5:31 What is this democratic idiot saying? Trump did not lie, he said he released "documents" to the public. He spoke of what will be found in the documents. That is not lying.
One point I caught was that while Hillary Clinton was playing the Russia, Russia, Russia bs, she knew damn good and well China was helping her. Thank God she nor Harris got elected even though China did their best to cheat Trump out of being elected.

I am sorry but l have to swear on this topic

What a fucking idiot, instead of helping Canada by sending fire fighting staff/equipment. Selfish malignant narcissism

USA is a disgrace to the world if that is what Donald (The Anti Christ) Trump means by MAGA

America put tariffs on Canadian lumber. Canada used to sell wood to America, but now it just sits up in Canada and catches fire every year.
Trump only has himself to blame for all the smoke.

America dumps 4600 mega tonnes per year of CO2 into the atmosphere, compared to Canada's 600 mega tonnes. (China by itself adds another 13,000 mega tonnes and the EU adds 3300). All this heat is hardly Canada's responsibility to solve.

A BC helicopter pilot was helping put out fires in Colorado last week, he died while helping America with it's problems. Canada sends help, America sends tariffs. If the wind shifted, and smoke from American fires was travelling north, would America pay compensation? It's foolish.
@
Yes they must Mr. President. 🙏
@
Because of Carney my mother can't breathe the air and is getting bad sick and if she dies I will go after Carney myself because she is all I have in my life
@
Dem BS.
@
If Y'all are "worried about the accounting"... ¿Maybe contact D.O.G.E.?😮
@
It's dangerous. How do we know all the smoke is coming from trees?
@
😅😅Give me a break. Really drumf?
@
Trump is mix-up : The Trump’s tariffs are paid by Americans... Not Canadians !
@
Imagine SPX21K at $1 now and $5 next month. That’s why I’m all in—no brainer!
@
The amount of fear BTC at 59k was insane. Glad I kept buying SPX21K instead of panicking.
@
Started buying Ethereum, dogecoin, and floki inu. Probably will bring the greatest returns for 2027
@
You can almost sense the disbelief , and that’s usually when $SPX21K reversals begin.
@
Trump threatens Canada with nukes, F-22A Raptors to bomb Canada, or steeper tariff costs over wildfire smoke.

The unhinged US president has frequently pushes false claims blaming the mismanagement of rival politicians for large wildfires caused by not raking the leaves up in their forests.
@
Your breakdown today hit different, $SPX21K’s fundamentals just make too much sense. 🙏
@
Why does everyone panic and dump SPX21K at the same part of the cycle every single time
@
SPX21K! price structure looks ready for breakout
@
I agree with you that SPX21K will PUMP BIG!
@
How many times do we have to see this pattern before people realize $SPX21K is being accumulated quietly?
@
Great video. Do you still think SPX21K, SOL is worth buying here or better wait for another dip?
@
Comrade Bone Spurs has lost his mind.
@
SPX21K! ETF on the horizon? That could really shake things up! 😮
@
BNB red, SOL bleeding, ADA weak, yet SPX21K! still green on my 7-day list.
@
SPX21K could easily be one of the top gainers soon
@
What’s more predictable at this point, Fed hikes or $SPX21K strength? 😂
@
SPX21K quiet while BTC bleeds. That silence is loud. ⚡
@
Doesn't some of our usa smoke from the yearly fires out west go into Canada as well? Can't control mother nature.
@
Canada needs to fight the fires, but they just let them burn out !!! Put more tarrifs on them !

Good grief, since when did we start sending bills for the weather? Back in my day, neighbors helped each other out during a crisis without lawyers getting involved. Now everything is a transaction. Bloomberg always makes these political squabbles sound like a boardroom meeting, but this just seems absurd. Who's actually going to collect that check?

Absolute chaos! Can't believe we're talking about billing another country for smoke. This is getting wild. Who do you reckon actually wins this argument, or is it just noise? Let me know who you're backing in the comments!
@
Canada is not to blame, thunderstorms, and lightning strikes were to blame. But don’t try telling that to somebody who stares at the sun and injects bleach.
