you have to understand the trumpian logic. it's not irrational - it's just the logic of barbarism, and we have to adjust to it.

1) mexico pushed back.
2) canada sought co-operation.
3) therefore, canada is an easier target than mexico is.
4) so, trump should ignore mexico and attack canada.

QED.

you just have to be a barbarian to actually think like that.

...and, yes, it was predictable. that's why i pleaded with them to stand up, early. but, nobody ever listens. story of my fucking life.

the mexicans did this right. we did this wrong. and, if we push back, trump will go invade the falklands, or something.
