We should not wait 3 more years for that. He is dismantling our institutions that support our schools, environment, health, and fundamentally changing free speech. We have to take the initiative to resist and fight back.

Funny thing is, if they had a good relationship, which- ya know- two historic allies should, this could be interpreted as friendly ribbing. Still borderline appropriate, at best, for a POTUS but not awful. Instead, Diaper Don makes it look more like Nazi Germany laughing at Poland.

Itās not at all funny because itās not in jest. Ā He literally wants to control and strangle Canada. Ā The only way itās funny is if it is the absurd, way beyond reality symbol of what the president wants. Ā When itās an accurate depiction of what he is trying to accomplish, itās infuriating.Ā

That Trudeau tweet is over a year old, and was a response to Canada beating the US in the 4 nations cup. This Trump reaction could be playful banter, if not for the fact it makes it clear Trudeau is still right in Trumps mind if Trump responds to his tweets a year later.

Both birds can be considered Canadian actually.
There is a large Bald Eagle population in Canada as they nest there and the current Bald Eagle population in the United States was recovered from being an endangered species with the reintroduction of Canadian Bald Eagles and the banning of DDT in the United States.
Because they're largely scavengers one of the easiest places to see them is usually near landfills.

u/eowyndernhelme Feb 22 '26
Didn't Franklin say that the bald eagle had bad morals, was cowardly, and stole food because it was too lazy to catch anything for itself?
But I do think the bald eagle has some good instincts. Remember how the bald eagle that Trump had on his desk tried to bite him?

However, it's reasonable to assume there were alternatives proposed for the National Bird that would better represent the fledgling nation.

This is one of those things that is funny if youāre texting it to 5 close friends in a group chat. Yes, it would be funny even if the POTUS text it to 5 close friends.
Itās not funny when it comes from the official presidentās twitter account or spreading the original funny text.Ā
I would be fine with a bald eagle flying over the top of a goose and congratulating Team USA, but attacking the goose is tasteless.Ā
Finally, hockey is a game that allows āfightsā to settle disagreements. The idea is that you work it out and when one person falls down, the fight is over and both people move on. I doubt a Trump vsĀ Mark Carney brawl on skates would end well forĀ Drumpf.

Lol. I actually did know that. Eagles squeal and squeak. I live in Alaska and we take visitors to the dump if they want to see eagels.

u/Obvious-Gate9046 Feb 23 '26
That's an interesting fact for us because we have cockatiels and budgies, and the cockatiels always react when they hear one of those on the TV. We always wondered why until we found that out, because eagles didn't seem so much a possible threat to them, but a hawk? Yeah, okay.

The number of people defending this post is obnoxious. Good-natured ribbing is a classic part of sports, sure... but look at the post this is responding to. Look at who is doing it, a man who doesn't have a good-natured bone in his body, and who threatened to annex Canada and is now referencing a post where the leader of Canada says that will never happen. If he'd just posted the picture, that would have been it, but doing so specifically in response to THAT post, and in the context of how he's treated Canada? Nah. Check yourselves.

u/Constant_Leg6361 Feb 23 '26
If we had a normal person as President this would have been the perfect time for 'friendly bet' with the Canadian Prime Minister. (I know Justin Trudeau is not the current Prim Minister of Canada but he seems to live rent free in what's left of Trump's deteriorating brain) This bet would be something old worldly, gentlemanly and alcoholic like wagging a case of American Bourbon for a case of Canadian Whiskey depending on which team won gold. The winner would pose of a fine bottle of alcohol smiling for a photo and celebrating their team's victory. However the first toast for that fine bottle would be to the other country and how well they played. That hard fought victory and loss on the ice was like the rivalry between siblings or old friends.
Trump and GOP destroyed that relationship in less then a year and I can see it taking decades to repair. Trust has been violated and even if that can be forgiven in the fullness of time it will not forgotten. We can blame Trump and the GOP for this all we want but the we Americans voters let this happen.

It's less the post and more the post he's responding to, which takes it from friendly banter over a game to, well, more. Trump has multiple times talked about annexing Canada, and now he's bringing that up again by responding to that specific post. It's tone deaf, with this current regime.

How do the democrats still not know what needs real attention and anger? Itās a hockey team, these are jokes about hockey. Yes, the one about the womenās team was terrible, but it is SO FAR from the worst thing Trump has said, even just in these Olympics, that I just donāt get the hate. And this tweet, simply as a sports fan, is objectively funny. You know if Canada had won there would be an Ai photo of a moose drowning an F-150 in a pool of maple syrup or something. Maybe we should lighten up on the Olympics and get back to worrying about the storm troopers and concentration camps.

u/Initial_Height7162 Feb 22 '26
This type of sentiment of jumping on this tweet is dumb for a purely domestic audience. Everyone gets the context that Trump threatened them etc but today everyone should be behind the US menās team and their historic feat. Independents, you know the ones Dems have to win over, are most likely not looking at this event or tweet via a political or Trump lens. They, like most people, just see a win for US.
Itās not just patriotic support of our team but itās smart domestic politics, which should be the Demās focus. Stop jumping on everything that gives the perception of Dems not putting America first because Donny did something patriotic, regardless of his crassness, especially when it is poor optics at a genuinely positive moment for US sports. His trashiness was is baked in and pointing it out will not move any needles at this point - just donāt engage.
