Carney's Gestures in Trump Encounter Carry Significant Meanings
Bustin' into the Oval with Gold and Spools
Donald Trump rolled out the red (and golden) carpet for Mark Carney, redecorated in his personal touch of carat gold. But the real gold wasn't the finishing touches, it was the annexation of Canada that they tackled.
Trump hinted at the idea of a "wonderful marriage" between the US and Canada, suggesting the 51st state. Carney, however, gave a firm and unequivocal response: Canada ain't on the market, it's already owned by its folks.
"Met the people. They're the owners of Canada," Carney asserted during the campaign. And that's that. The people have spoken.
Buckle up, diplomats. This meeting ain't gonna be a bar brawl like you might've imagined. Phew!

Just as Carney walked in the door, Trump fired a salvo, critiquing America's $200 billion subsidy to Canada on his Truth Social platform. If that was a bid for Canada, the people's message to the ex-real-estate tycoon turnin' the Oval into a Trump Tower is loud and clear: "Canada ain't for sale."
