Trump's Jaw-Dropping Secret Threat to U.S. Ally Is Leaked

Towards the end of his tenure, Trudeau, who was replaced as PM by Mark Carney in March last year, faced sinister threats from Trump in private phone calls, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to the Wall Street Journal.

In one call, Trump reportedly straight-up threatened to nix a 118-year-old agreement that helped pin down and officially mark parts of the U.S.-Canada border on maps and on the ground.

In April 1908, the Boundary Convention was signed by the United States and the United Kingdom, which at the time handled Canada’s foreign affairs because Canada was a self-governing British Dominion.

Trump didn’t care for its history, reportedly telling Trudeau, “I tear that up, and your whole country unravels.”

1. treaties mean less to him than oaths of office or wedding vows.

2. So all this malevolence is coming from elsewhere because no way in the world he thought of that. Threatening though is

so destructive. I hope not permanently.

[chowder66]

4. This is why the media needs to harp on the Republican congress members and those around Trump.

Trump is the mouthpiece for their bad and damaging ideas.

21. Of course

He’s dumb as a box of rocks, he didn’t even know the treaty existed until Voldemort (Miller) told him to use it as a weapon.

22. Putin?

Hard to tell. He has so many nefarious friends who probably day dream about stuff like this.

3. This level of meanness, selfishness and recklessness is just why Republicans voted him in.

They are unlawful cur dogs who just aim for the target, and ignore everything that gets in their way.

We will have to pay for this approach, because uncivilized methods have consequences.

6. Trudeau resigned, and now we know why

It wasn't that he ran and lost to Carney, it was that Trudeau declined to run for re-election.

It was never really explained why, and now we know. He hates Chump so much (after receiving these mob-boss threats) that he just backed away from politics altogether.

[applegrove]

7. He was really unpopular and had a minority government.

Some in his cabinet were stepping down.

[Spazito]

8. Trudeau's popularity had plummeted...

and the Cons numbers were skyrocketing, that's why he didn't run again and Carney was elected by the Liberal party to replace him and, therefore, become the PM and run in the next election.

Trudeau did not quit because of threats, he resigned because he knew he would lose if he ran again.

11. I also think that Trump was insanely jealous of him and needed to try and crush him any way he could

to feel better about himself. I think Trudeau knew he was a lightning rod for Trump's rath against Canada.

[Spazito]

12. Trudeau knew Canadians were not afraid of trump...

and wanted our politicians to stand up to him, Trudeau's leaving was an internal issue, his popularity had plummeted due to his own actions and what was seen as a growing arrogance. The polls were very clear, if Trudeau ran again, the Liberals would lose to the Cons and PP.

I agree Trump was envious of Trudeau, that was very apparent but that had little to no affect on whether Trudeau stayed or resigned

[ToxMarz]

13. Well you're Canadian and I know almost nothing about Canadian politics

so I'll defer to you're insight..

[Spazito]

14. I thought you were quite insightful...

and appreciated your post and your interest.

[StevieM]

17. Like Spazito, I also appreciate your interest and your insight.

Unfortunately, I am not a normal human being. I cannot help but point out that you accidentally wrote "your" instead of "you're."

Homonyms can get the better of all of us, from time to time. Fortunately, this wonderful site allows us to edit our posts.

[druidity33]

19. I think you're incorrect

on your assertion between you're (you are) and your.

And you made someone dance to your tune regardless. And i think you mean "homophones".

[StevieM]

24. I appreciate your comments and the observations you have shared.

My assertion wasn't mistaken. The poster has since edited his post. Originally, he had the wrong spelling.

I agree that my compulsion to point out the error isn't a positive thing. That is why I wrote, in good humor, "unfortunately, I am not a normal person." The goal was the make the exchange all in good fun. In any event, ToxMarz liked my post, so all is well.

There are two types of homonyms: homophones (same sound, different spelling) and homographs (same spelling, different sound). Your and you're, the words in question, can be correctly described as either homophones or homonyms.

[druidity33]

25. So homophone is more accurate then, right? nt.

10. This is what Americans wanted. Government by Dark Quadrant because we are a society sick to its soul

[Justice matters.]

15. Almost half of Americans could not point to Ottawa on a map

You know, all those who never care about anything politics and never vote.

Tens of millions of them. They are the reason this species is on the verge of extinction and they don't even know it.

16. He is such a goddamn evil asshole

JFC!

18. A semi-literate thug...

... with the brains of a potted plant, and the moral compass of rabid hyena, and you room-temperature IQs take him seriously? SERIOUSLY?!!?

20. Trump is the worst threat to world peace in recent history.

23. This jackass needs to die soon

And I don't give a shit whether it's via heart disease, lead poisoning, or anything in between.
