Carney also called him a "transformational president" who "revitalized international security" and Trump nodded "it's true!" because he's too stupid to realize it wasn't a compliment.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Carney used "tranformational" twice, then Trump tried to use it but lost his train of thought.
That was the end of my watching tv cause my head hurt from his utter fucking stupidity.
Carney does like that word a lot, although not nearly as much as "if I may"
"If I may" is Canadian english for "please be quiet, I haven't finished speaking".
Agreed. It’s called “manners” and “diplomacy”. Something Trump knows nothing about.
Your country's leader may overuse turns-of-phrase. Mine is destroying a lifetime of political capital and hurting millions both domestically and internationally.
I'd choose your leader over mine in a hot second.
may overuse turns-of-phrase
Sorry. If I may, I suspect the listener may need repetition to be comfortable in the conversation, since it will re-use words he's already figured out.
New deal, Canada becomes part of the US but we just let them be in charge and abandon our clearly failed political system
So much better than Trump's mouth diarrhea
Same. I only watched it cuz I like watching carney in action. Everyone else in that room makes me want to vomit
So fucking embarrassing.
I think he handled him well.
As an American, all I can say is “I’m sorry that we have inflicted this Orange Buffon on the world.” Thank you for seeing him as the pathetic loser he is.
By all means punish America for this. Our voters seem to be assholes and only concerned with the price of eggs. We need to suffer a little financially to learn our lesson.
I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan bit he wrote during the first Trump admin which is even more true these days. Short version, he compares having Trump as President to having a parent who's a raging alcoholic: what he does isn't directly your fault but you still know you should apologize.
As an American, I’d like to say “I’m sorry that we have inflicted this Orange Buffon on the world. TWICE.”
Respect for using a Canadian meme to make your apology. I see Letterkenny, I upvote.

Thats’s correct and it’s also why America will find very little grace outside of your borders. Most Americans don’t leave their states though. So they don’t really gaf.
I'm kind of happy to see that basically no American other than orange dildo and his ass-kissers seems to agree that., even for trump, (which is saying a lot) this is a good idea.. I don't plan to ever step foot again in the US (sorry, something as been broken), but I'm glad to know not all of you have lost your mind. Cheers from Montréal.
Trump, a convicted rapist and felon with little education and a history of bankrupting everything he touches, thinks he’s going to out maneuver Carney, a man who’s highly educated, has run the bank of Canada, the Bank of England, and sat on the board of Brookfield, a company worth……over $900 US billion. Yeah, whatever.
Trump doesn’t even know when he’s being insulted, but nods and agrees.
OK Trump, time for a diaper change, warm bottle and a nap ya stupid fuck.
You missed the last part of that exchange.
Carney says "Never".
He says it over and over bunch of times!
What would it even mean to “sell” Canada? Whatever deal they make, the US could just back out of once Canada became a state, and Canada wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. It’s a non-sensical idea.
Selling territories makes sense, but selling your own sovereignty does not.
Carney had to use a word Trump understands.
He should have punched that orange bitch in the face so fucking hard
Then jersey him and feed him a few more.
Carney should have said something like “if you want our countries to be friends, then start treating us like a friend and start acting like a friend.”
Talk to Trump at his level, akin to a 5 year old.
The sad thing is, this doesn't sound odd or unusual whatsoever. Given the current lack of decorum, I automatically assume this is how everyone must speak to him.
Vance would be begging to become another meme over that
He's not a 5yo, he's a sociopath.
Damn fucking right. Eat shit Trump and moron sycophants.
Being the convicted rapist that he is, Trump can't take no for an answer.
It’s not a joke you dumb cunt. It was said with its full intention.
How would that even work? I’ll give you 100 dollars to be mine… then that 100 dollars becomes mine again?
I'd love to be locked in a room with Trump for an hour, he'd survive but I'd tell the world afterwards what his end goal was and every secret he had.
Serious question: Do you think anybody would listen? There have been multiple former members of the White House staff and Cabinet you have come out with scathing tell-alls. Then there are the multiple communications leaks. Then outright just stating that they are going to do the thing.
I'm pretty sure we are well past the point of revealing his true end goals and ending him right there
Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I'm still going over the top saying they're gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don't even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They're my team! I can't let you talk shit about them.

Probably not but I'd enjoy the hour but of course I wouldn't actually resort to hurting him if possible.
I do want to know if he is actually a Russian Asset though.
if possible
Unless your EEG looks like a topographical map of Iowa, you should be jumping at him almost immediately or you'll go insane. I cannot imagine the torture of listening to him talk for an hour without being able to physically make it stop.

Is there at a c/iamverybadass yet?
”The price is you stepping down and agreeing never to run for any political office under pain of death”
Too cheap. It needs to be "the immediate resignation from office of anyone in the US who would want to purchase or otherwise take control of Canadian territory".
Still too cheap. It should be "The complete dissolution of the United States as a singular entity".
Still wouldn't be worth it. We can't expect Canadians to sacrifice themselves to the shitty US system, even the one without Trump.
Might as well skip the middle part, he's never going to do any of that anyway.
Trump reading this as: "Canada won't be on sale forever"
