White House official threatens to redraw Canadian border

[millah_22]

A top White House official has threatened to redraw the Canadian border amid Donald Trump’s ambition to turn the country in America’s “51st state”.

Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal.

“Navarro recommended revising the Canada-US border, which is just crazy and dangerous,” a source close to negotiations told The Telegraph.

Canada has now instructed its delegates to withdraw from negotiations with the US until Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick, two incoming members of Mr Trump’s cabinet, are confirmed by the senate. Mr Greer and Mr Lutnick are viewed by Ontario as being less extreme.

“The Canadians have told their people to hold off negotiating with the US Government until Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick are confirmed by the Senate and in post,” the source said.

Once again, they're just focused on the stuff that all us citizens want. MAGA

I wonder what all of the Chase Oliver voters here think about that.

The name Peter Navarro says it all. He's the ex-con that served four months in jail for defying a subpoena from the Jan 6 Select House Committee investigating the insurrection by Trump's thugs on the Capitol.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Totally normal behavior here.

Trump just throws outrageous shit to get the media to talk about it while he pushes through what he really wants with out much media talking about that. Clickbait at its finest!!

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Hmm, think I’ve seen this playbook before. We are just at step 1.

Step 1: claim the borders are wrong
Step 2: claim the people living in those places prefer to live under US rule, promise those people the world
Step 3: convince some of the folks in that area to rebel against Canadian rule, maybe send some special forces to train them up
Step 4 (optional): shoot down a commercial airliner and blame it on Canada
Step 5: mass our troops at the border with a straight shot to Ottawa, but claim they are just there to defend the border
Step 6: full scale invasion

Well if this is their attempt to take the focus away from bringing the Tate Bros to the country, it's failing miserably.

He does seem like he wants to copy the "declare it as independent" Putin playbook.

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful." “He used the word ‘independent’ and ‘we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy.”

Word bitch, media should be focused on the cuts to Medicaid to fund the tax cuts for the upper quadrant.

 

[BrunoMars420]

I mean it worked during his first term and leading up to the election. What he said he was going to do, he is doing but people were more focused on the stupid shit that he says. The new media needs to learn how to navigate through this as I think it will be the new normal from the right at least.

 

[seminole97]

Dangerous?
How would it be dangerous?

This isn’t like wandering into the Korean DMZ with its minefields.

I think the most dangerous thing about the U.S. Canadian border would be getting lost somewhere in the woods.

No offense but that doesn’t make any sense. He’s already pushing through things right out in the open that should outrage every American. He doesn’t need “clickbait”…he just needs a spineless GOP Congress and a SCOTUS that will sit on its hands.

lol…your usual sharp take. And if NK - you know, that regime Trump loves - takes its cue and decides to “redraw” their border?

Almost thought I might make it through a day without

But here we are. Didn't make it. At least it wasn't first thing in the morning today. Progress.

lol…your usual sharp take.

What is the danger in discussing the border with Canada, though?

When you were in 8th grade history and learned about the Gadsden Purchase, did you think, "Whooo boy, Franklin Pierce has stepped in it now!"

And if NK - you know, that regime Trump loves - takes its cue and decides to “redraw” their border?

They get blasted by the Republic of Korea, who has 2x the population and 60x the GDP...

'Sharp and focused' take comparing the Korean DMZ and the Canadian-US border.

Land borders aren't as ambiguous as maritime rights. Copying China claiming waters not their own then playing might makes right only takes one White House staffer to plant the seed. You love discussions, but actions that aren't what ifs any longer because the what's appropriate filter has yet to be installed for this administration are a more useful skill in the world today.

OK, but what danger is introduced by discussing a change to the border?
Will it break your leg? Poke out your eye? Empty your bank account?

What purpose does it serve other than creating resentment from a long-time ally? It's childish and indefensible.

View embedded media

All of these things can be true
1. They flood the zone
2. They don't just flood the zone
3. They claim they aren't going to do things they are going or have done

I really don't understand what you get out of being the devil's advocate that is trying to sane wash Trump. These upcoming Medicaid cuts if they go through have an insanely low approval rating. It's like you're a philosopher fence sitter.

You've seen the movie Butterfly effect I presume. Biff playing he can't lose after stealing the sports almanac maybe.

A small indulgence isn't always innocent when it involves the White House. Nothing is merely academic these days there.

How am I sane washing this idiocy by showing their strategy? And how is this playing devils advocate here when I didn’t even state my opinion on it? This particular statement from the administration is exactly what the video is talking about in flooding the zone. It’s so idiotic the left is wasting its time and energy on it compared to to these upcoming Medicaid cuts.

With this new budget reconciliation coming up I think they will be flooding the zone with a lot of shit like this Trump Gold card nonsense which happened to come out right when the House passed the budget resolution.

Just because I don’t take a position in one post about this certain subject doesn’t mean I am a fence sitter. I think it is very very important for people to know the strategy so they don’t get hung up with this dumb shit compared to the issues that really matter.

Navarro was a nutbad in the first trump term and he stil is. Went to jail instead of testifying in front of congress so he wouldnt have to tattle on Dumpster of Garbage.
