Trumps re-election....

[Duro5341]

There haven’t been fires of this magnitude in Los Angeles in 75 years. That water is needed for irrigation later in the year but some egghead released it for a photo op.
Same egghead that stuck unwarranted tariffs on goods coming from Canada. All in the same week. 4 years of this is going to keep people busy with damage control.

Your right, and the same mentality lead them to where they are today.................so do you chance it again, or make sure the water which you now depleted to NOTHING has something there or do you run with nothing and hope for rain??????

We have 4 months to replenish the water that may need to be used now, what Trump is doing now is buying time.
The replacement water may be more expensive to replace, but you have time.....................YOU CANNOT BUY MORE TIME, time is constant and business men do NOT waste time, government and their workers do as their finances are unlimited.

We had lots of water out west yet the wild fires there were devastating......and occur each and every year without fail...

Water is but one part of the equation.......the complexity of the protection zone is a big part of it and if you look at the area the wild fires occurred, you will see it is a very challenging region to get men and equipment into so they can fight fires.

What Trump has done was run roughshod over the experts (yet again) and hasn't accomplished a single thing to prevent any wild fires but has jeopardized the citrus crops that supply a vast amount of product to the world.

There has been flooding in farm fields since Trump let go of the water supplies in NorCal. The idiot would give a drowning man a drink of water.

This alarming musk news might as well go right here. He’s taken or trump has given him way too much access and control.

Billionaire Musk bought control of US government and conspiracy theorists sure are quiet | Opinion

Since it appears that unelected billionaire Elon Musk is running the country, I'd like a word with all the right-wing conspiracy theorists out there.

I just read where der herr Trump was yakking about how horrible Canada treats the US and how we don't allow US banks to operate in Canada......while in fact there are 16 US banks operating in Canada according to the Canadian Banking Association.....

A person just can't trust anything that comes out of his noise-hole.....

Micromanaging is Trump's game. Explaining to experts what he just read on the internet. Sounds familiar. One needs to understand the situation well before implementing a plan, not the other way around.

The crazy part is, a lot of his followers take everything he says as the gospel, as if interpreted through some sort of Trump filter. All this anti Canada rhetoric is bat s h i t crazy. It started as an awkward joke, talking about Canada joining as the 51st state, and after Canada saying thank you but no, it has escalated in Trump's bizarre mind to this.

Look at how it escalated in Greenland......having nations ready to mobilize in order to protect their sovereignty....who'd of thought this would be a reality

[Red05]

It is surreal. Trump is unhinged; hopefully his advisors pull him out of whacko world slowly, so that it looks like he came to his senses.
He is haplessly unable to admit to making a mistake or God forbid offer an apology.

[CBXRider]

For those who are just now realizing that he’s ’round the bend”, this was seen by pretty much everyone and yet…

[Bumblebee]

He constantly talks and goes into his social networks before he thinks or is educated on the subject.....

He said that Canada treats the US very badly and we don't allow US banks to operate in Canada.......the financial advisors in Canada say there are 16 US banks operating in Canada.......we treat the US very badly by providing a lot of electricity and other resources....of course it comes with a cost as it should but it's a wholesale cost....

Even some of his die-hard, staunch supporters are shaking their heads......

If the democrats would have put out a better front runner, there is no way he would have been re-elected.....

I'm sure there aren't too many Americans telling their kids that if they play their cards right, they can be just like the president.....they are probably telling their kids to not be like him, I know I would be.

So you understand. Not that you want to or will.

Partially true. He does run his mouth a lot. But if it weren't for him, you would have no idea Canada has Fentanyl super factories. So not everything he says is false. That's the part I don't like about him. He is capable of focusing on facts. But he also stated a lot of distorted ideas u think he thinks is true.

I'm curious since you claim you don't watch your news. Where do you get your facts from?

Did Trump say during his re-election campaign that he would place tariffs? Is that a lie?

Trump said he would deport illegal immigrants.
Is that a lie?

Etc. Etc.

Trump says a lot of stupid chyt that I hate. But he does not corner the market on lying. Nor does he say nothing but lies.

I get my facts on line from various non MSN sources....

I also read that most of the fentanyl that gets into the US is from Mexico and China....it might flow into Canada from China but is distributed in Canada and some is moved into the US...

https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/DEA_GOV_DIR-008-20%20Fentanyl%20Flow%20in%20the%20United%20States_0.pdf

An excerpt from the Washington post indicates fentanyl isn't flowing into the US in the quantities Trump says it is.....he's just looking for an excuse to exercise his power and authority over other sovereign nations in any way he can and to justify his weaponizing of tariffs.....

"U.S. authorities say they have little indication that Canadian-made fentanyl is being smuggled south in significant quantities. But at a time when record numbers of people are dying from overdoses in the United States, the spread of clandestine fentanyl labs in Canada has the potential to undermine U.S. enforcement efforts and worsen the opioid epidemic in both nations."

That quantity reported is what has been seized. There is no way of knowing what has not been seized. While I agree that it's a small amount compared to our southern border issue is, as we make it more difficult to smuggle from the south, they will exploit the northern border to smuggle it in from. And I'm glad you're learning that yes you get your precursors from China and manufacture it for your epidemic instead of trying to suggest your Fentanyl problem comes from the U.S.

It's too bad your chosen sources of facts haven't been more enlightening for you. But as the U.S. has finally learned, the media helps create a narrative they want you to believe.

Trump is trying to be proactive in anticipating how to try and put a stop to the Fentanyl epidemic. Instead of burying his head in the sand.

The media can be used in many ways...........

I've seen the good and bad side of media but one thing I will say is that there needs to be more independent media which is not funded by the government.....I seek out the independents for my info....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump is trying to exert his power over other nations.......the flow of fentanyl is an excuse to do so....he threatened countries where no fentanyl has ever come from (UK, EU) in order to use tariffs as a weapon against them........

When he started this tariff talk against Canada, the word fentanyl never came up....it was always about how badly Canada was treating the US in trade.....

Funny how he is the first and only president to say this when we've been trading partners with the US for well over 100 years with no previous complaints.....we have always been mutually beneficial to each other.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I truly hope this has been a wake up call for the Canadian government to see what kind of poor relationship we have with Trump and we learn to find other trading partners thus minimizing his weaponized tariffs......

Maybe he can bring the US back to the manufacturing power house if once was......I estimate it would take a decade or more tor that to happen as factories, staff and resources have to be made and sourced.....resources that would also have to be brought in....

It's not just about Fentanyl. That's just how they came to terms for this round of conflict. According to you, the only Fentanyl problem you had was coming from America. Perhaps that's the message your govt needed you to believe. And now Trudeau has acknowledged there is a domestic problem with Fentanyl.

Our government was well aware of a domestic fentanyl problem...and so was I......I lost a 25 yr old nephew to fentanyl a few years ago....

What I wasn't aware of are the large labs they found nor that there is any drug smuggling into the US of any large size....(which there isn't).

There was no talk of fentanyl when Trump wanted to tariff Canada during his first term and in the early threats of his tariffs in this term....I think once he saw that imposing tariffs on Canada was going to be wildly unpopular, he threw in fentanyl to justify it...

This prompted our gutless government to throw 1.9 billion at the border to try and appease Trump.....

If you take a look at the border between Canada and the US......it is completely impossible to shut it down, there are thousands and thousands of kms of nothing but forests with a 100 meter path cut through it as a border......

There's is no way in hell that border can be properly secured......

It's too bad you don't read our exchanges we have. I stated this pretty much exactly. And added the best bet Trudeau has was to eliminate his domestic Fentanyl production with his newly appointed position.

I read them and my statement was a reinforcement of that fact.....in agreeance.......

Trudeau is a tool bag and one we are hopefully soon rid of.....he will do nothing yet make it appear that he did a whole bunch.
