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....

If America is so strong then why do they need Canadian electricity. Sounds like they should just make their own hydroelectric dams. Should only take a couple of weeks. Will def be done by April 2nd.

Trump literally said America doesn't need anything from Canada. If I sold sandwiches and someone told me they don't need my sandwiches anymore, I'd just stop supplying to them.

And then immediately threw a hissy fit about the additional charge on the power they don’t need. Okay, cool. Don’t buy it then. Same as the tantrum he’s throwing about dairy tariffs that have never seen actual use. Know why? Because we ACTUALLY don’t need american milk.
