Trump on Thursday warned Canada that China could force the country to stop playing hockey.
China and Canada earlier this month struck a deal to reduce tariffs on canola and electric vehicles, and agreed on increasing cooperation.
Trump – who has long had a tense relationship with Canada – hasn’t been happy about that, threatening tariffs of up to 100% against Canada, and lashed out again Thursday.
“I know China very well, I know President Xi, he’s a friend of mine, I know him very well,” Trump said. “The first thing they’re gonna do is say you’re not allowed to play ice hockey anymore. That’s not good. Canada’s not gonna like that.”
Trump was especially angry after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney received a standing ovation for a speech in Davos urging “middle powers” to stand up to the United States.
His latest claim – that China would somehow force Canada to stop playing one of its two national sports – was immediately ridiculed on social media.
“Only a brain completely eaten away by dementia would come up with something so incredibly stupid to say.”

Any headline that starts with any variation of “Trump says…” can be safely ignored.

If Biden had said even 1% of the bizarre, deranged things Trump says before breakfast every day, it would be a huge scandal.

Is Trump planning to force Canada to stop playing hockey? That’s usually how his accusations work.

He’s playing to his base. Any unreasonable American will read this and think that any deals with China will erode your cultural identity. Basically playing into the whole “great replacement theory” crowd.
This rhetoric is fucking dangerous and will only embolden the racists.
