‘Just Watch!’ Trump Slams Canadian PM With Ominous Threat Against Making ‘Donald J. Trump the Enemy’ in Trade War
President Donald Trump fired off an ominous threat to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday, warning of a fate “worse than anything that has ever happened to a Canadian politician” amid a bitter trade war.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, “It is very good for Canadian Politicians like Prime Minister Carney to make President Donald J. Trump “the enemy,” until their Economy collapses, then it will prove to be very bad for Politics — Worse than anything that has ever happened to a Canadian Politician. Just watch!”

The post came amid a flurry of Thursday Truth Social threats from the president. Earlier, he ripped news outlets as “treasonous SCUM” for reporting on strains to U.S. ammunition stockpiles.

Also on Thursday, Carney blasted US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over the Trump cabinet member’s remarks a week prior, that Canada “walked away” after the two nations had struck a handshake deal.
“Canada had the best trade deal in the world before we started,” Lutnick said after the trade talks collapsed. “We negotiated and Canada was going to have the best trade deal in the world. And what happened was that Canada walked away — we had a deal, we shook hands, the president announced it, right? And everybody was positive. Canada made the decision for political purposes. They wanted to walk away. This is politics only.”
When asked about those comments on Thursday, Carney said: “I don’t think, with all respect, appointed unelected cabinet members in the United States are experts on Canadian politics.”
