Trump's Jaw-Dropping Secret Threat to U.S. Ally Is Leaked
Source: Daily Beast
Towards the end of his tenure, Trudeau, who was replaced as PM by Mark Carney in March last year, faced sinister threats from Trump in private phone calls, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to the Wall Street Journal.
In one call, Trump reportedly straight-up threatened to nix a 118-year-old agreement that helped pin down and officially mark parts of the U.S.-Canada border on maps and on the ground.
In April 1908, the Boundary Convention was signed by the United States and the United Kingdom, which at the time handled Canadas foreign affairs because Canada was a self-governing British Dominion.
Trump didnt care for its history, reportedly telling Trudeau, I tear that up, and your whole country unravels.

Hes dumb as a box of rocks, he didnt even know the treaty existed until Voldemort (Miller) told him to use it as a weapon.

We will have to pay for this approach, because uncivilized methods have consequences.

(43,307 posts)It wasn't that he ran and lost to Carney, it was that Trudeau declined to run for re-election.
It was never really explained why, and now we know. He hates Chump so much (after receiving these mob-boss threats) that he just backed away from politics altogether.

Trudeau did not quit because of threats, he resigned because he knew he would lose if he ran again.

I agree Trump was envious of Trudeau, that was very apparent but that had little to no affect on whether Trudeau stayed or resigned

And you made someone dance to your tune regardless. And i think you mean "homophones".
