Donald Trump and his Confederate American Ambassador to Canada are hard to tell apart.

They are both braying jackasses.

The only difference is that one has hair manufactured by Swiffer, while the other one is bald. Can you guess who is who?

If Canada’s PM continues dealing give-away cards on tariffs to keep Trump happy, Mark Carney will be shuffled out of office.

And then it happened.

Last week, when Carney was asked by a reporter if he had spoken to Trump about restarting trade negotiations, our PM responded with “Who cares?”

Of course, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre went nuts.

But you know what? I think most Canadians cheered Carney’s answer.

We have been patiently awaiting serious talks in the hope Trump will walk back his tariffs. And Mr. Swiffer has insulted us again and again. The man thinks he is a demigod.

Finally, our prime minister expressed, I believe, our sentiments regarding the American president. With “Who cares?” Carney as much as told Trump to go to hell, something most of us have said time and again. Trump responds to strength, and that is what our prime minister served him.

Average Americans, I think, are still our friends.

But the cash big-wad squad (billionaires) with few exceptions, are not our friends.

It was an American who suckled the teats of Hudson’s Bay, the oldest chartered corporation in North America (founded May 2, 1670), milking it for all its worth. And Sears, also taken over by an American, was milked dry of cash. Goodbye Bay, goodbye Sears.

What the government should do right now is declare a moratorium on Americans purchasing any Canadian companies. Tell them to hie thy ass back to the gun ‘toting cut-throat country from which they came.

Having said all this, I am still a Kansas City Chief fan and do you know why? Here, from the archives of rock an’ roll:

“They got some pretty little women there and I am going to get me one.”

No, not me, but Trump. Trump heard the tune, went to Kansas City and came away with no takers as a spouse.

Trump tried, but was rejected by all the KC women and so he had to buy one from a former Communist country.

“Jawohl, mein Herr!” the Republicans screeched and nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his matrimonial ties with a possible Communist, bringing the two war-like sides closer together.

The juvenile Republicans then broke into a familiar children’s song.

“You put your head in, you take your head out and you shake it all about.

“You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around.

“That’s what it’s all about.”

To which Trump replies, “Jawohl!” That translates as “Hell yes!” in English.

I understand this makes no sense, but neither do the actions coming from the White House.

The latest antic is something else.

The Swiffer Head shook his head so hard that his brain took a hard right and decided to tear down the East Wing of the White House ostensibly to make it into a private ballroom. This is another lie perpetrated by the World’s greatest liar.

That is what the Swiffer Head says to Americans.

What he really is doing is putting In KFC and a McDonald’s outlets. That way tourists can eat on the run, with a $40 value meal of chicken or a $35 Big Mac. There will also be a donation fountain at the White House entrance and exit.

The “stable genius” as Trump calls himself, is loose.

Carney just attempted to collar the beast.
