On the brink of a trade war with our allies and our president is cracking jokes...
Only numbskulls don’t know Reagan did it with Gorby all the time. Worked pretty well for him.
One I remember he told was about the Russian man who’s wife told him to go down to the party store to get a roll of toilet paper. After arriving back to the apartment some ten hours later without the TP his wife asked where the hell the TP was. The man replied after standing in line for five hours they ran out just as he got into the store. He said he became irate and started to complain when some KGB agents took him away. His wife ask how he had escaped and the man replied, they were out of bullets to.
The story is Reagan cracked himself up with that one.
America is slowly purging itself of the Marxist hippie prog filth that came into power. It will take time to heal the country

Its liberals, man. They've been this way for years. Most have no common sense. None have a sense of humor. They just go thru life being miserable and looking for something to be offended about.
And of course, the British troops, some of whom were Canadian, DID burn the White House.
No sense of humor and ignorant of history. Really bad combination.
Canada wasn't even a country at that time.
Is Trump dumber than his supporters or vice versa?

You want to talk about dumb pols/supporters? I love how the Left actually thought ObamaCare was going to work -- even when conservatives kept explaining why it would fail.

There weren't 57 states either because the intercontinental railroad hadn't been built. Lol

We have a surplus on trade with Canada. So, we are actually screwing Canada with our trade deals unless Trump wants to make Canada great again at the same time?

RE: Trump thinks Canada burned down the white house.
So he made a joke about something that Canadians often claim is true themselves? This reminds me of the time the left went berserk over him saying "Tan-ZANE-ee-uh" even though people from Tanzania were saying it was correct.
I guess the Smithsonian is historically ignorant, too.

EDIT: Here's another article about how their involvement in the War of 1812 is a point of pride for many Canadians. It also points out the fact that there are questions about the war on the Canadian citizenship test.

Slave ships to North American flew the Union Jack. They flew the Stars and Stripes.
Ironically, they never flew the Stars and Bars.

RE: Trump thinks Canada burned down the white house.
Quote:In August of 1814, the U.S. federal capital was indeed invaded and burned by troops based in what is now Canada. Facing little to no resistance, the soldiers destroyed both the U.S. Capitol and the presidential mansion in one day of looting and destruction.
The current-day White House, from which Trump was likely taking Trudeau’s call, had to be mostly rebuilt as a result of the fire.
However, the soldiers who sacked Washington were all British.
Granted, at the time Canada was still a British colony and any resident there would have been considered British.
However, the soldiers who burned down Washington were all expeditionary troops sent direct from Great Britain, unlike the local militias and Indigenous warriors who had done much of the fighting during earlier U.S. attempts to invade what is now Ontario.
And, of course, the nation of Canada that Trudeau represents would not officially come into being until 53 years after the events of that war.
Nevertheless, the War of 1812 remains the last full-scale conflict that pitted Canadian against American, and it remains a point of contention between both countries. Notably, the citizenship guide for both the United States and Canada each claims that their country won the war.
Edmonton Journal
So yes, a lot of the fighting in the war of 1812 was done by local militias made up of people living in the British provinces of Upper and Lower Canada.... i.e. Canadians.
But technically, the forces that set Washington ablaze were from Great Britain.
And yes, it still, however, is a point of pride of Canadians today.
My Maryland plates depict Fort McHenry with the words "The War of 1812" under the state name. The last time I went up to camp in Northern Ontario, I had a few people make remarks about how it was funny we were celebrating a war the US lost on our license plates.

Its like cb saying the Filipinos didn't fight against the Japanese in WWII because they weren't a country yet.
For the leftists ignorant of history on here, the Phillipines were a US colony at the time and didn't become independent until after WWII.

We won because we got what we wanted, which was the British to quit stopping our merchant ships and kidnapping our citizens. The Canadians didn't lose their country, but we still won the war. And to top it off, Col. Jackson went down the mighty Mississip and had the British commence to runnin' before either Jackson or those British knew the war was already over.
