Rubio realizing he’s going to be president of Venezuela, governor of Cuba, and the Shah of Iran.

There it is. Explicitly aligning Conservative party with Trumpian lawlessness.
Congratulations to President Trump on successfully arresting narco-terrorist and socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro, who should live out his days in prison.
The legitimate winner of the most recent Venezuelan elections, Edmundo González, should take office along with the courageous hero and voice of the Venezuelan people, María Corina Machado.
Down with socialism. Long live freedom.

We are going to war with Iran because no one showed up for his birthday party, aren't we? 🙄

I’m excited to announce that the James Blunt Museum in Herefordshire has recently been refurbished, and is now back open and accepting visitors. It really is a glorious place to take the family this summer. Please come early to avoid the queues.

The interview that triggered Donald Trump, so much that he lashed out on TruthSocial against Malcolm Turnbull after the former Aus PM dismantled him just earlier on Bloomberg🔥
If Trump is bothered by this, I’m sure he would very much appreciate that you don’t share it around.

You psychopathic lying piece of trash.
We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada — AND NO TARIFFS!

Canada buys more from the United States than any other country does. If the energy sector—oil, natural gas, and electricity—is not included in calculations, the U.S. has had a trade surplus with Canada for the last sixteen years straight.

Carney: Canada should demand repayment of “subsidies” it gave the United States by selling so much of its oil production to American customers at a discount.
So if NAFTA is not a thing anymore, can Canada now start charging real rates for oil instead of the discounted rates? #teamcanada

Former U.S. secretary of the treasury says Trump’s trade war with Canada and Mexico is “inexplicable,” punishes allies and does not thwart the actions of adversaries

Trudeau cites how “Canadians fought and died” beside you. Cites Iranian hostage crisis. Hurricane Katrina. La fires. 911. “We were always there”. He is not wrong to cite these key moments. The sense of betrayal is palpable.
