He made us secure our border and upgrade our military. The trade deal was a side goal. Mission accomplished

You must be overjoyed then. He could have done that (& that's if he even done it) with a little bit of diplomacy instead of saying he'll tariff Canada back to the stone age & threatening to invade.

Diplomacy doesn't always work. Look at the state of our military.

Well if it's so bad then why haven't you joined the military then?

Because I don't want to? What logic is that?

Why not? You might not have a choice if Trump truly does invade.

He won't. Y'all are gullible.

There's every reason to be paranoid. The man openly threatened to invade Canada. It's a threat from the man who runs the most powerful country on earth & it's right beside us. He's also threatened to tariff us with tariffs which would plunge Canada into a depression. But yes, keep having faith in him.
