When I say I love my country, I mean it. Canada has everything.
We have four seasons, lots of mountains, the prairies, millions of lakes.
We have a large country, with beautiful scenery everywhere.
And, who can forget, we also have the nicest, most polite people 😏
All of this, and more, is why I love Canada.
❤️🇨🇦❤️
LIKE this tweet if you agree Donald Trump is a bumbling fool, a GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT, a very tiny and confused man (memory issues) — AND Canada is an AMAZING neighbor filled with GREAT PEOPLE, America’s closest friend, and is our trusted ally!
It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
Doug Ford: "I don't respond to a dictator like President Trump, a bully like President Trump ... I'm not gonna take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies ... your own people, President Trump, don't even like you. And they're gonna speak loud and clear in the midterms. If I was allowed to, I'd be down there door-knocking."
Hi, My Name Is Gandalv, and I Have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It started innocently enough. Someone announced that a 50 percent tariff on imported goods would be paid by the exporting country, and I opened my mouth and said that this is not how tariffs work, that the American importer pays it at the border and passes it on to the American consumer, and that a president who does this is essentially fining his own voters for shopping.
The reply came within seconds. TDS. That was the diagnosis.
Not an argument, just three letters and a shrug, the way a doctor might say “terminal” and leave the room.
So I have decided to stop hiding. I am standing up in the church basement with the bad coffee and the folding chairs, and I am saying it out loud.
I have Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the first step is admitting that you find the following things deranged.
I find it deranged that a man imposed tariffs on Heard Island, a territory inhabited exclusively by penguins, and then explained the formula on a cardboard chart in the Rose Garden.
I find it deranged that he wanted to buy Greenland, threatened to take it anyway, and then acted surprised that Denmark, a NATO ally that lost soldiers in Afghanistan on America’s behalf, was not flattered.
I find it deranged that Canada, the country that shares a continent, a hockey rivalry and a nine thousand kilometre undefended border with the United States, was told it should be the 51st state, and that this was meant as a compliment.
I find it deranged that a hurricane forecast was corrected with a Sharpie, that disinfectant was floated as an internal remedy on live television, that windmills were accused of causing cancer, and that the Gulf of Mexico was renamed.
I find it deranged that the men who beat police officers with flagpoles on January 6th were pardoned as patriots, that the Defense Secretary posted strike timings in a group chat that happened to include a journalist, and that a foreign government offered a 400 million dollar aircraft and the answer was not no.
I find it deranged that the East Wing of the White House was demolished for a ballroom, that Zelensky was shouted at in the Oval Office for not saying thank you enough, and that NATO allies were told their protection is conditional while the actual adversary was told he was doing a great job.
And yes, I find it deranged that all of this is defended by people who will pay more for their groceries, their cars and their phones as a direct result, and who will call you sick for noticing.
Here is the thing about TDS. The symptoms are reading, remembering and doing arithmetic. There is no known cure, and frankly none of us are looking for one.
So if you have ever winced at a tariff, sighed at a Sharpie or asked what exactly the penguins did wrong, you belong here. You do not need to whisper. You do not need to hide behind a burner account. Come out of the closet. There are more of us than you think, we are not ashamed, and we saved you a folding chair.
Proud TDS sufferers, welcome home.
Stay deranged, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1
@Microinteracti1 Even if the US hadn’t changed it at the last minute they’re fundamentally unreliable while Trump’s around. Something would have happened next week or next month or next year and Trump would renege on any deal, assuming his crumbling brain even remembers making a deal.
Robert De Niro: “The Executive Branch has descended into a cesspool of corruption, stupidity, and cruelty led by a malignant narcissist. The Congressional Branch is a joke of course driven by fear. And the Judicial Branch, which should be the bulwark against the downfall of other branches is crumbling led by Trump’s compliant justices on the Supreme Court”
Even though I have been working hard with my team and my medical staff, we have now had to make the difficult decision that I will not be able to compete at the US Open this year. We have been back on court in Monte Carlo over the last couple of days and have realised that I still need more time to recover from my right knee issue. I’m obviously very sad and disappointed, as New York has a special place in my heart. I was very much looking forward to coming back and playing in the electric atmosphere in front of the great fans there. ❤️
Imagine if Kamala Harris became the first female president of the United States and then tore down the East wing, obsessed about a ballroom, started a losing war with Iran, took away health care and food from children, raked in billions, fired everyone to put her friends in their positions, fell asleep on camera consistently, mouthed off on social media, openly prosecuted people she didn’t like without real cause, started a slush fund to fund domestic terrorists, and generally lied every second of the day. She wasn’t even allowed to laugh.
A few helpful pro-tips:
- DON’T eat yellow snow.
- DON’T run with scissors.
- DON’T congratulate a woman on her pregnancy unless you KNOW she’s pregnant.
- If you see someone crying, DON’T ask if it’s because of their haircut.
- And above all, DON’T take medical advice (especially as it pertains to children) from Donald Trump or RFK Jr.
You’re welcome.
