“As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale,” he said, drawing a begrudging “that’s true” from Trump before Carney carried on.
“We’re sitting in one right now. You know, Buckingham Palace that you visited as well,” he continued, as Trump nodded another “true.”
“And having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign last several months, it’s not for sale,” he concluded. “It won’t be for sale ever.”
With that statement, Carney essentially accomplished what he’d come to Washington to do, stating in the clearest terms possible that Canada would not be annexed by its southern neighbor.

Christ he needs to explain it to Trump like he’s a child.

he was too stupid to even get into an ivy league even with money, and his father had to make a substantial donation to a lower tier school to even get him admitted.

Is the 747 model one of Trump’s toys?
Why is it front-and-center of every photo in the White House?

I’m moderately surprised it wasn’t the Trump administration shilling for another company.

Ex con trump had to have the meeting at the White House because felons are prohibited from entering Canada.

They are state level convictions. He has no power over that
Yet. Expect that to change some time during his currently illegal third term.

I like how Donald put a fence around the White House. Like that is going to somehow stop Canadians from setting it afire with him in it.
Carney was far over Trunp’s head. He did the thing where he supposedly complimented him but Trunp’s too dumb to realize “transformational” is not necessarily positive. Carney was a diplomat and Trunp was a stream of consciousness non-sequitur lip flapper.

I love that Trump was probably wondering who the “owners of Canada” are and how he can contact them.
They know, they tried to do that on Greenland with the locals. It failed miserably…

I didn’t catch that “owners” statement before. But it’s excellent – and not because it stumped Trump. So many different groups will believe he was talking about them.

Haha yup, just one of the quips Carney made that went over Trump’s head. Referring to Canada being owned by Canadians to a man who believes he owns his country himself was really well done.

I heard he was probing the president of the US Virgin Islands in a phone call for answers on who owns Canada.

White House might not be for sale, but it has proven remarkably flammable at the hands of a bunch of tourists from Canada…

The White House itself might not be for sale but its current administration certainly it is.
