Trump says he’s building refineries all over the country and that they’ll be ready in about a year. Yeah… that’s not happening. Trump isn’t building a single refinery anywhere. Meanwhile, three refineries have closed during this administration’s current term. There is only one new refinery planned in the U.S.: at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. It is being developed by America First Refining (AFR), isn’t expected to be operational until 2029, and substantial construction is not expected to begin until next year. Trump will literally get on TV, say whatever bullshit he wants, and MAGA says nothing—because you idiots are in a cult and all he needs are stupid people voting and that’s MAGA 🫵🏼

Vance: “I wouldn’t call it a war. Right now there is no active shooting.”

I'm starting to think Howard Lutnik only went to Epstein Island to get banged by Trump.

Wab Kinew reacts to Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario: "You know when a rock band is really over the hill and you see them in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago? I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."

New: In a phone call with me after U.S.-Canada trade negotiations collapsed, President Trump suggested the US had added conditions late during talks.  “That sounds like me,” Trump responded, when asked about Canadian officials' assertion about US late-stage demands. When I pressed, “So you don't deny it?” The president replied, “No, no, I don't deny anything. So no, they have to pay a fair amount. And if they don't pay a fair amount, we won't make a deal. That's fine.“ More on the broader effects of tariffs here: cnn.com/2026/08/25/business/…

Here is the video where Donald Trump states he wants to use "Economic Force" to annex and acquire Canada. JANUARY 7, 2025. Before our election. Before Carney was running as PM. If you're supporting and rooting for this foreign leader over your own country, you're a traitor.

Hi, My Name Is Gandalv, and I Have Trump Derangement Syndrome. It started innocently enough. Someone announced that a 50 percent tariff on imported goods would be paid by the exporting country, and I opened my mouth and said that this is not how tariffs work, that the American importer pays it at the border and passes it on to the American consumer, and that a president who does this is essentially fining his own voters for shopping. The reply came within seconds. TDS. That was the diagnosis. Not an argument, just three letters and a shrug, the way a doctor might say “terminal” and leave the room. So I have decided to stop hiding. I am standing up in the church basement with the bad coffee and the folding chairs, and I am saying it out loud. I have Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the first step is admitting that you find the following things deranged. I find it deranged that a man imposed tariffs on Heard Island, a territory inhabited exclusively by penguins, and then explained the formula on a cardboard chart in the Rose Garden. I find it deranged that he wanted to buy Greenland, threatened to take it anyway, and then acted surprised that Denmark, a NATO ally that lost soldiers in Afghanistan on America’s behalf, was not flattered. I find it deranged that Canada, the country that shares a continent, a hockey rivalry and a nine thousand kilometre undefended border with the United States, was told it should be the 51st state, and that this was meant as a compliment. I find it deranged that a hurricane forecast was corrected with a Sharpie, that disinfectant was floated as an internal remedy on live television, that windmills were accused of causing cancer, and that the Gulf of Mexico was renamed. I find it deranged that the men who beat police officers with flagpoles on January 6th were pardoned as patriots, that the Defense Secretary posted strike timings in a group chat that happened to include a journalist, and that a foreign government offered a 400 million dollar aircraft and the answer was not no. I find it deranged that the East Wing of the White House was demolished for a ballroom, that Zelensky was shouted at in the Oval Office for not saying thank you enough, and that NATO allies were told their protection is conditional while the actual adversary was told he was doing a great job. And yes, I find it deranged that all of this is defended by people who will pay more for their groceries, their cars and their phones as a direct result, and who will call you sick for noticing. Here is the thing about TDS. The symptoms are reading, remembering and doing arithmetic. There is no known cure, and frankly none of us are looking for one. So if you have ever winced at a tariff, sighed at a Sharpie or asked what exactly the penguins did wrong, you belong here. You do not need to whisper. You do not need to hide behind a burner account. Come out of the closet. There are more of us than you think, we are not ashamed, and we saved you a folding chair. Proud TDS sufferers, welcome home. Stay deranged, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

🇨🇦 🇺🇸 A quick reminder of how trade with Canada actually works. The agreement governing it is the USMCA, negotiated by Donald Trump himself in his first term and hailed by Donald Trump himself as the best trade deal ever made. Six years of carefully stacked arrangements, and all it took was one clumsy grab at 50% tariffs, plus a 1930 Depression-era law so obscure no president ever touched it, to bring the whole shelf down on his own head. And for those who remember the original justification: fentanyl. Pouring across the northern border, apparently, despite less than one percent of American fentanyl seizures happening anywhere near Canada. The pretext was fiction, so it was quietly swapped for new fiction while the wreckage kept piling up. Canada, sensibly, is matching the tariffs dollar for dollar. Strip away the optics and one motive remains: manufactured chaos designed purely to hurt Canada, made by a man who never understood what he was dismantling. Possibly because Mark Carney is smarter than him. And, let’s be honest, considerably better looking. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

Trade war with US will be devastating for Canada, trade deal with US will be fatal for Canada. Choice is obvious.

This is some very serious Fatal Attraction material. 😬

🚨WATCH: “Canada since Mark Carney became Prime Minister in March 2025 has outperformed everyone in America, the Eurozone and anywhere else in the world.” - Bloomberg Editor-In Chief, Matt Winkler 🇨🇦👇 #Canada #Tradewar

The wrong leaders at the most important moment in history.

RT @HelloStephano: This is a great watch:

CANADA: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. AMERICA: oh yeah? Our guy passed THREE dementia tests. (Allegedly)

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

I challenge any other modern democratic country to prove that their populace is dumber than America's. Y'all can't do it. The election of Trump, especially the second term, cements America as the dumbest modern nation in history.

For years, Canada sent 70 cents of every defence dollar straight to the United States. Mark Carney just told Parliament that stops now. The room gave him a standing ovation. It is a striking thing to get a standing ovation for announcing that your country will stop subsidising someone else’s arms industry. But that is where Canada is in 2025. Carney’s case is blunt: the United States is “beginning to monetize its hegemony, charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contributions to collective security.”   And MAGA is celebrating. Winning. Always winning. USA, USA. Somewhere a man in a red hat is pumping his fist. Let me explain what is actually happening, because clearly no one has bothered. In ten months, the United States has torched eighty years of alliance architecture that its own soldiers, diplomats and taxpayers built from the rubble of the Second World War. Eighty years. Gone. Detonated, with a smile, by people who genuinely believe this is genius. Canada is not drifting away. Canada is leaving. Europe is not hedging. Europe is building a defence industry specifically designed to cut Washington out. Allies are not quietly grumbling over dinner. They are signing contracts with other people. And the MAGA faithful are cheering every single step of it, because someone told them this is what dominance looks like. It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

When Trump leaves office: The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department. The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center. The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico. The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom. Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired. The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president. Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference. The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies. The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists. Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it. The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters. U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators. And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.
