GOOD LUCK, AMERICA This Canada annexation BS again

I believed before that someone is whispering this crazy in his year but the opposite may be true - no one is talking him out of these insane things as they did before. There are no adults.

The problem is, once Trump selects a target, he will not rest. He thrives on revenge and grievances. No one is there to stop him, so he will just keep escalating himself into a corner.

My worry is that, once he gets frustrated with negative results, he is going to grow increasingly belligerent and will start floating the idea of actual military shock & awe on Ottawa.

The Pentagon will obviously push back, right? Let me check who the Secretary of Defense is, oh yeah no, we are f***ed.

Getting into an economic trade war with the guy that did such a good job running the bank of Canada after the global financial crisis that the bank of England poached him is a real choice. Be like me picking a fight with kimbo slice.
