I have watched it so many times and each time I have to pause it to stop laughing. When you consider everything in the lead up to this event, this really is the best press availability ever.
At 29:37 of the video below, President Trump is asked:
MEDIA: “Is there anything the Prime Minister can say to you today to change your mind on tariffing Canada?” … “Is there anything he can say to you, in the course of your meeting today, that could get you to lift tariffs on Canada?”
TRUMP: “No.”
MEDIA: “Why not?”
TRUMP: “Just the way it is.”
.
The last five minutes are so funny, so brutally honest, so genuinely instructive of the baseline from which all of the future trade aspects will take place, that it just makes you laugh at the simplicity of the problem that Canada faces. “We don’t really want cars from Canada,” in reality we don’t want anything from Canada… lolol.
“Look, this is all friendly.” Carney is just sitting there, like a doofus.
Best President Ever!
This old bugger is laughing at just the points you are pointing out. Trump is the best. God bless him
👉Looking forward to the 3rd term for President Donald J Trump 👈
Trump 2028!!
👉This was a transparent and effective master class by President Donald J Trump acting as our duly elected Constitutional Republic President with many of his “Art of the Deal” skills on display. 👈
Just gotta love him.
A breath of human, breathing, fresh air!
Thank God, for the millionth time!

And schooling J.D. Vance and Msrco on “how its done”.
So what is PT special announcement before he travels to the Middle East?
chyna tarrif deal?
that will be huuuuuuge!
well, we’ll find out in 6 days or less
USA pharmaceutical industry.
Those b@stards put not just the US but the whole world through the wringer during covid and did all they could to keep the gravy train going thereafter. One of the biggest lobbies in DC. Anything PDJT can do to curb them is fine by me.
They demonized an antiparasitic drug used around the world on a weekly basis by millions taken like a vitamin pill to keep away deadly parasites (ivermectin).
Meanwhile equatorial countries around the world were sending back vaccines to the WHO telling them we don’t have any Covid here so dont need to give our people vaccines.
Now we find the vaccine is the weaponized gain of function monster killing people who were never at risk.
I hope he cuts them a second orifice to stick their heads in.
👍 BINGO! Exactly. Covid was for the vaccines, not the other way around. Once one grasps that, a whole lot falls into place. Yet, people are still getting boosters. 🤷♀️
In other words, it’s all about THE MONEY!
Not logical people!
Makes sense. Had been waiting on hearing about plans to make our own mission critical drugs.
Now, the question is who benefits? Certainly, we the people do by that happening.
But someone still has to benefit from producing here. My mind wonders is it new start ups, or independent manufacturers fulfilling orders for existing Big Pharma (Novartis, Jenssen/J+J, Moderna, and so on), or is it Big Pharma themselves who will aim to produce locally?
Or is it maybe one party for new, still patent protected drugs, and a totally different group of people for/companies for the generics, which is almost all of the “Critical drugs” like antibiotics , insulin, etc.
I’ll have to do some research on this.
finalized canada’s purchase price?
^^^^
knee slapper
Wait a bit, the price is falling rapidly.
I hope it is to make Big Pharma accountable for the consequences of their actions, requiring compensation for injuries.
The possibility that essential medications will be made in the USA would be ideal.
We can’t be dependent on a weak link in the supply chain. Friends and allies too quickly become adversaries to put American lives in their hands.
Great minds think alike!

Hey, if I am going to dream, I will dream bigly!
And not yet tired of winning….we are only getting started!
Sure hope so, we’re incredibly vulnerable here
So PDJT along with RFKJr will be cutting Big Pharma off at the knees.Good. In Trump 1.0 PDJT always said USA should have the same cheap pricing Big Pharma gave outside the USA. Let’s hope that just one aspect of the announcement.
Yup, the biotech stocks crashed shortly after noon today and kept sinking all day, right at the same time as Trump’s announcement. They were mostly all down well over 20% for the day.
Time to buy if I have liquidity…
This I think this has something to do with that…
This man’s name is unfamiliar to me, but the indication is it’s good news all around.

I think it’s about forcing Big pHarma to charge US citizens the same bargain basement prices as everybody else in the world pays for the same medications. Why should US citizens pay more?
Please, please, please, please….
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
I honestly don’t know what that could be there is SO much wrong with that monstrous industry. The good news is we won’t have to fund the pharmaceutical craziness in the Military anymore. Praise God!

I’m praying for an announcement that we can buy Ivermectin over the counter, and Hydroxychloroquine as well.
GOOD! That’s a huge security consideration.
Yippie! Praise to God and our very own Genius PDJT!
Thank you SD for the heads up ❤️
I thought it was going to be a deal with India; however, I am concerned that their war drums may have drowned that out.
I wonder if Modi has taken a page out of The Art of the Deal” in order to impact the deal a little more in his favor.
Saudi Arabia normalizes relations with Israel and joins the Abraham accords.
My prediction…
Iran follows the Houthis, and capitulates, with a deal that enables Iran to join the nations as a non-rogue state, in exchange for verifiable giving up any aspirations for nukes.
Saudi Arabia joining Abraham Accords
We are in synch. 👍
Via Clay & Buck
Will never forget Clay back in his hometown early spring 2021 for a fund raiser for a big state senator. The first thing out of Clay’s mouth was “we have to move on from the 2020 election”. Have not listened to Clay since that day. He is not on our side.
I hear ya! I miss Rush.
Buck Sexton was also in photos as part of the DeSantis team during his failed campaign.
Just reporting where my DH heard it to give credit.
Truly is a joy to watch. Sad so many TDS citizens are missing the show. Crazy to think about , how much power media has….he is the best ever…by far.
Trump is acting like a president that holds all the cards.
Yes, it seems like that’s the whole point of the comments – demonstrating who holds the cards, as a predicate to making the deal.
I’m hearing something like, “We’re all friends here, but you need us, and we don’t need you. What we have been doing is really over-the-top generous, things have changed, and it’s time to reexamine the relationship.”
This is exactly what I, we, voted for.
This is the best moment since Nov 5, 2024. So much winning.
I chuckle at imagining all of the “Policy Experts” and “Kennedy School Graduates” watching this live at the State Dept and choking on their cucumber sandwiches.
…cut into triangles with no crust.
Sundance has such a way ensuring we can visualize the moment!😂
DD
Who is pouring tea?
Not sure Aggiegirl, but unfortunately the DOS is probably paying $500 per cup.
We all did, into Boston Harbor.
Just a different day, and different look.
MAGA!!
Thanks, Sundance!!
Did anyone notice, at the very end, the little smile and the raised eyebrows from Vance to Trump? (So inside.)
🙂
I’m not sure how Vance didn’t break out laughing a few times.
He did laugh, along with Carney and Rubio, when Trump said that limousine service for everyone would have been cheaper than the Cal high speed rail to nowhere.
Am liking the smile from Secretary Rubio in that big picture above…
JD and Rubio had these little smirks on their faces. Those 2 guys are learning valuable lessons to aid them in future endeavors by sitting at the knee of Trump.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I just zoomed in on Vance toward the end just to catch his facial expressions.
I much prefer Stephen Miller over both JD and Rubio. Stephen Miller is the real deal. He doesn’t need ‘lessons’. And I do not trust Vance or Rubio. Probably never will.
I did. Watched Vance’s body language. Carney looked as if he wanted the floor to swallow him as he flicked at his trouser leg. The stiffness of his colleagues upright on their chairs! I’m still chuckling especially as Carney wrecked our economy in the UK with his coddling of net zero crazies. Pompous twat.
I’m relieved that President Trump said we really don’t need deals.
Good. Keep the tariffs in place Mr. President.
It’s gonna be easier to watch that over & over because that particular chunk of red meat is going to be present on every show Fox runs for several days and several others in various media. It’s a feelgood chuckle machine.
EU pal
JD Vance couldn’t hold back his laughter when Trump explained how the Canadian PM said if cars were tariffed 25%, it would be the end of Canada and Trump said, “That’s a strange answer, but I understand his answer.” Around 32:23.
Isn’t that what Trudeau said?
Carney is not used to being around real people. It’s a too much for him to handle.
He is just another ELITIST POS
Justin’s cousin….read that somewhere!?
did you see carney shoot PT a major side eye
when PT said “we don’t really need cars from Canada.” 😂
it was a “huh?” moment that Carney never saw coming –
but the truth is often like that! 🤣
Carney looked to me to be clearly out of place in this setting.
He was a boy amongst men.
No, Carney knew his place and had the good sense to keep his mouth shut.
Let’s see if he wants to run his mouth after he goes home…..
In that alone he has shown himself to be politically smarter than that green T-Shirt gnome that was at the WH a few weeks ago.
It was obvious from the IC run mockingbird msm questions they sided with Carney and Canada!!! Now President Trump needs to “tariff” (verb) the msm!!! JMO
Poor Carney
Hemmorhoids are like that, always at the most inconvenient times! 🙁
Lifer bureaucrats like Carney, and the EU plutocrats, are way out of their depth when dealing with a bare knuckles master negotiator like PDJT…. it’s like loosing a lion inside a sheep pen.
It comes from a life living in their echo-chamber bubble. They aren’t ready for life out side.
I saw most of this on Newsmax earlier today. I couldn’t stop laughing. I love President Trump. He has balls of steel.
Bench Optics: Vance and Rubio are “on deck”>> MAGA policy continuity + national security. Trade imbalance affects the economy; MAGA economic policies builds national security. Just in one photo op. 🙂
And President Trump learned how to deal with crooked politicians during all his years of doing business in NYC!
I wonder if Carney had a butt plug up his ARSE so he wouldn’t shit all over himself after PDJT got done with him.
Loved the Air Force One model with our President’s preferred and new paint scheme, sitting on the table.
I noticed that too.
He’s just so…. Trump.
Trump is so mean.
He is supposed to sell out America — especially the middle class — the way the corporate media and the leftist elitists want; and Trump just won’t play along.
He is so mean… And thank goodness he is! MAGA!!
Lmao! They’re so screwed!
Seeing this made me wonder what Canadas trade deficit is with China? Below is what I pulled from Perplexity AI for Y/E 2024:
Canada currently runs a significant trade deficit with China. In 2024, Canada’s trade deficit with China was approximately 57.9 billion Canadian dollars, with imports from China totaling about 87.6 billion Canadian dollars and exports to China only reaching 29.8 billion Canadian dollars2. This deficit has been persistent, though it slightly decreased from the previous year.
Recent trade tensions have further complicated the relationship. In response to Canadian tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum, China imposed retaliatory tariffs in March 2025 on key Canadian agricultural and food products, including a 100% tariff on canola oil, oil cakes, and peas, and a 25% duty on aquatic products and pork45. These measures are expected to negatively impact Canadian exporters, particularly in the agriculture sector.
Despite these challenges, trade between the two countries remains substantial, but the imbalance continues to favor China, resulting in an ongoing trade deficit for Canada.
By extension, Canada runs a $200,000,000 surplus against the USA. That allows Canada to run a deficit against Chyna and still have some money left for their socialism thanks to USA.
China uses Canada to make even more money off of American consumers.
Conservative Canadians (not all, but far too many) seem to be having a fit now because our President praised Carney (omg!) and basically steamrolled Carney.
Pierre Delecto Pollievre would have obviously, obviously stood up to POTUS and give him the what for! No more 51st state jokes if only Pierre!
lol
News flash: it didn’t matter who was the Canadian PM, they all would have been put in their place.
Joe Rogan says that he offered to have Canadian candidate Pierre Poilievre on the Podcast but Pierre’s team said no because they felt it would be too “problematic.”
One in a long line of “tells” that PP is a WEF backed, Uniparty stooge, playing a role.
At leadt Carney is an honest thief, in comparison to a RINO-type dishonest thief.
Many new media people offered him discussions/interviews.
Canadian and American , both.
His media team turned them all down.
Except for that, he ran a Trump-lite campaign: big rallies and flags.
I suspect that single difference is what put Trump over the top and Poilievre under it.
That sounds very similar to the excuses made by the Kamala campaign on why she didn’t do an interview with Rogan. Losers think alike.
We do need heavy crude oil from Canada. Or from somewhere. There is not enough of it in the US. 70% is imported.
So there is that.
The U.S. does have heavy crude deposits, a rather large amount, in California, Utah, and Alaska.
We just need to get production going (likely not in California, but Utah and Alaska would be a good start).
Eric never seems to acknowledge that Obama, JoeBama and US Green Weenies have spent allot of time putting regulations in place, supported by the Uni-Party Congress and Financial Puppet Masters … to keep the US dependent on Off-Shore sources of fuel, minerals and manufactured goods … to match their Wall Street Investments.
previously the US purchased oil from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico and South America
I am sure that Saudi Arabia will sell the US all it wants
Heavy crude is what the US gets from Venezuela and Mexico. The US buys heavy crude because it is cheaper and our refineries are set up to run heavy crude whereas most other countries (Europe, Japan) can’t handle heavy sour crude.
US refineries can run all light sweet crude too, but they aren’t optimized for it.
I saw the words “heavy crude oil,” and somehow the first thing I thought of was Jasmine Crockett.
Oh. Wait. She’s not a “bubblin” crude like the one Uncle Jed found.
She’s a “babblin” crude.
Why was the Big 3 in Canada in the first place. 🤔
To dive up the “destination” charge? Ship through the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes??
It never made sense…unless. Mmhm.
The best part- Carney laid the trap but instead of snaring Trump, he has his leg in it, all tore up, and unable to escape.
We don’t need their cars. Or their food. All things we produce here.
They need our economy more than we need their goods.
The best President ever.
A pretty awsome Tuesday for US, Canada not so much. Right to his face, we don’t want cars, aluminum or steel from Canada, would you like a hat? Have a nice day!
At the end Carney kept trying to weigh in, but either PDJT didn’t see him, or ignored him. And then terminated the Q&A.
I don’t like him, but by the end I started having a bit of sympathy for him. He realized he was getting rolled and the few times he got a chance to speak I think he realized those previously used platitudes just won’t cut it with President Trump. 😂
🤣 🤣 🤣
“Just the way it is.”
A remark as good as FAFO.
“Carney is just sitting there, like a doofus.”
And in a very Forrest Gump way. . . Doofus is as doofus does.
Carney with the legs crossed and PDJT in full man spread.
Carney was sitting on the very edge of his seat to make himself appear larger. I thought he might fall off at some point.
The rest of the Canadian contingency was afraid to make a peep.
The snotty Canadian media is still making fun of the “Disrupter in Chief”.
😁 He was pretty much outclassed! Maybe he can compare notes about his Oval Office experience with the UK doofus Starmer.
Or that idiot from Ukraine.
As a Canadian who despises the Liberals, this was so gratifying to watch…to see President Trump hand Mark Carney his balls in a doggy bag was priceless.
Almost as priceless as the look my stupid TDS-infected fellow-Canadians will have on their faces when they realize they voted for a fourth TRUDEAU term and President Trump STILL beat them!
51st State, can’t WAIT! MAGA!!!
Sorry, just a territory – at least until all the moonbats up there smarten up.
Who knows, maybe you’ll have more luck with that than we do in the blue states here. Ours appear incurable.
The Canadian definition of “Elbows Up” is taking punches like a doofus and then apologizing if the person punching you hurt his hand.
Well done voting Canada.
Canada is getting a ‘reset’ under Carney but it’s not the one planned by the UN, Bilderburg and WEF.
I think it’s going to be a China trade deal announcement because the CCP is realising that, if the USA doesn’t need their neighbour Canada’s products, then the country definitely doesn’t need the products of an aggressive, undermining competitor on the other side of the world.
Said the Big Announcement is NOT a trade deal, or about Trade.
I’m thinking Iran…
Canada tariffs us GREATLY on milk products, for example. Don’t complain to us about tariffs, when you’ve been doing the same to us for years with no response!
Presidents from now on will be expected to DO SOMETHING, to make life better for the American people to elevate our standing in the world.
I wonder if Carney regrets his Time Magazine “Eff you, Donald”/flipping the bird” cover?
I think so! If not yet, he certainly will by the end of this visit.
My, oh my…. how different they talk when in actual negotiations and not campaign speeches. Could Doug Ford sound any softer (perhaps even a bit conciliatory)? He had nothing but good things to say about the Carney/Trump meeting

Brian Lilley
@brianlilley
Ford says it’s clear that Trump likes Carney more than Trudeau.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford reacts to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s appearance in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump.
Video linked….
Ford looks deflated and defeated in this interview. He knows that Ontario is up bc a creek without a paddle. Socialism, unvetted predominately male illegals and net zero – the same Carney crazies in the UK.
“Trump likes Carney more than Trudeau.” That’s not saying much.
Early days yet.
Ford is a Liberal brown-noser.
Watching Carney’s flaccid attempts at trying to get a word in edgewise, shuffling his legs, grimacing, only to have OrangeManBadass say, “ thank you, goodbye everbody”.
MASTERCLASS
#WOLVERINES
I hope someone in President Trump’s circle sees this.
His voice is weak and fatigued. It could be the statins he is on. I personally had this happen. Same fatigued voice. It happens quickly.
Get him off of the danged statins at least temporarily.
President Trump is so important, he is vital to establishing a MAGA foundation.
His schedule is too intense to take the chance on this.
It is amazing all that he is accomplishing and I’m glad Carney was amenable.
Carney:
“50% of the car is made in Canada, and 50% in the U.S. and thats a beautiful thing you won’t find anywhere else in the World.”
PDJT:
“And its about to end, because the American tax payer does NOT think its a beautiful thing, we will make our cars 100% in the U.S., and Canada will not be able to justify having its own car industry, so they will buy ours.
And THAT will be a beautiful thing!”
Nailed it.
“Look, this is all friendly.” Carney is just sitting there, like a doofus.
President Trump demonstrating how to “take someone behind the woodshed”, without actually taking them behind the woodshed, and having a bit of a laugh while doing it.
How long will it take before Carney realizes what happened today?
When he has to tell his people the car factories are closing but even then he won’t get it until one of his aids connects the dots for him.
I can’t say I understand fully the art of the deal…
However, I’ve seen Trump meet a lot of world leaders. He mostly will show respect and greatly compliment the leader he is with. Even ones he has had tensions with….especially when he wants a deal.
I’m not so sure he likes Carney that much. He seemed to be fine embarrassing him. Trump pretty much said that he just doesn’t care what Canada does.
Maybe it is a personal thing with Trump. I tend towards the idea that Trump doesn’t consider Canada a real nation.
I think it’s because Carrey talked major trash during his campaign. Talked big, thumped his chest…puffed it out…..
Trump had to knock him down a peg. Trump is correct, we don’t need their crap we can just build it here.
Canada had the opportunity to talk tough like it has for months. It decided to do what Canucks do, get on their knees and beg. Not so tough now
just the way it is – Premiere Smith needs to do what’s in the best interests of her people, not the EU, China or Globalists
Reminds me of back in the day you would purposefully let a little kid win at checkers, cards etc to give him or her some confidence or to make them happy whatever..THOSE DAYS ARE OVER!! Canada is a fully grown nation and they need to be BOOTED FROM THE NEST!!! For God’s sake it’s really not that difficult a concept…..jeepers creepers
From a Canadian perspective…
Brian does not understand the US is the customer. You have to listen to what the customer says and wants. Do not contradict the customer in public.
Lilley gets an “A” for being a loyal Canadian and an “F” for lying.
How many Bill Kristols do the Canadian people have? 🤣
This Brian guy is a moron. The Zelensky treatment could never happen to Carney; Z man came in a laughing stock. Carney came in as this new self-proclaimed bad ass MOFO, who will put the Don in his place.
And now that the meeting is over, people like Brian, are doing their best to reshape the meeting. Carney was slapped down.
I love Trump! And he’s right!
We don’t even need lumber from Canada and we certainly don’t need dairy products. America was blessed with all the resources it needs to survive and thrive. It’s the overlords who began restricting us as to using our own resources because they are greedy buzzards who wanted to leverage our resources for their own personal gain while taking advantage of the taxpayer. It’s really that simple and Trump understands that.
Carney conducted himself fairly well, considering.
I wonder, how much time he was able to spend getting to know President Trump, before this ordeal?
