Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

"So we'll, I think, we'll go as far as we have to go," he continued. "We need Greenland. And the world needs us to have Greenland, including Denmark. Denmark has to have us have Greenland. And, you know, we'll see what happens. But if we don't have Greenland, we can't have great international security."

Trump added, "I view it from a security standpoint, we have to be there."
Nothing what orange delusional turd says make sense. USA has military base in Greenland. Greenland is part of NATO. How much more security you need? Just be honest at least one from 100 times you lie to your cult and say straight - we want Greenland for it's resources and land, that it it. Simple as that, you want to pull Putin and grab some land.... Nobody threatened Greenland since 14th century except USA now.
 
There is a saying about counting chickens before they're hatched. Proclamations about the future have a way of not coming to pass, especially seeing as Canada made clear the cutting off of Tesla's eligibility was due to tariffs, and the very next day Trump announced a 25% tariff on all cars manufactured in Canada. I think it is a pretty safe bet Canada will signal a willingness to back off their threat to Tesla as part of an effort to save their entire auto industry from collapsing.

What we know is that no EV sellers in Canada are getting rebates because Canada is out of rebate money.
So, this is a completely different argument than the one you were trying to make in the post I responded to. You're not as clever as you think you are with all this weaseling around. Also, that 25% percent tariff was not just directed at Canadian car imports, but all car and car part imports. I think you know that, but misleadingly described them that way to imply that the auto import tariffs announced on Tuesday are in response to Tesla being excluded from these programs. That argument doesn't really work if you were presenting things honestly.

Finally, your last point is simply wrong. As the article mentioned, Tesla is currently being banned from participating in a number of different province's EV rebate programs, completely unrelated to the pause on Canada's federal EV rebate program.
 
Finally, your last point is simply wrong.

The issue of Tesla's eligibility for future programs is tied to US tariffs. When Trump announced the tariffs he also mentioned the possibility of granting carve-outs. Any carve-out granted to Canada will certainly include Canada dropping their attack on Tesla....or they can watch their auto industry burn. At some point they are going to learn that Trump is a prick with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire and rusty nails pounded through. Attacking his friend isn't wise.

Here you go again, arguing against a point I never made.

As for your description of Trump as an armed bully- I don’t disagree that’s what he is, but giving into a bully’s every demand is just about the worst strategy you can have. I would not be surprised at all to see Canada hold firm on this.

No chance. Their economy is absolutely dependent on trade with the United States. Canada holding firm will put them in a deep recession if not a depression. Democracies tend to vote out leadership when the economy sours. Maybe current leadership will stand firm, but the next one won't.

Al’s mantra is on repeat:
