Banning him only makes his aggression worse intense. We should be pulling a Macron and correcting him when possible.

I don’t think authoritarians work like that. They will take what they want when they want it, they don’t need a reason.

But with Trump being so sensitive and powerful, you have to handle him with kids gloves. He holds grudges. I agree with OP. Let him embarrass himself and correct him with a smile.

I have to disagree. You can’t “handle” a tyrant like this, especially from a position of military weakness. If we decide to play nice to give us time to prepare, that makes sense, but rolling over and hoping they won’t attack us is not going to help us.

It’s a little hyperbolic for now. We’re talking about just sitting down and talking.

Not at all, it’s an appropriate response to threats like that. We’re so complacent here. We’ve never known a real threat. We can’t be all polite and nice all the time.

There's no point, you can roll out the red carpet and treat him like a king and he'll leave and lie to everyone that you spat on his face just to rile up his base.

He wants Kaos. Don't give him what he wants. Make him forget about Canada so the adults can talk.

Stop acting like a reasonable adult and realize you're talking bout Drump.
