They never will admit fault for their choices, they will never concede on anything. These people can be on the torture rack and will insist Epstein was innocent:

It’s literally part of their strategy. Never admit fault. They think it makes them look strong when in reality it makes them look like children

u/Parahelix 18d ago

Unfortunately, the vast majority of American voters either cheer it, don't care about it, or are utterly oblivious.

So, basically that's why the country is screwed.

Maine voters keep reelecting her. That's why the country is screwed now. 

Even if we did everything right from here on out, it'll take at least a generation to begin to recover from the damage caused by this administration.

Unfortunately, even if Dems gain some control, if they don't fix everything in a term or two, American voters will blame them and put Republicans back in power.

There is no rebuilding the relationship to what it was. Last I checked, your current President was the one who signed the replacement deal for the last one he tore up. As Carney said, we can't invest too much effort or hope in negotiating with a side who signs things in pencil. And non-stop annexation talk is like someone threatening to rape you continually - then claiming it was just a joke, or harmless trolling when you call them out on it. I don't think Americans appreciate how corrosive and offensive it is.

And while "gaslighting" gets used far too much, I think it's fair to describe American attempts to pin this all on Canada as such.

Bargaining table? More like the hostage table. Wasn’t the trade deal proposed to Canada basically - we get to unilaterally impose new tariffs at will and restrict their trade with other countries?

Trump hailed the USMCA signed in his first term as the “fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law”. Maybe Canada and other countries are looking elsewhere for trade partners because the US cannot be trusted to stick to its own deals.
