“She’s a low IQ individual.” — Trump vents Dem grievances to PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦 In a bilateral that was supposed to be about U.S.–Canada relations, President Donald Trump turns to domestic politics—delivering a running list of Democratic Party grievances to Prime Minister Mark Carney. From airport delays to “woke” warfare, Trump name-checks AOC, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer while declaring the U.S. “the hottest country in the world” and promising strong borders, common-sense policy, and big investment numbers. Canada gets a cameo; the monologue gets top billing. What’s inside (and why it matters): Dem critique sampler: AOC, Pelosi, Schumer—plus a “low IQ” label that lands like a meme and reads like a headline. Policy-by-pivot: borders, women’s and men’s sports, and a promise that “it’s very simple to sign” legislation—delivered mid–foreign meeting. Big-number economics: talk of $20 trillion in investment and the “dead country to hottest country” storyline—fact-checkers, start your engines. Stagecraft over statecraft: how campaign rhetoric spills into Canada diplomacy with PM Mark Carney observing the U.S. culture war in real time. Media literacy moment: what gets said for the clip vs. what gets done in policy—journalism brain on, meme brain also on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpXhEsstVVo
