Cont: The Trump Presidency X: 10-10 'til we do it again

[Stacko]

I think we should go with NAFTA 2018 like the text of the agreement refers to it.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

In the normal world we used to inhabit, wouldn’t that be deemed ‘prejudicing the outcome’?

Trump doesn't live in the same world as us, though. His surprise over the world laughing at him in the UN proves as much.

 

[AnonyMoose]

Plus, you know, it puts the countries alphabetically which is only fair.

Or just simply leaving the damn thing as NAFTA because it actually does encompass the entire North American continent, leaving out individual country names for the sake of diplomatic judiciousness.

But no. Trump had to put his stamp on it so the entire world for all eternity will never ever forget that this was Donald Trump's doing.

The text of the agreement refers to it as NAFTA 2018. We'll be calling NAFTA again before long because a good acronym doesn't require you to pronounce every letter.

At least CAMUS rolls nicely off the tongue.

And it puts Canada first, which only makes sense... since we're the ones geographically sitting at the very top of the continent. First in line, king of the mountain, top of the pyramid, etc etc.

And Canada is the only first-world country involved

Agreed.

Not only does the name change make zero sense, it's also an infantile move by the US president for infantile reasons.

And let's not forget the umpteen dollars it's going to cost every single business (manufacturers, suppliers, sellers), transport company, customer, vendor, government (local and federal), municipality, bank, etc etc to change the name at the top of every single NAFTA document, including any and all documents referencing anything about the NAFTA agreement.

Apparently our countries all have money to burn.

For the sake of a name change. Because baby boy didn't like it.

Aw, but I liked my suggestion!

So how do you pronounce NAFTA, then?

Okay that made spew a wee bit of coffee on my keyboard.

 

[Stacko]

What a misogynist piece of crap.

Did I hear this right?

President: She's shocked that I picked her. She's in a state a shock.

Reporter: I'm not, thank you Mr. President.

Trump: That's OK, I know you're not thinking, you never do.

Reporter. I'm sorry?

Trump: No, go ahead. Go ahead.​

 

[Belz...]

Wait, what?

Wait, what?

The US is a one-party state where a tin-hat dictatorship controls the press through intimidation.

Please invade us, we need adults

You know if we do that we'll just burn down the White House again and leave, giggling and drunk on our success?

Anyway, what a ******* douche. I don't use that word often, but the man's a bullying misogynist. He clearly has a problem with women in general, as long as he doesn't have access to their nether-regions.

Plus we're the only full democracy in the agreement. (The U.S. and Mexico are characterized as 'flawed democracies.)

Did you get the Mr. Kurd bit?

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brie...lls-on-kurdish-reporter-by-saying-mister-kurd

he didn't really let him ask his question, either.

He is actually quite brilliant, given that his answers would have made no sense whatsoever.

 

[Dr. Keith]

Well, Kav does seem to be a bit of a piglet, so that's an understandable misreading.

Damn, Hellbound be juicing the piglet up in here!

 

[Darat]

Canada and Mexico should have insisted on alphabetical order.

They perhaps did, but had to rely on Trump knowing the English alphabet.

 

[AnonyMoose]

You know if we do that we'll just burn down the White House again and leave, giggling and drunk on our success?

Wrong.

We'll be too drunk to find our way there, give up, turn around and head back home.

Only to find ourselves lost and stranded in some place called Tuktoyaktuk apologizing profusely to the local Inuit for accidentally running over their team mascot Sally the Seal...

And the worst part of this whole fiasco? We've run out of beer.

Mission failure.
