Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

    I’d love to be locked in a room with Trump for an hour, he’d survive but I’d tell the world afterwards what his end goal was and every secret he had.

      He doesn’t have any secrets, he’s literally telling everyone exactly what he intends to do. People haven’t been listening.

      Serious question: Do you think anybody would listen? There have been multiple former members of the White House staff and Cabinet you have come out with scathing tell-alls. Then there are the multiple communications leaks. Then outright just stating that they are going to do the thing.

      I’m pretty sure we are well past the point of revealing his true end goals and ending him right there

        Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I’m still going over the top saying they’re gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don’t even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They’re my team! I can’t let you talk shit about them.

        Probably not but I’d enjoy the hour but of course I wouldn’t actually resort to hurting him if possible.

        I do want to know if he is actually a Russian Asset though.

          if possible

          Unless your EEG looks like a topographical map of Iowa, you should be jumping at him almost immediately or you’ll go insane. I cannot imagine the torture of listening to him talk for an hour without being able to physically make it stop.

            I’m a bit of a sociopath what he says doesn’t really bother me I’d just be interested in getting the truth out of him.

            I don’t want to hurt him mainly due to the legal system. As I don’t want the consequences but I would push the limits until he talked a lot.

            I’m N Irish so I think he’d get I was serious and start talking almost immediately due to the accent and the various drills/saws scattered around. If he doesn’t he would regret it even though I’d keep him alive. I don’t want to be a killer but he has a hell of a lot of explaining to do in my opinion and zi seriously want to know whose pulling his strings.
