I saw it somewhere that 32 of the US states rely on energy from Canada, if I were them I would either impose a 25% tariff on energy costs, or just switch them off for a couple of days until the orange twat changes his mind again.

Thing is that hits normal people in poverty on essential services. Canada won't do that, though it may wake a few up to Trump.

Trump himself will escalate it into something even more idiotic. But he's alright.

I suppose our equivalent would be voting in Alan Sugar and Jeremy Kyle as PM/Deputy PM.

My ISA has very quickly lost about 1k in value recently. I hate Trump but I figured he'd be good for the economy, but he's swiftly eroding that with his arrogant tariff roulette.

JD Vance was funded into politics by Peter Thiel, a former colleague of Musk's at Paypal.
Thiel has historically and now is seems Musk subscribed to Mencious Mouldbug's (aka Curtis Yarvin's) very far out their views that the government ought to be a feudal business (and probably a lot of the racist stuff he says too)

It's the equivalent of an idiot plumber buying a football club and appointing his idiot friend as CEO.

I saw as part of Trump's speech last night he was lauding himself of ridding unelected representatives. And in his next breath giving praise to Elon Musk, an unelected representative. The next 4 years are going to be barmy.

Was mentioned on Newsnight last night, especially from the Canadian Foreign Minister that Trump wanted to replace Charlie as Canada’s head of state

Much like the hard-on for free speech (until they disagree with it), it's getting rid of unelected representatives that they don't like.
