And perhaps most relevant here is that China has co-opted Canada in many ways, and Carney's allowed for that to happen. They tried to intervene in that election on Carney's behalf. There were Canadians who were essentially, I believe, were killed in China over petty drug issues during the run-up to the election, and Carney was silent on this stuff. Trump's going to hate all that.

None of that is going to be said directly to him in his first meeting. Trump's going to be very classy. But Trump is in a position where he can really negotiate hard with Carney.

If he was with Pierre Poiliev, who was just starting off and was the first conservative government in 10 years in Canada, that would have been a much harder negotiating position for Trump, who really would like Poiliev to succeed. This is a win-win for Trump with Carney. Either he's going to dominate Trump and get to be the alpha, or even better, they'll work together.

Trump will slay another liberal dragon and convince the world that he is the premium negotiator of our time.

As a news person first, I'll try to give you my analysis after, but as a news person first, I just think that's so sensational. I love it. Whenever Trump does this stuff, Trump, first of all, he trolls everyone, even the most powerful people in the world. We all need that. I just think that it's good for the human spirit to be, have to defend yourself and you should not, life is not easy.

It isn't for anyone. And Donald Trump can tell you that, most powerful guy in the last 100 years in the world. And still, they make his life difficult for him every second. So it is, I like that he makes us reassess the way things are, even things that we take as fundamental, is that Canada is just gonna be Canada forever and there's nothing we can do about it.

Well, he sits around and thinks, well, why is that? Maybe not. Maybe they need to be the 51st state. I think if you did it, Andrew, you'd have to break it up three ways. You'd have to leave part of the liberals up there, the real left flank, and then you'd maybe get two more states. It'd be like 51st and 52nd state. Do I honestly think Trump's going to do that? No, I don't.

But him continuing to push his weight around and to sort of, it's an intimidation tactic. It's a trolling tactic. It gets you off your game. He knows exactly what he's doing, and I'm absolutely here for it.

But you see this pattern and this can come up in any context of whatever story we talk about today. Trump likes to get the announcement going first. He likes to play the whole, he doesn't play the whole chess game at once. He's not, it's not a, it's not a poker game where you got three or four moves. No, he plays it like a chess game.

He plays it as if there are 50 moves and he'll throw something out there and he'll just see how you react to that. And then he can adjust his strategy accordingly. So for all these people, he's not playing chance. He literally plays chess. Everyone else plays, you know, war where you get, you got one move. It's the, no, Trump plays a 50-move game.
