Angus: The prime minister presents a vision of saying, “I’m reasonable. We’re going to work with this guy.” Then Trump pulls this stunt. What’s now very clear is that you can’t sit down and negotiate in good faith with a gangster regime. You just can’t trust Trump.
Everyone should know that now!
The attached is worth a read, especially points 13. 14. & 15. www.commondreams.org/views/2019/0...
trump is nothing more than a sulking, petulant child. And he gets worse as the days go by. Don't expect anything more than you would from a 4 year old with serious mental problems!
I hope the Australian government is listening to you Charlie. The Murdoch crime syndicate here is screaming for our PM to talk with the gangster.
We already knew where der fuhrer "donvict" stands - with the billionaires!!!

The poor UK.
A deal is never a deal with Donald Trump. It was his own North American trade deal he trashed to go into this dementia-fueled tariff mania. The man is unwell.
Late to the party but welcome.
Trump is an extortionists so you can’t bargain with him!
Nor should you.
And that’s exactly correct.
Respects to Canada. Trump is a heartless felon abusing power and people. Republican leaders share responsibility.
And it does no good to try to appease him. Just ask Columbia University, knuckling under did nothing to help them. Always stand up to 47. Never ever let his bullshit slide.
All that's happening now is that I'm thinking "you can't trust Carney." I would like him to clearly demonstrate that he is not competing to be the next Neville Chamberlain, but is planning a bright, independent future for Canada. Have some dignity, man.
Face it America, he is all ours. No other civilized country wants anything to do with him.
Hitler violated every treaty and agreement he possibly could. If it quacks like a duck…
Manners make all sitting at that table of debate, discussion & detaunte possible in the delicate dance between Nations when World Peace & prosperity are stake. All are on equal footing. Trump & Rubio have absolutlely zero comprehension of this Centuries old concept. They best take a crash course.
He's untrustworthy
Trump has been reneging on deals long before he became president. He’s famous for the reneging or big deal, real estate, deal marriage deals. You name it Trump has renege on it.
Ironclad rule of Donald Trump he is lying about everything all the time. Without exception Trump shouldn't be taken at his word. Nothing he says is to be believed without intensive scrutiny
Trump is the sociopathic capo of a gangster regime.
“Now”? This the first red flag huh?
No 💩
How can any country negotiate a deal with a guy who refuses to understand what a tariff actually is?
He knows what they are. He’ll be using that money collected by Customs to enrich himself and his chums. Let the people pay down the line.
No. Reasonable efforts with a tyrant dictator is futile. Time to cut the cord.
Nope 👎 Nobody should trust TFG. The felon needs to be removed and prosecuted.
Das ist ein take.
“Gangster Regime?” Nah, dude is demented. You can’t negotiate with a dementia patient. You smile and nod while taking away anything that can be used as a weapon. Make them think it’s their idea to move to a secure facility.
I don’t get why any world leaders, except maybe fellow authoritarians, would even work with him or take his word for anything?? He’s a fucking liar and a crook, why is anyone legitimizing him or trusting him whatsoever? It’s so frustrating.
Unfortunately, with how close our countries are we have to try to work with the dumbfuck until we have all the other avenues in place. It's not as easy as just stopping our trade. We will continue to build more reciprocal relationships with other nations so we can do less with the USA.
Good luck with your search. Those countries are out there.
You can’t trust a felon who was a frequent flyer on Epstein Airlines? I’m so shocked……
Unfortunately, as Canada and the US are so economically intertwined and the US has a massive military, Carney has to be the Prime Minster Canada needs, not the one that random folks on Bluesky think they would be were they in his shoes. That includes pretending to pay attention to The First Toddler.
that's why every nation in the world is reconfiguring trade to exclude the US the damage dumbass has done to our country will never heal decades of progress gone, and the world moves one
I’m hoping that someday given the appropriate leadership, our nation can recover. 🤞🏻
Sadly, I don't see how that will ever happen. As with any marriage once trust is gone, it's gone forever, and if you divorce the first guy who cheated on you and left you bankrupt, you'll never agree to a joint bank account again.
Perhaps for this generation of people, but eventually the hope and enthusiasm of youth will take its course.
ASAP.
the middle east was the cradle of civilization ...until fundamentalists got to it Iran used to be a world class democracy ...until fundamentalists got to it the USA was a shining beacon of freedom on a hill ...until fundamentalists got to it it's sad. and devastating.
We have too many people in our country to succumb for long. Eventually right will conquer wrong…or at least a reasonable facsimile.
A lot of companies here have found canadian or european suppliers and have moved on from the u.s. We aren't going back
All leaders shouldn't negotiate with a felon. PEDO 🍊💩 is using tariff as a weapon at his disposal to regain control over something that is nothing to negotiate. It's a game to him. 🤷😡
Wait- they’re JUST NOW figuring this out?!?!
Trump’s Art of the Deal is just to be a low rent used car salesman. If you bother negotiating, he takes that as a sign of weakness and will continually push for more. Then, once a deal is done, he’ll blow it up and make more demands to use sunk costs against you. He has to feel he “won.”
He doesn’t understand that a good deal means benefits (wins) for both sides. That’s probably why he’s never been a successful businessman.
or had a successful relationship with another human
Well, he’s a narcissist and sees the world in zero-sum terms. You’re either winning or losing and if you’re not doing one, you’re doing the other. The concept of win-win scenarios literally doesn’t exist to him. He has to make the other person lose somehow to feel like he’s winning relatively.
Bingo.
The books behind him. 🧐
I noted them too! Well done!
Never ever trust the Trump regime. He lies to everybody. Look at what he's doing to everyone on American soil, including citizens, guests and immigrants.
Anyone who does deserves everything that happens to them.
This man has run countless businesses into the ground, including a casino, then hosted a reality show as a successful businessman. He has been a con his whole life. There are no deals to be made with people who have no integrity. The deal would not matter.
Canada, publicly humiliate him and his clown cabinet. Do it. Point and laugh. I had the idea that all of our former presidents, first ladies, VP's and their spouses take turns reading his word salad nonsense aloud as a daily comedy sketch. I'd love it. 🇨🇦 ❤ 🇺🇸

He’s a despicable man
What's with the salute???
Am I missing something? Who is he saluting?
Pretending to be important,
That poor singer...I bet at first she thought all that noise was for her. NAHHH just the FELON in the WH
Oh I didn't think of that. Poor singer for sure, so much stress.
Is that dog killer Noem all smiley on the bottom left?
With all this interest in the Epstein files and the "strong arm" tactics by Trump against law firms and Universities, I started to wonder about Trump's former indictments and whatever happened to Prosecutor Jack Smith. He certainly has kept a low profile.
Prices are going up in Canada and there's a measles outbreak in Alberta. We may have to take more 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 actions pretty soon like requiring measles vaccines just to cross our border (which is under the federal government's control). As far the higher prices, we'll just find other trading partners.💁
You can not trust a pathological liar.
Duh.
And Trump is still banging his 51st state drum. So all negotiations have to stop, our ambassadors recalled, and the US "ambassador" sent home.
We are decoupling from them as fast as possible while holding Shiny things up to him in public to keep him distracted. PM Carney is wicked smart. Our unity keeps #CanadaStrong
He is, but will it be enough? I've noticed that few countries want to be the first to make a deal. I think we need some reprieve on auto and metals to buy time but what would we have to give up?
There is no reprieve. Everyone else is collateral damage to America's self immolation. Decoupling at speed while mitigating as much as possible is the only policy. No time for the 5 stages. There's a War on. #CanadaStrong
Hang in Canada. The US is disintegrating like the Soviet Union did. Part of the Trump Putin plan.
Trump is the a-hole one might meet in a sobriety/recovery group (as I am) and you instantly know to stay away from his ass. Because he will happily drag you down. He is an addict. Not for booze or hard drugs, but money, adulation, power, all 7 sins. #sobriety
🇨🇦 .•*°:🍁:°*•. 🇨🇦 viva le CANADA 🇨🇦 .•*°:🍁:°*•. 🇨🇦
He's so one minded that he can't even imagine that other countries will just not trade with America at all to bypass his tariffs madness !!! Many countries are now rerouting their trade to other countries!!! America is going to be the biggest loser in these trade wars !!!
donald, eat shit again, and keep eating shit you orange cheeto
My kinda guy. You're ok, until you're not.
I'm sorry, but WTF did they expect? 🤷♀️
#gangsterregime
Never trust a lifelong criminal narcissistic sociopath!
Charlie Angus oversaw the destruction of the NDP. Complete charlatan
no country WANTS to make deals with him because he isn't trustworthy enough to hold up his end.
100% Agree
Trump is making it impossible for America to be a trade partner.
Resistance Grifter strikes again.
The Godfather Presidency: How Donald Trump’s Governing Style Mimics the Mob Forget the comparisons to fascists and autocrats. The most accurate model for understanding the transactional tough guy in the White House is the politically connected underbelly of 1970s. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/h...
There is no appeasing fash.
Listen to Charlie. As he says this, it confirms to me that Carney is doing the right thing by increasing our defence spending. We need it to defend against the US still wanting to annex us.
You can't trust him, but in a certain way he is very dependable.
I don’t want one of those Lightsaber units. What I want is a push button cricket bat that goes from a portable size to a full size unit. It appears that certain people could immensely benefit from being slapped up the side of the head a time or two if you receive my meaning…
Presumably, Carney realizes that negotiating with a madman is ultimately a fool’s errand, but at the same time realizes that attempting to do so in “good faith” builds up his credibility as a pillar of rules-based globalism and international trade.
Y'all should have known #trump couldn't be negotiated with after he blew up the trade agreeement he personally negotiated with #Canada in his first term Canada's government does seems to be run by reasonable people; trump's about as reasonable as a chalupa operating heavy machinery
Imagine thinking the Canadians are nasty people. You'll have to work really really hard to get them mad at you. Unless you're 47 in which case it's nearly instantaneous and rightly so
I think they all knew he was a lying sack of 💩but thought he was pliable enough to charm. Hopefully that is over now. It doesn’t really work.
Times are tough for a lot of us, and I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t truly need the help. This isn’t easy for me — but I believe in community, and I believe in kindness. What I’m facing could change with just a little support. If you can give🙏💙#GoFundMe #KindnessMatters #Support gofund.me/0af928df
That’s just warm summer shower on your leg. 🇺🇸🤡😢
I really need Carney to get back on the elbows up train. It seemed like after the election, the rhetoric around standing up against the US behavior vanished.
He’s dealing with vicious lying conman … Prime Minister Carney is in a tight spot but we’re diversifying. Canada is exporting 16% less to the States but has increased ⬆️ their exports slightly ❤️🇨🇦❤️ The USA exports have gone down ⬇️ a little
Oh, Johnny, boy, I think you have been asleep. He has been playing high stakes chess against an orange turd that is not even won a tiddlywinks game in his life.
I know it seems that way on the trade issue. I worry that he will try too hard for a deal and give up too much. I think his intent is to buy Canada time to diversify and for the US economy to stall enough that Trump is forced to back down. But how do you reason with a mad man?
Some of us have known all along that you can never trust Trump.
TRUMP IS A FUCKING LOSER!!! IS HE DEAD YET? HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT IN 2016. 8647!
True
“How Fascism Works” in full view there.
And we citizens here have had our hands and feet shackled, beat, kicked, jailed, kidnapped off the street, no respect for our country, all in protest to a monster that is not reasonable, not empathetic, not kind, not truthful, wants to be the dictator instead of president. Canada- we are ashamed.😔
Hey @meidasjordy.bsky.social @meidastouch.com this is the independant Running against Pierre Polieve in Crowfoot Alberta for the seat he’s trying to steal after losing his. She’s some mad PLEASE HAVE HER ON. If you have and I missed it I’m sorry!! They are mad!! youtu.be/QEJm3xPkXgs?...

No fuckin shit sherlock. We warned yall, but nooo the 34 time felon sexual predator was the better choice over the woman
"...Kristi Noem, Kash Patel and the other MAGA thugs that he has..." - He's not wrong.
The entire world needs to do a trade embargo with the US. No exports to the US, no imports from the US.
The world is learning this lesson of Trump. The only people working with Trump play him by appealing to his ego. The main focus of his weak personality.

We are living in a surreal reality tv series that combines the Sopranos and The West Wing. The charactor Paulie Gualtieri plays the role of President.
Mr. Angus said it all. I sure hope Canada doesn't give up on the American people because of the thuggery going on. Most of us are more than appalled. We can't believe it.
Love u @acyn.bsky.social
His point that Trump is not negotiating on behalf of American workers is exactly right. It’s a power play by an unstable, reckless, egomaniac who will eventually overplay his hand at our expense.
He already has.
Carney is right the old alliance is over.Move on to more trustworthy allies.
if world leaders start calling Trump the idiot that he is.... ....it will deprive him of the adulation Trump craves start announcements about Trump with....for example.... ...."Trump, who claimed that egg prices fell 400%, now claims Fentanyl is coming from Canada"
#Canada should task #CSIS with releasing the complete #EpsteinList
You just can't trust Trump.
Ring ring…clue phone ☎️ holy Batman it’s for you!
Well, duh.
it's BEEN clear. come on, wake the fuck up, people.
Trump sees Tariffs as a way to weald power, extortion and an income stream. He hits US major importers with the highest Tariffs as he sees that as getting maximum tax revenues. He has no interest in making deals except for optics. Yes he wants Canada as 52 state (Isreal is unofficially 51st)
Why does any world leader think they're going to sit down and have a rational conversation with this bag of trash? You dont negotiate with the mafia, you outsmart them.
Someone is saying you just can't trust tRump as of there was a time when anyone with a partially functioning brain ever thought you could trust him. JFC.
He’s right. He’s not a person of his word. He’s erratic and unpredictable.
And gross. Like a moth.
Hey, don't insult moths. They serve their purpose in nature.
👌🏼😁😹
#TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison #GOPBetrayedAmerica #GOPHypocrisy and #GOPLiesAboutEverything
So how long will it take for the world to realize that? How many more “chances” he gets??? LOOK AT US!!! We kept giving him chances and LOOK WHERE WE ARE!!! Stop talking to him!
I agree with him whole heartedly!
Offer him a 9 hole near Banff..see how fast he finds good faith😉
Canada needs to partner with Mexico. DJT needs to be in the middle
His wives didn’t trust him, his sons don’t like or trust him but only do business with him because no one else would hire them, his daughters want nothing to do with him, his niece despises him, he has no friends, he has never had a pet and he is a disloyal fvck. No one should be surprised by him.
@charlieangus104.bsky.social justice remember TACO. Don’t negotiate he will ALWAYS give in
Trump has always weaselled around any deal.Why change now?
I learned that in 2016.
Just look at trump's history. He is a professional liar. Why these other countries continue to take his word is beyond common sense.
worldwide & nato boycott= sanctions terrorist state= 0 deal cut electricity...let them cook summer vacations
Trouble is, until Trump is removed he's the voice for the U.S. PM Carney has no choice but to TRY to work with him, and I'm pretty sure he knows nothing Trump says is to be relied on. So what would you suggest?
Look elsewhere
He's doing that, too.
I wish Canadians the best. Everyone is hurt by bullies, and unfortunately, friendships suffer.
Well, I and everyone I know wish Americans who are suffering and non-Americans who are being brutalized by the current administrations policies and actions, hope. And that your current administration will be brought to its knees (or better yet, jail cells) soon!
Known too long.
Of COURSE you can't trust Trump! He is a liar, cheater, conman, and deplorable excuse for a human being. Please ignore him.
Canada is far greater that the US. Signed, an American.
Just a malignant narcissist, there is no modulation possible, he must be stopped or it will all continue to get worse
If you do a deal with the devil, don't expect them to play fair
World leaders should refuse to engage with Donald Trump. He is a clear and persistent threat to civilized society. Shun him.
Slimy conmen is what they are.
Reminder: All THE EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED / COMPULSIVE, petty, selfish, willfully ignorant Dipshits who threw in / voted for (Orange Shitler) AGAIN are Indirectly responsible for this; They're not "victims" of their own ignorance, but Nazi *Accomplices. The World won't fucking forget this travesty🌐🇺🇳
Of course you can’t. That’s who Trump is! You can’t trust him and if you do Well then Do it at your own risk! He is a criminal who abuses children. Period. Also a very very useful idiot! And they’re using him big time! And he knows it but it makes him FEEL GOOD!
Always interesting to remember that the Geneva Conventions might never have existed if not for how batshit crazy the Canadians were in WW1.
Every negotiation with the felon has to include a large chunk of money for the felon. If there is nothing in it for him, he is not interested and will break any deal.
Crystal clear.
Correct
It’s kinda weird as an American to root for other countries to screw trump at every opportunity, but here I am . Lol I don’t think there’ll ever be another opportunity for many nations to get their licks in, and I hope they don’t hold anything. What a time to be alive, 64.5 years in. 🤷♀️
What did people think the outcome of electing a small minded, petty, vindictive man, with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) as the President of the US would be? Did you think he would Auto-magically transform into a 'Mr. Rogers' welcoming all peoples and their points’ of view?
If you'd offered a few teen girls or maybe a golden shower, Trump would be far more amenable.
@edgeoerin.com @minibubbly.bsky.social Charlie, if PM Carney was anything like tr*mp, you would be appointed Ambassador to the USSA.. 🥴 🇨🇦🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
That’s true.
The “art of the deal” is very simple; never -NEVER - honor your commitments. “Word of honor” is just a word.
Those books on the shelf behind him!
All world leaders should diss his lying evil arse
“We are sending a helicopter team of Navy Walruses to take out Osama bin Trumpo, eh? We Maple this one off!”😂
I’m still confused why anyone uses the word “negotiation” with Orangina. He has never, never negotiated a thing where both sides win something. With him, the other side either has a choice to lose, or to lose bigger. Or to not play at all, which seems like a much smarter choice in every case.
#NoMoreCaving
This has always been the case.
This is how I expect my PM to negotiate with Trump
No lies detected.
You’re just now learning that ?
Most of the liberals in the USA knew that after his attempted coup in 2020. The MAGAts are beginning to realize it, and large swaths of the Centrists are too.
Even the MAGAts are beginning to realize that this is the truth! Trump is a conman who lies about EVERYTHING! He's a threat to American Freedom and must be removed from the White House. IMPEACH Right NOW!
Elbows up! Aim for his fukn face!
BOOM 💥 PERFECT 😍
Traitor trump is not a gangster. He's an asshole but no gangster. He's privileged, gangsters usually come from poverty and do whatever it tales to survive in the world provided by the Republican regime.
TRUMP FUMP ought to be your bottom line position in talks!
Stop expecting Trump to be a rational human being.
Said over 75% of Americans!
Well, do something about it.
Ohhh, I never thought of that—it's so simple! We're saved! Thank you!!
Yeah, brilliant suggestion! Thanks for your support.
Well more than half!

Well said, sir!
Loving the total shade he's throwing with the books he chose to face forward on his bookshelf. More of this please. Legend. 👏👏
Exactly, it was the first thing that struck me.
Well done. The book spines weren't enough. The front covers easier to read. 😉👍
None of us can trust this orange monster!!!
That WAS drumpf for most or all his 'real estate' empire days in NY, and other places. THINKING he would be different as president was STUPID.
Yeah, there might be merit in the idea of electing a businessman as President rather than a politician, but you need to try it with a successful businessman not a charlatan more interested in how American can benefit his pocket & his ego.
I would think that’s been obvious for awhile. He lies about everything and knows almost nothing about anything that matters.
I'm so sorry. We are so embarrassed and appalled by these horrible joker thugs in the White House. I'm so sorry.
