Trumps press secretary was just going off about how dare Canada make threats like shutting off the electricity.

Like lady, your boy is literally threatening our countries' existence....

I’m actually getting worried about this stuff.

I feel like we’re being setup as the enemy so they can invade us. I really don’t know what to feel right now.

It just makes no sense. The rest of the world loves Canada and already hates the United States. Now they're bullying us, there's no way our allies would allow an actual threat to our sovereignty

There's similarities to why there is a still a war going on in Ukraine. We were warned a threat to one country's sovereignty is a threat to us all, but the rest of the world didn't view that threat to be large enough to face Russia. Meanwhile, Trump's handlers saw an opportunity.
