Donald Trump is getting absolutely wrecked by a Canadian Member of Parliament. After Trump went on this bizarre social media spree attacking Canada. You've seen this Member of Parliament from the New Democratic Party, Charlie Angus on our program before. Here's what his message was to Donald Trump on the day the electoral votes were certified on January 6, Charlie Angus writes the following Dear Donald, Canada has something called democracy. It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced. I bet Americans wish they had that now. And convicted sexual abusers. I think he means they're people found liable for sexual abuse. But abusers don't get to lead our nation. We're decent folk. P.S. button up. We're sending frigid cold your way. Love Canada. He's responding to Donald Trump's post that says the following Trump posted again on a day which should have been celebratory for somebody where the electoral votes were being counted. Here's what Donald Trump wrote. Many people in Canada Love being the 51st state. The United States can no longer suffer the mass or trade, the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this and resigned. If Canada merged with the US There would be no tariffs, taxes would go way down and and they would be totally secure from the threat of Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them together. What a great nation it would be. Trump's writing that on the same day that Prime Minister Trudeau officially resigned and now there will be a process to pick a new Liberal Party leader in Canada. Angus goes on to say again, the Member of Parliament who we've had on here who has been very critical of Donald Trump and very strong in a way I think we all wish more politicians were like especially here in the United States, Angus says what struck me about the latest Trump's tweet is that he's just seriously not fit for public office. His nemesis Trudeau resigned. I was expecting him to do a victory dance. Instead, we got fed this moron slop that not even Maga Dimwitz could take to the bank. Putin must be thrilled at the state of America. And again, Trump is doing this on January 6th, the four year anniversary of the insurrection. Not only that, but Donald Trump has also sent Don Jr. To go to Greenland, which Donald Trump has also expressed a desire to conquer and take over Greenland and make that part of the United States again, reflecting this kind of imperial conquest. And you've seen other videos I've done on this. Russia is thrilled about this because for Russia, they're like, well, that's what we want to do with Finland and that's what we want to do with Norway, and that's what we want to do with Poland after Ukraine. So, you know, this is an age of conquest, I guess, again. And Trump is saying he just wants to do the things that Putin wants to do with his neighbor. So they're loving this disarray, especially as Donald Trump is attacking NATO allies. So Trump sends Don Jr to Greenland after talking about conquering it. And it was a particular slap in the face to the Kingdom of Denmark and Denmark because the leaders in Denmark actually had a meeting that was going to be scheduled on Wednesday with the ruling party in Greenland, which is a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. And so this move right here by Don Jr. Was intended. This was a message to piss off our allies in Denmark who are, who was a member of NATO. I mean, it's intended to piss off our NATO ally that we're gonna conquer one of your territories. That's the message that's also being sent on January 6th, as Niels Fastrup writes, confirmed, Trump Jr. Is on his way to Greenland to meet key Greenlandic politicians shortcutting Copenhagen. This could be seen as pretty hostile by the Danish government, but certainly delicate to handle. The leader of Greenland's government was scheduled to visit King Frederick of Denmark on Wednesday, and that has now been postponed because of Don junior Flying into Greenland. So really giving the middle finger right here to Denmark again, one of our key allies in NATO. At the same time all of this is going on, you have Elon Musk making posts as well regarding the territorial expansion and also just making a bunch of other horrific remarks. Elon Musk, Donald Trump's closest advisor, says the people of Greenland should decide their future. And I think they want to be part of America. And he's responding to this post by a MAGA account that says Trump Jr. Is reportedly in Greenland. It's a population of 57,000. What's stopping Trump or say, Elon Musk from creating economic relationships and nudging the entire population towards demanding annexation by the US Like Texas did? This needs to happen. And again, Elon Musk is one of Donald Trump's top advisers and aides and is running a fake Cabinet post. So this needs to be taken very, very seriously, folks. As I've said before on other videos that I did, if President Xi Jinping of China said that he was going to take over Japan and said it would be great for Japan to be part of China and then started post AI photos of himself on top of buildings in Tokyo with the Chinese flag, and then if he made posts that leaders in Japan should be members of the ccp, the whole world would be taking that very seriously. They wouldn't be saying, oh, that's just President Xi Jinping being a troll. That's why it needs to be taken seriously. But also, when Donald Trump does not back up his threats of conquest with conquest the way people like Putin and Xi Jinping and people like that do, it also shows just how utterly weak Donald Trump is.

Tryarmra.com Midas Donald Trump's continuing posts were so outrageous today. I mean, just take a look at this one here as well. He goes the story, I mean, they're always outrageous. The story in the Washington Post, quoting so called anonymous sources which don't exist, incorrectly states that my tariff policy will be pared back. That is wrong. The Washington Post knows it's wrong. It's just another example of fake news. And so the message he's also sending right now to Mexico, to Canada, are those 25% tariffs, massive tariffs on our allies in the European Union as well. And I think what we'll see a lot more is America will become increasingly isolated. This plays right into the hands of Vladimir Putin, who wants America to become isolated and weaker. Vladimir Putin is not interested in doing any peace deal in Ukraine. Putin made that extraordinarily clear. Over the past few weeks, I've covered Putin and Sergey Lavrov, his foreign minister statement saying there's no deal that doesn't involve total capitulation by Ukraine and just utter destruction. That's what Russia sees as the deal. And Donald Trump's not going to be able to get that done while all of this is going on too. Donald Trump on January 6th was posting photos from the January 6th insurrection back in 2021. I mean, just think about that. He's celebrating what happened on J6 2021. And then he's lying in post and he's saying Biden is doing everything possible to make this transition as difficult as possible. I'm not even going to read the rest. If you want to go read the rest, read it yourself. But Biden invited Donald Trump to the White House offered all of the resources to Donald Trump that Donald Trump could have gave every resource imaginable to make the transition smooth. Unlike Donald Trump, who not only led an insurrection to overthrow our democracy, but refused to sign the General Services Administration paperwork to even allow just like basic things to happen, like the supplies to be transferred over the offices to be transferred over responsibly. He did not allow any communications between cabinet positions and and wanted to create a situation to cause chaos on day one when Biden would take over. It should also be noted as well that on January 6th you have Donald Trump filing motions in a case where he was criminally convicted. Michael Popak, our friend at the Legal AF YouTube channel and a Midas Touch contributor, he did a hot take on it. So I'm not going to go into much more detail other than to say that Donald Trump filed an emergency motion to try to stop his sentencing, which is scheduled to take place in New York on Friday by New York Criminal Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the criminal case of Donald Trump and Trump saying that the transition period confers him absolute transition immunity that presidential immunity applies to even before you are inaugurated. That's essentially his argument right there should be noted that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned earlier in the day. Now we are in a process where the Liberal Party is going to try to pick a new leader. And I think, you know, Prime Minister Trudeau did that, resigned. His popularity was very low. It was like under 20%. And I think he wanted to give the Liberal Party an opportunity to try to find a leader in order to take on the Conservative Party in Canada led by Pierre Poliev, who is more sympathetic or very sympathetic to Trump in the past. Pouliev just did that interview with the far right wing podcaster Jordan Peterson where they even talked about things like getting rid of health care in Canada and getting rid of the kind of public health support that kind of defined in many ways kind of the Canadian way of making sure health was a human right. I think Polieb wants to take that away. There you have it folks. Everything that's keeping you posted on everything that's going down hit subscribe. Let's get to 4 million subscribers.

The MeidasTouch Podcast Summary: "FED UP Canadian MP WRECKS Trump ON JAN 6"
Release Date: January 6, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Episode Title: FED UP Canadian MP WRECKS Trump ON JAN 6
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers delve into the escalating tensions between former President Donald Trump and Canadian political figures, focusing on events surrounding January 6, 2025. The discussion highlights the interplay between Trump's controversial actions and statements, Canada's democratic responses, and the broader implications for international relations and domestic politics.
Timestamp: [00:41] – [07:48]
The episode begins with Ben addressing recent developments where Charlie Angus, a prominent Canadian Member of Parliament from the New Democratic Party, delivers a scathing critique of Donald Trump on the anniversary of the January 6th insurrection.
Charlie Angus’ Message to Trump:
“Dear Donald, Canada has something called democracy. It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced. I bet Americans wish they had that now. And convicted sexual abusers… abusers don't get to lead our nation. We're decent folk. P.S. button up. We're sending frigid cold your way. Love Canada.”
[00:41]
Ben emphasizes Angus' disdain for Trump’s leadership and his assertion that American politics lack the accountability seen in Canadian democracy. The message is a direct rebuke to Trump’s continuous undermining of democratic institutions.
Trump's recent social media activity has been erratic and confrontational, particularly towards Canada, coinciding with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
Trump's Tweet Highlights:
“Many people in Canada love being the 51st state. The United States can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat… What a great nation it would be.”
[00:50]
Ben critiques Trump's tweets as ludicrous and counterproductive, especially given Trudeau's timely resignation, which signals shifting political dynamics in Canada. He points out the irony of Trump's inability to seize the moment effectively, further questioning his fitness for public office.
Ben’s Analysis:
“What struck me about the latest Trump's tweet is that he's just seriously not fit for public office. His nemesis Trudeau resigned. I was expecting him to do a victory dance. Instead, we got fed this moron slop that not even Maga Dimwitz could take to the bank.”
[04:30]
The discussion shifts to Donald Trump Jr.’s recent trip to Greenland, perceived as a provocative move against NATO ally Denmark.
Details on the Greenland Incident:
“Trump sends Don Jr to Greenland after talking about conquering it… This move right here by Don Jr. Was intended… to piss off our allies in Denmark who are, who was a member of NATO.”
[06:15]
Brett underscores the strategic implications of this action, highlighting how it disrupts diplomatic relations and strains ties within NATO. The postponement of a scheduled meeting between Greenland’s government and Denmark’s King Frederick due to Trump Jr.'s visit exemplifies the tension.
Elon Musk's alignment with Trump’s territorial ambitions adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
Musk’s Statements:
“The people of Greenland should decide their future. And I think they want to be part of America.”
[07:00]
Jordy points out the alarming nature of Musk’s comments, equating them to imperial conquests akin to those proposed by authoritarian leaders like Putin and Xi Jinping. The brothers express concern over the normalization of such rhetoric among influential figures.
The hosts draw parallels between Trump’s actions and those of other global leaders known for their aggressive foreign policies.
Ben’s Comparison:
“If President Xi Jinping of China said that he was going to take over Japan… the whole world would be taking that very seriously. That’s why it needs to be taken seriously.”
[06:45]
This comparison serves to highlight the gravity of Trump’s actions, suggesting they should be viewed with the same concern as overt threats from leaders like Xi or Putin.
The brothers discuss the broader implications of Trump’s isolationist policies and their impact on global stability.
Impact Analysis:
“America will become increasingly isolated. This plays right into the hands of Vladimir Putin, who wants America to become isolated and weaker.”
[10:50]
Brett elaborates on how America’s withdrawal from international alliances weakens its global standing, inadvertently benefiting adversaries like Putin, who thrives in geopolitical instability.
The conversation turns to Trump’s ongoing legal battles and their ramifications for U.S. democracy.
Legal Developments:
“Donald Trump filed an emergency motion to try to stop his sentencing… he was criminally convicted.”
[13:20]
Jordy explains how Trump’s attempts to leverage presidential immunity, even before leaving office, undermine the judicial system and set dangerous precedents for future administrations.
Legal AF’s Michael Popak’s Take:
Michael Popak criticizes Trump’s strategy as a blatant disregard for legal norms and democratic principles.
The episode also covers the fallout from Justin Trudeau’s resignation, leading to a leadership race within the Liberal Party.
Trudeau’s Resignation:
“Prime Minister Trudeau resigned earlier in the day… his popularity was very low, under 20%.”
[14:10]
Ben discusses the implications of Trudeau’s resignation, suggesting it opens the door for a shift towards more conservative policies under the new Liberal leader, Pierre Poliev.
Pierre Poliev’s Stance:
“Pierre Poliev is more sympathetic to Trump… they even talked about getting rid of healthcare in Canada.”
[14:50]
This shift is portrayed as a potential pivot towards neoliberal policies, challenging Canada’s traditional social democratic frameworks.
The Meiselas brothers wrap up the episode by emphasizing the interconnectedness of these political events and their collective impact on democracy and international relations. They urge listeners to stay informed and engaged, highlighting the importance of holding leaders accountable to preserve democratic integrity.
Charlie Angus (Canadian MP):
“Canada has something called democracy. It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced.”
[00:41]
Ben Meiselas on Trump’s Fitness for Office:
“What struck me… he's just seriously not fit for public office.”
[04:30]
Brett Meiselas on U.S. Isolation:
“America will become increasingly isolated. This plays right into the hands of Vladimir Putin.”
[10:50]
Jordy Meiselas on Legal Undermining:
“He undermines the judicial system and sets dangerous precedents for future administrations.”
[13:35]
The MeidasTouch brothers provide a comprehensive analysis of the intertwined political dynamics between the U.S. and Canada, spotlighting the repercussions of Trump’s contentious leadership. Their insightful commentary underscores the fragility of democratic institutions in the face of populist and authoritarian tendencies, urging listeners to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding democratic values.
