Trump doesn't like Canada's Prime Minister, but he thinks it's easier to deal with him than a liberal. And that's a good thing, because he doesn't want to have to negotiate with someone who's easy to get along with.
00:00:00.080Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. There is a lot of denial in liberal circles today after U.S. President Donald Trump endorsed the federal liberals in a Fox News interview with Laura Ingram.
00:00:13.640They think that if they keep just pointing at a chart showing that federal conservatives are more likely to like Donald Trump than federal liberals, that it makes this whole thing go away.
00:00:22.200They're not realizing what the subtext of this interview clip is. Trump is not saying he actually likes the liberals or that he thinks liberals are more pro-Trump.
00:00:33.300He's saying that the liberals are weak and pathetic. He is sizing up Prime Minister Gumby, Mark Carney, and saying that I can beat that guy in negotiation.
00:00:42.420And then he looks at Pierre Polyev and says, well, that guy hasn't endorsed me or prostrated himself in front of me. He's a conservative guy.
00:00:51.280And so he's probably his own individual who's willing to negotiate in a hardball manner. And so he doesn't like Polyev.
00:00:58.020There's no mutual disrespect exactly. It's just that he doesn't want to have to deal with someone like that because in Trump's world, you obviously, in foreign negotiations, want to be negotiating against somebody who's easy rather than someone who's actually going to be challenging you.
00:01:12.820I'm going to play the clip in just a second here, and then I want to go through some of what the liberals are saying, both the Liberal Party officially, what their messaging turn is, as well as just big influential or even smaller liberal accounts demonstrating that they don't understand what this means for the Liberal Party's electoral prospects.
00:01:32.820And to be clear, this is going to hurt them, going to hurt them very badly.
00:01:37.400But before I play the clip as a refresher, I just want to remind you guys, make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel if you're not yet a subscriber, leave a comment what you think this is going to have an effect on when it comes to the federal election.
00:01:51.360And without further ado, here is Donald Trump in the clip in question.
00:01:56.160...make them more hostile to us and possibly open the door for China closer to Canada, and that would really put us in a bind.
00:02:04.480A conservative that's running is stupidly no friend of mine. I don't know him, but he said negative things. So when he says negative things, I couldn't care less. I think it's easier to deal, actually, with a liberal.
00:02:17.120And that is an absolute demolishing of Mark Carney. He attacks Polyev, and I know there are some on the right who think this is bad for Polyev because anyone who likes Trump in the conservative camp is going to say,
00:02:29.420What? Polyev's not mega? Well, I guess I can't vote conservative anymore. Guys, I don't mind Donald Trump at all. I agree with a lot of his domestic policy. Foreign policy, it's a little more hit and miss, and then I'm not a big fan of the tariffs.
00:02:41.720But, like, I'm not someone sitting here saying, like, Trump doesn't like Polyev? Well, I'm getting up and going.
00:02:48.620No, I understand what this is about. He doesn't like that Polyev is not going to be somebody very easy to get along with on trade, and nor should Polyev.
00:02:58.060There should be push and pull from both sides on the U.S. and Canada's sides of the border on the issue of trade, border security, and defense.
00:03:06.160He prefers liberals not because they like him, because they definitely hate him. It's because they're easy marks. They're pushovers. Mark Carney cannot get through a sentence properly. He's a constant rambling mess.
00:03:18.520In fact, let's actually play that clip before I get to anything else, because this is embarrassing for Mark Carney. He can't even answer the most basic questions that he couldn't possibly not expect to get.
00:03:30.840And this guy's going to be negotiating with Trump? And that previous clip I just played of Trump, it was highlighted by Polyev himself, who's saying that he wants the liberals to win because he wants somebody easy to negotiate against.
00:03:44.300I think what the conservatives should do, and I said this in another video, is just play clips of Mark Carney talking, then playing videos of Trump saying it's easier to negotiate with liberals, and then just pose the question to the viewer.
00:03:59.100Who do you trust more to negotiate with Trump? The guy that Trump wants or the guy that Trump doesn't want?
00:04:05.300You will have a call with President Trump in the coming days. What are your expectations for the president in that call?
00:04:14.300Well, I think, let me say a few things. The first is that the president of the United States, the prime minister of Canada, but certainly the president of the United States has many responsibilities.
00:04:26.780And there are many issues. I can think of many geostrategic issues that the president is.
00:04:33.960That goes on for another 30 seconds. I don't think we need to listen to the whole thing. It's about the same, even into the second half. He never gets his bearings and figures out a substantial answer to this question of what were you going to talk to Trump about?
00:04:50.240What are you going to highlight on your first phone call?
00:04:52.800Conservatives should just play that clip over and over again and then highlight it with Trump saying, yeah, I think it's easier to work with liberals.
00:05:02.320He sounds like he's in a beauty patch and trying to tell us that he likes world peace and he likes being friendly to people.
00:05:11.280There's nothing of substance in what Mark Carney said there.
00:05:14.100But now let's get to the liberal reaction. And many of these are just online liberals.
00:05:19.780But you have to realize these people have influence. Some of them are journalists.
00:05:23.680Some of them are just random cranks, but they have pull.
00:05:26.600And it's representative of the fact that I don't think the liberals know what to do with this.
00:05:33.620Look at this. Like and just their approach.
00:05:37.800They just they're just going to double down on saying that this is actually good for Carney somehow.
00:05:41.340Look at David Musgrove. He says, I think conservative saying Trump has endorsed Carney is just going to help Carney because it'll make him look like he's better suited to deal with the Yankees.
00:05:52.540Who in their mind, who in their wildest fever dreams thinks that that's what Trump said, that he thinks that Mark Carney is a skilled negotiator and he's going to fight hard for Canada and he likes the cut of his jib.
00:06:07.480But that's not what was said at all. He doesn't even know who Mark Carney is because Mark Carney is not a very well-known person.
00:06:14.360Here's Max Fawcett reacting to Polly of posting the clip.
00:06:17.200And he says, it's very funny that the conservative response to being perceived as being too close to Trump mega is to trust him implicitly.
00:06:24.740Sorry, just because if you don't like him or if you don't think that he's always right, that means he's like always lying.
00:06:33.620You could even tell him that clip with Trump that he's actually quite indignant about being asked about, well, isn't it bad if the liberals then win the next election?
00:06:41.400He's like, nope, nope, I don't care. I don't care.
00:06:43.380I like working with liberals more. And this guy is a loser because he didn't want to work with me, like in terms of Polly, I didn't want my blessing or endorsement, which Trump's endorsement in other countries is actually beneficial, even if they're further away, like Germany, like in Spain, France, the UK for more right wing parties.
00:07:02.620But those are usually multi-party systems where it doesn't matter if Trump only has a 25% approval rating in those countries.
00:07:09.700The thing is that 25% will then get behind that party who used to maybe only be 13% in the polls.
00:07:16.320And now they're at 23% because of the endorsement that they received.
00:07:20.160That's effectively what happened with the AFD in Germany.
00:07:23.560In the UK, it helped out the Reform Party, although they're imploding because of Nigel Farage's massive ego.
00:07:29.360If you know UK politics, you know what I'm talking about.
00:07:34.040The problem is in Canada, we are effectively a two-party state, kind of like the US, and the Greens are kind of there, and the NDP is kind of there, but it's liberals and conservatives.
00:07:43.240Trump's approval rating is not good enough to want the endorsement in Canada, even if you liked him unconditionally.
00:08:14.960But I understand that with his approval rating being 18% right now, why would a party that needs more than 40% of the vote to win a majority want that endorsement?
00:08:26.560And then so Max Fawcett saying, oh, so they're just trusting Trump implicitly that he likes the liberals?
00:08:32.240Well, evidence suggests that he does like the liberals.
00:08:35.180He's already beat them in a trade negotiation before.
00:08:37.640Here's another one, and this is a common tactic.
00:08:43.120Max Fawcett again says, polls show that Pierre Polyev is trailing Mark Carney badly when it comes to why, to who Canadians trust to take on Donald Trump.
00:08:51.020Polyev's bold new strategy, taking Trump at his word.
00:08:56.920No, yeah, the polls showed that before, but show me the polls in two weeks when people start digesting the fact that Trump sizes up the liberals and thinks they're weak and pathetic, and he sees Polyev as his own man who's willing to be tough in negotiations.
00:09:14.240You're not going to have, you, it's such a weirdly abstract angle to be like, the conservatives are taking Trump and his word, and that makes them bad.
00:09:26.060That Trump very clearly, in a very earnest manner, is saying, I like to negotiate with liberals more than conservatives.
00:09:32.320And no liberal messaging about how, oh, well, he's probably making that up, is going to overcome what was very clearly an off-the-cuff thing that Trump said.
00:10:36.920The fact is, it's all a ploy to help Polyev somehow get more support.
00:10:42.100Trump needs Polyev to win to help the 2025 project complete its control over Canada and the U.S.
00:10:47.660Oh my goodness, are people still bringing up Project 2025?
00:10:51.160These people are overdosing on, like, MSNBC coverage of American politics, and they don't have any clue what's going on in their own country.
00:11:01.000What is Polyev, his role in Project 2025, and what does Project 2025 have to do with Canada?
00:11:25.640Yeah, and this person who literally just calls Canadians rubes because there's a chance that they actually might take Trump at his word,
00:11:32.380which wouldn't be a mistake in this case, in thinking that Carney's a weakling.
00:11:36.440Carney couldn't even win a normal liberal leadership race.
00:11:39.200He was in a fake leadership race where all of his opponents weren't even trying to make sure that he'd get a big margin of victory.
00:11:47.820Two-thirds of liberal registered members didn't vote, and even then, like, Mark Carney basically couldn't run with real opponents against him,
00:11:56.780or it would have made him look like a weakling.
00:11:58.540Christia Freeland, in her own riding of University Rosedale, as Ezra Vant at Rebel News has pointed out,
00:12:05.880literally only got, like, 181 votes, and he got, like, 1,200.
00:12:10.060You think that's real, that Christia Freeland, with all of her friends and allies in that riding,
00:12:13.960could only scratch up 181 votes, even with free memberships?
00:17:05.660Nobody is only going to vote based on what a foreign leader says,
00:17:08.980even if they like that foreign leader.
00:17:10.580It's silly to say that this is somehow not going to hurt the conservatives in the polls.
00:17:16.260Rupert is also somebody who thinks that Polyev saying that Russia shouldn't be added back to the G7 to make it the G8 again is a big mistake.
