I can't stand that this piece of shit gets to dictate what most of the world does in their own fucking countries... It's bad enough he's fucking us in the US...

Eh, the only new thing to most of the world is how obvious he is about it.
I was thinking about that this morning in regards to Ukraine to be honest. We in the US NEVER do something because it's the right thing to do, we do it for business interests. Trump made that more clear with his demands for a minerals deal in writing for continued military assistance in the war against Russia. Any other administration would "know" continued access to those minerals was implied with Ukraine retaining its independence.
Knuckling under to trump is stupid. He has proven he is a coward

Well it was fun seeing Trump on the other side of the tariffs I suppose. Responded exactly as one would expect.
Elbows off the table.
This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?
"Elbows up" is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean "get ready to fight" (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.
I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It's not elbows up. It's daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. "Elbows off the table!"
It's a hockey term that Canadians have adopted to mean to stand up to American influence / Trump.
And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence...🤑
