This is so spot-on that it’s impossible not to share...
An Australian’s response to yet another Trump tirade about how “NATO does nothing for America” absolutely destroys him:
“Mate, you run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can’t cover an unexpected $400 expense without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a monthly car payment, and people are forced to ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are afraid of abortion laws and hesitate to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any other country on Earth. More than China. More than North Korea.
In the ‘land of the free,’ two million people are behind bars, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of a crime. They’re simply too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed country where this is happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.
Your children practice active-shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell your friends shares in defense companies.
Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal — found by a court to be liable for sexual abuse, who defended a pedophile, slept with a porn star, and has led the biggest political dumpster fire since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another catastrophe.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody there goes bankrupt because they get sick. Nobody dies in silence because an insurance company refused to pay for treatment.
‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed help.’ When exactly, champ? September 11?
Because that was when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history — for you. Service members from dozens of countries went to Afghanistan, fought, bled, and died for you.
Australia wasn’t even a member of NATO, but we came anyway. For twenty years. And then you left at two in the morning without telling anyone and left everyone else to deal with the consequences.
You don’t give a damn that the great people of Ukraine are being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown them a shred of compassion.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you fake-tanned aluminum-siding salesman.
The only thing here that’s truly badly managed is your damn mouth.
And you still have the nerve to lecture the rest of the world?”

@fire_starter457 And add that Canadian Potash production is the largest in the world. 90% of which goes toward agricultural fertilizer. The orange pos is responsible for the massive increase that’s about to happen there as well.
Man, I'll tell ya, those farmers.... Those farmers had it so good... USAID, SNAP, cheap labor and fertilizer, great trade deals and they voted it all away...
And for what? Just to be racist.
You can either own the libs or you can own your farm.
But apparently you can't own both.
All those "liberal/commie policies" they pretended to hate was actually what made them so prosperous and were among the biggest beneficiaries in the country of said policies.
But they threw it all away for an 80 year old racist pedo.
Excellent job farmers. You sure did show us. Man, I feel so owned.
BREAKING: CNN's fact-checker exposes an AVALANCHE OF LIES from Trump about Canada — and there's a new one almost every day.
Donald Trump doesn't just have policy disagreements with Canada. According to CNN's chief fact-checker Daniel Dale, who happens to be Canadian himself, Trump has built his entire trade war narrative on a foundation of demonstrably false claims — and the lies keep coming.
Just today, Dale documented, Trump falsely claimed Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising." The actual number: 6.4%, and it's been DECLINING for three straight months. Trump also falsely claimed Canada does "95% of its business with the US." The real figure is 72%.
He blamed the entire US-Canada trade deficit on high Canadian agricultural tariffs, despite the fact that roughly 97% of US agricultural exports to Canada are already tariff-free, and the actual deficit stems overwhelmingly from cheap Canadian crude oil imports that benefit American consumers.
And that's just today's batch. Dale's running tally over the past 18 months reads like a highlight reel of fabrication.
Trump has falsely claimed Canada doesn't buy American agricultural products, when it's actually the world's SECOND-LARGEST buyer of them. He's falsely claimed Canadians support becoming America's 51st state, when polling shows overwhelming opposition.
He's falsely claimed Canada is among the world's highest-tariff nations, when World Trade Organization rankings place it near the bottom. He's falsely claimed Canada "essentially doesn't have a military," ignoring that Canadian forces have fought alongside American troops in multiple wars and rank in the upper half of NATO by force size.
He's also falsely inflated the US trade deficit with Canada to "$200 billion" (nowhere close), falsely claimed Canada bans American banks (more than a dozen currently operate there), falsely claimed Canada is "constantly surrounded" by Chinese and Russian ships (fiction), and falsely accused former PM Trudeau of using trade tensions to run for reelection — despite Trudeau, quite obviously, not running.
This isn't policy disagreement. This is a dispute over the nature of reality!
This is a sitting president manufacturing an entire economic conflict with one of America's closest allies using numbers he simply invented, over and over, across nearly two years, with virtually no correction or accountability.
When the facts don't support your trade war, apparently the solution is just to make up new facts. Someone needs to tell Trump that the world doesn’t work like that, and it may as well be CNN’s Daniel Dale.
Please like and share if you’re sick of Trump’s lies!
People keep asking why Trump suddenly got so hostile toward Canada this year.
It’s not just the usual trade talk. Look at the Gordie Howe Bridge.
Canada spent billions building a brand new public bridge between Detroit and Windsor. It was basically ready to open. The problem? It sits right next to the Ambassador Bridge, which is privately owned by the Moroun family and has been a monopoly cash machine for decades.
Matthew Moroun (the guy who runs it) writes a $1 million check to a Trump super PAC in January. A few weeks later he gets a meeting with Commerce Secretary Lutnick. Hours after that meeting, Trump posts that he’s blocking the new bridge from opening until Canada “compensates” the U.S. and gives us half ownership.
That’s the moment the temperature with Canada went from tense to open trade war talk.
The Morouns spent 15 years and tens of millions trying to kill this bridge. They finally got the White House to do the heavy lifting for them. Suddenly “Canada is taking advantage of us” became the daily message.
