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.”

    As an American, all I can say is “I’m sorry that we have inflicted this Orange Buffon on the world.” Thank you for seeing him as the pathetic loser he is.

    By all means punish America for this. Our voters seem to be assholes and only concerned with the price of eggs. We need to suffer a little financially to learn our lesson.

      I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan bit he wrote during the first Trump admin which is even more true these days. Short version, he compares having Trump as President to having a parent who’s a raging alcoholic: what he does isn’t directly your fault but you still know you should apologize.
