But we made a CZAR! A CZAAAAR~!
This is why you don’t give bullies an inch. EU trade deals can’t come quick enough.
We didn't make a czar, we are changing the title of a position that already exists. Just because Trump is a bully doesn't mean he can't be placated by sweet nothings that caress his ego.
If Trump wants to play a game, we can play too. If you think that's rolling over, that's a you problem. Trump is obviously using this situation to allow him to declare a false national emergency to bypass Congress. These actions are technically illegal under both US and international law.
In a world where lying had consequences, this wouldn't be happening. To expect Trudeau to fight back aggressively against a nation with the most powerful military in the world while it's controlled by the most volatile and capricious politician in modern history is to expect it to rain cream soda - i.e., it's stupid.
I doubt we are even changing his title. We just need a name for when they ask who it is.
It appears the sarcasm in my czar lament wasn’t apparent.
Without sarcasm, I do think Trump is making a game or a joke out of threatening our sovereignty because of his size and military advantage.
His miscalculation is that he isn’t an emperor… yet. Economic consequences to tariffs on Americans will eventually become unpopular enough that republican reps and senators will collectively twist his arm to back down by taking away their rubber stamping. The rumblings are already happening.
Let's hope that US senators and congresspeople can give the wittle baby a big new idea to distract him from starting WW3 in a way that minimizes collective suffering.
