Trump calls the US-Canada border an "artificially drawn line", in what seems like one of the most dumbfounding statements the "build the wall" president could possibly utter.

But which probably isn't, because it's Trump.

God, just fucking leave him alone. Ignore the bluster, he's just trying to get a rise out of you. Listen, Canada, just like, be cool for four years. He's going to talk a lot of shit, and everybody knows he's full of shit. Yes, he's going to try something stupid, and when that happens, everybody knows he's going to get bitch-slapped. But right now, he's just seeking attention. He's not even sworn in. But every time you respond, it restarts the news cycle, and he knows he can keep it going with another stupid ass quote. Walk away, and let him fart into his own mouth for a while.

You know what happened when I ignored the bully in school? I got bullied more.

You know what happened when I popped him in the mouth? He stopped.

The more he gets told to fuck off, by more people, the less likely this becomes normalized.

You don't let bullies run their mouth.

Ok, pop him in the mouth. Metaphorically, or actually. Please. I'd pay money to see it.

The problem is that he isn't the bully. He's the annoying kid who hangs around the bully acting tough and starting shit. He runs his mouth, gets attention, and when the fighting starts he hides behind a dumpster until it's over. There's no winning an argument with Trump, because he goal is to lure you into an argument.

Nothing would be more satisfying than to see him get his comeuppance, but I don't believe that's going to happen anymore. I had hopes, and we've had ample opportunities, but there are too many shitty Americans who are willing to let him get away with his bullshit.

Someone popped him in the ear. It didn't help.

He smacked his ear on a secret service guy's leg. The bullet didn't get that close.

It was in a frame of video. If you believe in photographic evidence๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
