00:00:00.000 Canada is suffering from unprecedented wildfires, and rather than be a good friend,
00:00:05.360 Trump has decided once again to betray his northern ally and use this as an opportunity
00:00:09.620 to exploit Canada. Carney's response humiliated Trump and will expedite his political defeat.
00:00:16.420 For context, Canada is suffering from unprecedented wildfires. Parts of northern
00:00:20.840 Ontario are currently on fire, and smoke has created a thick fog over major Canadian cities.
00:00:25.840 Some of it even traveled south of the border.
00:00:28.440 This clip from NewsNation shows what Trump had to say on the matter.
00:00:58.440 But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.
00:01:03.320 But it was terrible.
00:01:04.440 I mean, you had businesses closing.
00:01:06.500 In particular, Michigan.
00:01:08.540 If you look at Detroit, the Detroit-Michigan area, they had to close everything.
00:01:12.260 They had to close car plants and a lot of other things.
00:01:15.080 So I've never remembered this happening.
00:01:17.980 Over the last four or five years, you saw it starting to take place.
00:01:22.160 I've never remembered it happening.
00:01:24.160 Trump's response is not one a friend would make.
00:01:27.160 he's using this tragedy as an excuse to gain more economic concessions from Canada.
00:01:32.320 This is despite the fact that the Canadian government has repeatedly helped Americans
00:01:35.880 over the years and asked for nothing in return. However, Carney's response to this is what really
00:01:41.620 stands out. Carney decided to be the bigger man and he didn't publicly comment on what Trump said.
00:01:47.100 Rather than respond directly, Carney has stated that his main focus is actually solving the
00:01:51.660 problem. He's working with experts to deliver an effective response to the situation and he's
00:01:56.440 to get it under control. The Canadian government, under his leadership, will be mobilizing 5,000
00:02:02.000 firefighters and 300 water bombers. Carney chose to focus on the solutions, not picking petty
00:02:07.440 fights with his southern neighbor. This is the key difference between Carney and Trump. This is also
00:02:12.920 why Carney's poll numbers are so high. At the time of filming, over 50% of Canadians approve of the
00:02:18.980 job Carney is doing. This proves that what Carney is doing, it's working and it's working with his
00:02:24.040 voters. Trump has demonstrated that he's not an effective leader. He's a bully that will use any
00:02:29.080 and every situation to either get attention for himself or to extract some sort of financial 0.96
00:02:33.640 benefit. As Canadians lose their homes and scramble to get the situation under control,
00:02:38.880 Trump resorts to finger-pointing and for asking for money. And his actions? They have a price
00:02:43.920 tag on them. Trump's approval rating right now is terrible, one of the worst in recent history.
00:02:49.220 At the time of this video, 59% of Americans disapprove of the job that Trump is doing,
00:02:53.460 and it's likely going to get much lower. I've observed countless people on social media that
00:02:57.980 are shocked at Trump's tone towards Canada, and they're calling it out. This proves that what
00:03:02.640 Trump is doing is not popular with voters. The fact of the matter is that Trump is all
00:03:06.960 but guaranteed to lose the midterms. His unpopular war with Iran, his failure to release the Epstein
00:03:12.240 files, his global trade war, they've made people regret voting for him. Picking these petty fights
00:03:17.760 with Canada, that's just ensuring that he and his Republican friends lose the midterms and lose
00:03:22.920 badly carney humiliated trump not by confronting him directly but by being the bigger man and
00:03:28.600 being a more effective leader trump is proving to be one of the worst presidents if not the worst
00:03:33.640 president america has ever seen and trump will pay for this dearly during the midterms and as
00:03:39.880 a canadian i look forward to seeing him go thanks for tuning in and i just want to remind you this
00:03:45.560 This video was made by humans for humans, no AI here, talk to you next time.
