Trump's comments about the Canadian border are beyond idiotic

Donald Trump , again, said that someone "artificially" drew a straight line to divide Canada and the United States, I guess that is supposed to have been some sort of plot against America way back when.

Trump complains about the border between the United States and Canada: “…If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it…"










I looked a map of the US and I counted 32 states who have a border with another state that is a straight line.

Just once I'd like to see a reporter with the guts to look at Trump in times like this and say "what the fuck are you talking about. ?"

By the way, less than half of the US Canadian border is a "straight line".

Clues they have, backbones they lack.

Polk signed off on the 49th, that party-fight is over.

Nothing is ever over. That's history in a nutshell. Old claims are always relitigated.

Those borders were "drawn" based on land surveys. Does he know anything about the Mason-Dixon line? It's an arbitrary line between PA and Maryland that was surveyed way back in 18th or 19th century to draw a border

Trivia question: Name a Northern state that is partially below the Mason-Dixon line?

Trump on Greenland: Denmark is really far away and really has nothing to do— What happened is a boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don’t know it that’s true. I don’t think it is..

After the Norse settlements died off, Greenland came under the de   facto control of various Inuit groups, but the Dano-Norwegian government never forgot or relinquished the claims to Greenland that it had inherited from the Norse. When it re-established contact with Greenland in the early 17th   century, Denmark-Norway asserted its sovereignty over the island.  Greenland - Wikiwand

So Demark colonized Greenland, sort of like we did with Hawaii.

Trump called Putin's invasion of Ukraine "brilliant".  Obviously, that's his inspiration for wanting to invade and take over Canada, Greenland and wherever else his imperialist ambitions may lead him. 

There is no way anyone rational can listen to Trump and fail to understand that he is clinically insane.

Ummmm….ALL borders are artificial lines. Every border on the planet is a thing invented by people and drawn on a map. You insane fucking moron.

He's pathetic.  What's even more pathetic is that there are people who support him.

I mean, he says it like there is some kind of natural or God-given border for countries. Of course, he also thinks God saved him to be president, so I guess there is a certain consistency to it all.

Blah blah blah…Hey Fuckface, Canada works just fine as its own country. We rank higher in quality of life, healthcare, education, safety, life expectancy etc than the USA. Maybe focus on fixing your own states you fucking knucklehead.
