“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

So he DOES need things from us. If he didn't need us he'd just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn't have something he wanted?

He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn't like that we're our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.

You've obviously never embedded a piece of fibre optic cable in your skin. It's very sharp and will break off inside. It's not exactly life threatening, but it hurts like a bitch and can be really hard to find and remove.

Kids these days relying on wireless everything and don't realize the security and reliability of a wired connection.

Fibre cable is a lot stronger and more flexible than you'd think. The old days of very fragile cable are gone. You can use it and treat it in pretty much the same way you'd treat copper CAT6 cable in terms of bend radius.

but also higher quality

That's a low bar.

They criticized it. Don't you remember the whole "freedom fries" nonsense?

I would love to see China put an export tax on those products equal to Trump's dropped tariffs.
