Trump calls the US-Canada border an “artificially drawn line”, in what seems like one of the most dumbfounding statements the “build the wall” president could possibly utter.
But which probably isn’t, because it’s Trump.

Canada’s mistake is responding to trump.
They should respond to America.
It’s generally the media’s mistake in their reporting.
If trump says something, treat that as America saying something.
Stop giving Americans/America leeway on this as if trump is some passing fad. That works the first time.
But after 2016 election, then 2020, and re-electing trump… That’s America speaking.
Trump wants Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland and Gulf of Mexico?
No. America wants Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland and Gulf of Mexico.
The general public is used to trump headlines being a joke. They’ve had 4 years of buffoonery & disappointment, and 4 years of court buffoonery & disappointing headlines. The next 4 years of trump explicitly stating what America is going to do is going according to the last 8 years of republican R&D is going to be dismissed before its too late.
Saying “America states…” and “America intends to…” might wake some Americans up to what is actually happening
Indeed, the Canadian response has been deeply unserious.
This is the kind of shit where you summon the ambassador to explain himself.
