canada to play his tit-for-tat game. Which they apparently have no patience for.

6. What happened? Carney Happened. Carney made a resolute short speech at a press conference the day before

He probably carried the same calm resolute tone into the phone call.

7. Somehow as with everything psycho I doubt it will last for long

10. One thing we know is that tRump is very committed to tariff tax revenue to divert to the rich

But it was amazing that when he spoke of the phone call, he started in on his usual shyster line about every other country is unfair but then caught himself in the nick of time and specifically excluded Canada from the list.

11. Funny 😹

I don’t listen to news or him anymore except for very small things here and there- if he’s on, I just turn the sound off, etc. or change the channel so I didn’t hear it.

13. The sum curation of news and analysis here at DU is tremendous and I depend on it for efficiency

I now have good optic fibre digital with "channels" too, but I rarely watch them, DU is that good.

9. Who knows? Maybe it was as simple as complimenting Trump's hairstyle?

The is no rationality, no reason, no sense to his capricious whims.

12. Truckstop sushi? WTF?

Eeeeeeeekkk!

[wolfie001]

14. The ONLY REASON he changed his tone was because the Dow was down 600-700 points!!!

No other reason. He's a stupid f6ck filled with hate, rage and racism. Just like all those that voted for him.

15. He's love bombing them now that they are walking away from the relationship.

Shitty abusive narcissistic partner 101
