President Donald Trump was furious with Canada on Friday as wildfires and smoke prompted major air quality concerns for the Midwest and Northeast.
Trump dropped threats in a post on his Truth Social platform.
"We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!" Trump wrote.
He said he planned to call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to "find out what they are going to do about it."
Hey PM Carney, just let it go to VM - fuck him, stupid idiot

(27,126 posts)Not surprising at all. DC's air quality was affected today.
I'd like to see Carney throw it back to Trump for denying climate change. Or tell him to take his whining to Mother Nature or God.
The US has its own share of wild fires.

I love airshows but when they are dropping two blocks away?
The first clue is when the Ch. 7 news van is at your intersection.
Maybe chump will use Napalm on the fires.

Responding to the criticism on Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters, Theres some politicians out there chirping away, well maybe what you should do rather than complain, is send support, send help, because we have done the exact same thing for our American friends.
Thats what youre supposed to do, Ford added.
He says crews are battling nearly 200 active fires across the province, half of which have been deemed out of control.

(3,549 posts)Canada sent help. I guess all Trump and his fellow travelers are going to send is bad vibes and bullshit complaints. Quelle surprise.
Carney should recall all Canadian firefighters and deploy them to fight fires in Canada. That's my knee-jerk reaction. But doing so wouldn't punish Trump, it would only punish the people already suffering from these fires.
I saw a news item this morning that Canadians now trust China under Xi's leadership more than they trust the US under Trump's leadership. I can't imagine why.

(114,827 posts)because the cash flow for his cabinet is positive, one could also say lush. Of course, it's all on paper and likely to go poof very suddenly, but assholes don't think like that. As loong as they have the illusion of geting rich off Fatso, they won't rock his leaky boat.
But damn, I can't think of any Democratic president who wouldn't have been whisked off to Walter Reed for a neuro exam if he'd come out with that statmenyt within anyone's hearing.

(5,307 posts)... of what damage this insanely childish creature is doing to our standing in the world, by blaming the politicians of one of our closest neighbors for a natural disaster that is beyond their control, because it inconvenienced him.
Republicans, you worthless, evil fucks, do something for the good of the country just this once, instead of yourselves and the malignant oligarchs whose genitals you so eagerly fondle for you "campaign contributions", that even a coked up squirrel knows are are brazen bribes, and remove this diseased turd with a bad combover from office before he does even more harm.
