Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?
It’s fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.
Meh, weaponized hypocrisy is 99% of what comes out of his blubbery bitch-ass.
No, he’s saying that the atmosphere is a resource owned by the US and that other countries should pay for it.
I mean, he has done more for renewable energy than any previous president.
He’s increased the cost of gasoline, and done wonders for the electrical grid in Cuba.
It’s just another excuse to shit on and threaten Canada.
As a Canadian in the middle of these wildfires, which fire marshalls and environmental scientists have been warning about for years, I’m glad Doug Ford is getting chastised by his big buddy over a problem that should weigh heavily on his shoulders.
And yes, please, set a precedent to start treating the air as a shared resource. I can’t wait to see what kind of penalties get levied against the US once we make that a thing.
I know he’ll forget the whole thing once he starts sundowning tonight, but a girl can dream.
Literally old man yells at cloud.
This fucking dumbass. Lets tariff them, that will surely stop them creating all this smoke. The outcome from his liberation day tariff war was so abysmal I’m surprised he’s not too ashamed to utter the word ever again.
That would require an iota of self-awareness.
Tariff THEM? Do Americans not know how tariffs work? This is like punching yourself in the face and then saying you got beat up.
I’ve had maga family tell at me that the other nation pays tariffs despite all evidence to the contrary. To answer your question, no they don’t know how it works.
As someone who works with tariffs every day, people believing this infuriates me.
punching yourself in the face and then saying “there! that will teach them!”
ftfy
That demented thing can not feel shame.
Oh indeed, and on top of the man’s own innate mental problems, he was also warped by Roy Cohen and Norman Vincent Peale. From the former he learned to never apologize, never admit to losing, never admit to being wrong, and always attack every critic; from the latter he learned to believe that he cannot fail, and in fact that God himself will ensure his victory. He is a perfect storm of narcissism.
As a punishment for Canadian wildfires, Trump raises taxes that only Americans pay.
Make it make sense, challenge level impossible
Simple. These wildfires are exacerbated by climate change. American consumerism fuels climate change. By increasing taxes on Americans, he’s reducing future wildfires.
I mean… https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/old-man-yells-at-cloud
Holy shit
Take my energy tiny blood clot
This assfuck is all-in on AI and data centers. He doesn’t give a fuck about the air.
He could help Canada, but he won’t. It’s all about bullshit. He needs to feed his fat fucking cow followers with endless bullshit. No gaps in the feedings. Bullshit day and night.
The ONLY reason he is aware of this is because the air in DC sucks.
But he is in Florida, how would he know?
Hope it kills him faster
Seriously. I’ve said this many times before.
Not everything Rump says is newsworthy. Reporters need to learn when to ignore the moron.
Rump breathing == media profit. Outrage sells after all.
I think the hope is, if they talk enough about the stupid shit he’s saying, his fan base will finally see what an idiot he is. But, alas, his fan base is fucking dumber somehow. And yes, it’s getting really old hearing this shit every fucking day.
Dump:"Not many people know there’s a “b” in that word, dumb.”
Jim Bob:"Trump is so smart.”
His fans don’t listen to the news that reports on the dumb shit he says, they just twist everything he and his say into something vaguely meaningful to them.
It’s been 10 years of this guy and you’re still hopeful about it? Most magats never hear about this stuff and when they do they lie about it.
He’s this close to understanding externalized costs…
Quick, divert ICE to dealing with that invasion instead.
If you throw enough ICE into a fire, the fire WILL go out.
We need to reframe this as “Trump opens dialogue about climate-driven environmental hazards, proposes punitive measures for polluting nations”
See how fast we can get the whitehouse hyenas to shit themselves
That’s honestly some brilliant spin.
Oh but you see it’s not climate change, Canada just needs to rake 2.4 million square kilometers of forest.
We should hire Trump’s pool guy and pay him $5M to say that he took care of it. Problem solved, for cheap.
Now Canada is distracting from the Epstein files…
I mean, careful what you wish for: legislators could troll Trump by drafting bills that use the same language to go after his agencies that have screwed up air quality, water quality, etc.
Hmm when compensation from America since they are now invading us with vile smoke from Oregon and Idaho at this very moment?
Dear Canada,
I am really sorry about the senile old fuckwit criminal that some of us decided to let run wild. I tried to tell the other fuckwits that it was a terrible idea. They did not listen.
Sincerely,
Your Friend in the Banana Republic to the South
Where does the US grow bananas?
Hawaii
Jesus Christ he is stupid
Maybe they should worry about their fires
Canada has routinely sent folks to help fight American forest fires. Because that is who we are.
We also recently lost one in a Colorado fire
Can’t ICE just shoot the dirty air for moving in the general direction of one of those masked goons? They could fear for their life or something.
Trump should put 100% import tariff on wildfire smoke.
I only breathe smoke from domestic wild fires and AI data centers.
Bet those windmills would be nice to have now.
I think you mean turbines?
I do.
I don’t know about you, but the “filthy” air invading my home is caused by the 70,000 acres of forest burning my own state……
**This is what can happen if you do not properly manage the fire burden of forests by allowing fire to consume the dead trees and ground cover. But god forbid the tourists from big cities see a section of burned forests! They tend to get all riled up.
This is why we wrap tourists in kindling and give them tiki torches before we send them off into the forest in my state.
The problem with that is the tourists never start the fires where you want them.
This comes from the rake the forests guy.
Nowadays he alternates between old man yelling at cloud and batshit insane.
Shit, it is real. peak idiocracy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Old Man Yells at Cloud
I want off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride.
Trying to blame his own butt stench on Canada.
Maybe the smell is coming from the Epstein files. Try airing ‘em out!
Are the Epstein Files in the wildfire smoke? No? Then let the fire department do their job and bring the child-molester-in-chief to justice. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to bring back those environmental laws you abolished.
This fucking guy I swear to god
This is what happens when we don’t vote. GET OUT AND VOTE!
Our windmills arent actually windmills, they’re fans, and we’re blowing all the smoke at you!
You promised to spend that money on rakes!!
I always wondered how they made the wind…
Build a wall, idiot.
Canada must pay for the wall and it must be tall enough to block smog!
And deep enough to block, I don’t know, knives. And quarries.
He’s going to let wind farms poop up, so they can blow the smoke back… or tell’em to rake up the leaves.
Great quality posting standards, good job
… and Mr Trump knows all about filthy invasions.
FUCKING DUMBASS
Blah blah blah.
Suck it up, butterrump.
I just wish he actually cared.
Interesting… Though not nearly as interesting as the epstein files. WHERE ARE THEY!?
That sounds like something that Trump would say.
Drill baby drill.
Ps. This applies also to our pipeline-suckling prime minister.
It would probably be good if the governments of North America could come together and discuss how to more responsibly and sustainably manage their forests. Beyond increasing temperatures caused by climate change, the recent intensity of summer fires on this continent are also driven by the fact that we no longer do controlled burns of forest lands evolved to regularly burn, leading to accumulated dry underbrush. We treat our managed forests like farms, monocropping species onto dry hills that are better adapted for wetter, more diverse ravines. We woefully underfund the departments tasked with doing these things. As bad as climate change is, these summer fires could be way more mild if only we could hold our governing bodies to be more responsible. But I guess that’s where the climate change ultimately came from, too.
We got more than a million square miles of forest in Canada. We’d have to employ a significant portion of the population to do the things oil companies keep claiming we’re supposed to be doing. We’ve never had to do these things before.
We have been measuring how dry the forests are for a long time now. We know why the forests are burning. They’re dried out because of climate change. We know climate change is caused by global warming. We know global warming is caused be increased carbon dioxide in the air. We know burning fossil fuels puts more carbon dioxide into the air. All of these things have been measured, we know the cause.
If the oil companies think paying people to rake the forests, clear the brush or whatever will help, then maybe they should pay people to do these things?
There is some truth in what you are saying, which makes for the best misinformation.
Canada’s fires are largely in unmanaged areas in wild forests not tree farms, suppression was never happening, the increase in fires is due to hotter weather (the north experiences higher increases than global average).
Forest management is more of a contributor in the US (but climate there too).
BTW prescribed burns do happen but they are heavily regulated, not a tonne of them. There were a bunch of deaths a while ago, which increased regs, rightly or wrongly.
Maybe Trump should send the people who rake the leaves here to Canada?
So this is where he gets cancer and croaks? Cuz I’ve probably have my cancer and probably will croak. Hopefully after him. I don’t want to miss it when he does. C’mon pretzel! 🥜 Peanut! Get in there!
build a wall /s
There’s no smoke without tariffs
How much polution the usa caused with all the illegal wars it did and the sale of wespons to other hostilr countries and militia?
Sounds like a scrapped plotline from Infinite Jest
C’mon, catch all the molecules!
I don’t want to sound rude, but all those particles are Canadian, illegal, undocumented and, get this…. brown and yellow and red! And they’re here to kill us, bringing Cancer to our region. The worst part is they’ll just land anywhere they want, stick around and nobody does anything!
It’s almost as if we should do something about them …sequester them in a large box? Capture them anywhere they go into our country?
Do you know they land on your sister? Not just her harms and legs but inside her blouse! Down her undies! Oh my! Everyone’s sisters! We gotta do something!
