We need to reframe this as “Trump opens dialogue about climate-driven environmental hazards, proposes punitive measures for polluting nations”
See how fast we can get the whitehouse hyenas to shit themselves
That’s honestly some brilliant spin.
Oh but you see it’s not climate change, Canada just needs to rake 2.4 million square kilometers of forest.
We should hire Trump’s pool guy and pay him $5M to say that he took care of it. Problem solved, for cheap.
This is fucked up. I don’t usually jump too hard on the anti-Trump bandwagon (I don’t like the guy but I’m not usually rabid about it) but this really takes the fucking cake.
When CA had wildfires, Canada sent us a ton of help-- a bunch of firefighting aircraft, complete with air crews and ground support. It made a big difference.
We have firefighting aircraft. And my understanding is they are parked on the fucking ground while our friends and neighbors to the north are burning. Meanwhile our so-called leader is hurling insults and threats at our friends, while they are literally on fire.
I love my country, but today I’m ashamed. We are supposed to be better than this. Better neighbors, better humans. It’s pathetic. It’s not us. It shouldn’t be us. We should be better than this, as a nation.
If it helps, we actually view you guys as rotten neighbours.
Cool, but we should still be offering to help you fight your fire and we’re right to be mad our government isn’t doing so
Thank you, that does help, and I apologize.
As a punishment for Canadian wildfires, Trump raises taxes that only Americans pay.
Make it make sense, challenge level impossible
Simple. These wildfires are exacerbated by climate change. American consumerism fuels climate change. By increasing taxes on Americans, he’s reducing future wildfires.
Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?
It’s fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.
Meh, weaponized hypocrisy is 99% of what comes out of his blubbery bitch-ass.
No, he’s saying that the atmosphere is a resource owned by the US and that other countries should pay for it.
I mean, he has done more for renewable energy than any previous president.
He’s increased the cost of gasoline, and done wonders for the electrical grid in Cuba.
It’s just another excuse to shit on and threaten Canada.
Maybe they should worry about their fires
Canada has routinely sent folks to help fight American forest fires. Because that is who we are.
We also recently lost one in a Colorado fire
Those of us in the Pacific Northwest will never forget the kind help of our neighbors to the north. Trump is a piece of shit, but we remember here.
The PNW has Canada vibes too; they should just annex us, we’re chill with it.
Maybe Trump should send the people who rake the leaves here to Canada?
The ONLY reason he is aware of this is because the air in DC sucks.
But he is in Florida, how would he know?
Hope it kills him faster
Literally old man yells at cloud.
This fucking guy I swear to god
Quick, divert ICE to dealing with that invasion instead.
If you throw enough ICE into a fire, the fire WILL go out.
C’mon, catch all the molecules!
I don’t want to sound rude, but all those particles are Canadian, illegal, undocumented and, get this… brown and yellow and red! And they’re here to kill us, bringing Cancer to our region. The worst part is they’ll just land anywhere they want, stick around and nobody does anything!
It’s almost as if we should do something about them …sequester them in a large box? Capture them anywhere they go into our country?
Do you know they land on your sister? Not just her harms and legs but inside her blouse! Down her undies! Oh my! Everyone’s sisters! We gotta do something!
As a Canadian in the middle of these wildfires, which fire marshalls and environmental scientists have been warning about for years, I’m glad Doug Ford is getting chastised by his big buddy over a problem that should weigh heavily on his shoulders.
And yes, please, set a precedent to start treating the air as a shared resource. I can’t wait to see what kind of penalties get levied against the US once we make that a thing.
I know he’ll forget the whole thing once he starts sundowning tonight, but a girl can dream.
Are the Epstein Files in the wildfire smoke? No? Then let the fire department do their job and bring the child-molester-in-chief to justice. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to bring back those environmental laws you abolished.
Take my energy tiny blood clot
This assfuck is all-in on AI and data centers. He doesn’t give a fuck about the air.
He could help Canada, but he won’t. It’s all about bullshit. He needs to feed his fat fucking cow followers with endless bullshit. No gaps in the feedings. Bullshit day and night.
