President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.

The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”

I'm just surprised that people think Carney, our prime minister, should antagonize Trump, who is currently master and chief of one of the largest, if not the largest military force in the world, over his stance on trans people. And to do it when he's there for trade talks.

I'm just surprised that people think that Carney sitting there and refusing to engage in Trump's bullshit, when the purpose of his visit is to negotiate trade on behalf of our entire country.

I'm not sure why anyone thinks Carney's priority should be arguing with Trump over trans people, when we currently have a trade war going on, that can easily devolve into an actual war....

I'm not sure why he's wasting time on that orange turd. He should be getting the rebuild of our lost industries going and telling the americans to GTFO and eat dirt at this point. Stengthen ties with EU and Mexico now.

I'm aware that the feds have been working on more international trade with our allies in Asia/Europe/anywhere that isn't the USA....

I was commenting the other day to my SO that most products don't even need to be "made in Canada" for me to want to buy them, they just need to say "not a product of the USA" and I'll consider it a viable option to buy.

Anything made in the USA, I try to avoid or find non-US made alternatives.
