Trump knows Carney spanked him at Davos and is now having a predictable petty despotic meltdown. But what he will never understand is that in doing so he is proving the points Carney made in his landmark speech.

After their relative performances in Davos this week, Mark Carney is now seen as the leader of the free world. And Trump is the guy whose farts stink across oceans.

(92,538 posts)Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. By the way, they should be grateful also, but theyre not, Mr. Trump said. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasnt so grateful they should be grateful to us, Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
The two men did not meet in Davos.
On Thursday, Mr. Carney returned rhetorical fire.
Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security and in rich cultural exchange, Mr. Carney said. But Canada doesnt live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

I repeat, fuck them.

(1,801 posts)He keeps bouncing from one complaint to another, but they are always the same set of issues. The key is that the frequency of changing direction seems to be increasing.
I wish I had a list of his main focus vs. date to see if I am correct. A list like that might predict his next grievance.
His feeble mind is becoming a black hole of crazy as the spiral of anger tightens.
