President Donald Trump was once again fact-checked following an embarrassing tantrum over a Canadian advertisement.
The ad quoted former U.S. President Ronald Reagan from 38 years ago criticizing tariffs – a policy tool Trump frequently employs. The commercial includes audio clips from an April 25, 1987 radio address where Reagan stated: "Over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.‘’
As a Canadian I am utterly disgusted and livid that a Canadian ad running in Canada was removed, because Americas pedophile rapist president didnt like it. Keep that fascist shit on your side of the border
Okay, but what if I told you they only took it down because a Canadian plutocrat didn’t like it?
Would that be better?
Have you been paying any attention? There’s home homegrown fascists here with a love for the us. Maybe we need to clean up our own shit before we just blame the us
It was running in the US. The target demographic does not live in Canada.
This headline is shit. Trump does not feel humiliation.
Figure of speech. It is often said on a person’s behalf that someone was humiliated by something, regardless of how the person actually felt about it.
I’ve always interpreted the word both intransitively and transitively. No, he does not feel humiliation. He only cares about himself. However, he may have been humiliated from the perspective of the people who explained his mistake to him.
…and if there’s a danger he might, there is a plenty of former entertainment industry personnel to give him a rim job, so he can feel like a king again.
I read that the older you get the less you feel embarrassment.
I don’t think that he Can give a fuck at this point…
Trump humiliated by fact-check
This has never happened ever.
The fact checkers are clearly radical leftist antifa and they are lying /s
Yeah, but we need copium and jumping off points for online snarking
No he’s not humiliated, the guy can’t be humiliated, he’s a giant narcissist. He’ll simply day the facts are wrong and he’s right and that’ll be the end of it.
Having said that, can we PLEASE start pushing journalists to stop using this clickbait language like slamming, blasting, humiliating, etc? It is so tiring.
News doesn’t need to be 100% constant in your face exciting. Give me boring news, and lots of it
You lost that battle in about 2004 unfortunately
Yeah I remember complaining about “slammed” on Fark back in the day. That was at least 20 years ago.
I wrote a similar reply to this post before I saw yours.
I DESPISE this kind of perspective-isolating, emotion-validating, reinforced fantasy world that media has created. The article has zero content, it just repeats the taglines content of more reputable news sites but throws it in among about 3 million ads and slaps a fantasy-world headline on it to make people think we’re winning some points against the literal most powerful people on Earth who are celebrating their victories every day.
Fuck this kind of clickbait, fuck people who post it. Sorry OP.
Just wait until Gen z and Gen alpha grows up and becomes the journalists.

He’s not humiliated if he keeps doing it.
He’s never felt humiliation in his life. He doesn’t understand it.
Hmmm I’m not sure. I’m not a psychologist yet while reading 2020’s “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump” I feel like he feel just enough humiliation in his childhood to NEVER want to have that feeling again. He would “win” (huge quotes here because the definition of winning remains entirely up to him) no matter what, in golf, politics, business.
So… he might not feel humiliation anymore but if so I bet it comes from possibly having felt a bit too much of it early on.
Yeah he has no shame at all. It’s only a week since he posted the AI thing with him wearing a crown and shitting on the American people.
I didn’t see that one. Got a link?
You have to have humility to feel humiliation…
Does he actually get humiliated? Is he even capable of shame? He’s a Chester the molester for god sakes
It is impossible to feel shame, when you’re never wrong in your own mind. I would know, I was raised by narcissists.
No he was not “humiliated” and we should be writing these rags hateful, scathing letters holding them accountable for contributing to this atomized worldview that is literally wrecking our whole society. There is no content in this article, it’s 90% ads all over the page, it’s just the same material reported in other news sites, but with a more sensational headline.
I don’t care that clickbait gets better views, I don’t care that they make more money. We are letting them get away with fabricating entire universes for select segments of populations.
People read shit like this and get all sweaty and satisfied and pump their fists and say “YEsss! Another victory! These clowns are going to crumble ANY DAY NOW!”
As they continue to celebrate living like royalty and bandits, taking food from children, blowing up innocent humans, shitting on the country and facing zero consequences. Articles like this are part of the downfall of democracy.
Look at the upvotes on this one. Embarrassing that so many lemmings jumped on this.
Let me spell it out y’all: Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He is not capable of being wrong, let alone humiliated. He doesn’t give two flying fucks what anyone says or thinks, to him, the ad was faked. End of story. He is not able to believe otherwise.
Yes, Trump doesn’t give a shit – and people get all hot and bothered thinking they can assassinate him with words
I dunno, huck an old, unabridged dictionary at him hard enough, and he’d probably go down.
You would have to bring that in to the White House from outside because they don’t have books in there anymore
They did just open up a big hole that you could launch it through.
This is what dictators often do; Claim something regardless of it being easy to fact check. Their following eats it up regardless of the truth. The only thing he can’t do is remain silent. His following just needs something they can blindly follow. He could have said “Madonna went back into the past and made a Reagan hologram out of 2 spoons and a piece of paper” and that would be the truth and they’ll fight to protect it. Trump’s biggest enemy is common sense. Everything he does is to destroy this and present himself as the truth.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Kind of like his he’s saying Democrats are holding up the government from opening and the media even the local media just trots that out as fact.
Lying… If it didn’t ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
“It was AI or something” is becoming mainstream idiot for “it was edited”
“someone hacked my account”
I’ve seen it applied to quite a few crude Photoshops already.
I think the real meaning is closer to “Me no like!”
Humiliation requires a sense of shame. Which does not exist in Trump’s world.
Yeah he’s just angry they aren’t bending the knee. This isn’t shame. He can’t feel shame.
He managed to do the impossible. I found myself aligned with Reagan on something.
He also liked jelly beans. So that’s two things in common I guess.
Apparently Nancy Reagan had a reputation as giving a lot of blowjobs - and I am a fan of getting my dick sucked, so that’s three things.
I appreciate that you tried to sound it out but unfortunately his name is in English so sounding it out doesn’t work :(
For context the original spelling in the post was Raygun ;)
No actually Raegan, English is fun.

To humiliate someone is to make him/her feel ashamed and foolish by injuring his/hers dignity.
Lack of dignity is:
- Lacking composure: Engaging in behavior that is inappropriate, unrefined, or embarrassing, like staggering or reeling across a room in a very undignified fashion.
- Demeaning others: Believing you can disregard the worth of others to make yourself feel more valuable.
- Dishonorable conduct: Engaging in acts that are considered shameful, discreditable, or in bad taste.
Ergo, you can’t humiliate someone without dignity.
Having humility is a prerequisite for being humiliated.
I dont think thats true, pride is required, humility is a (possoble) result.
Donal Trump posting AI videos on a daily basis: this is real
I fucking hate Doug Ford, but this is by far the funniest shit he’s ever pulled. This is more elbows up than our spineless PM has claimed to be and I am here for it.
Even a fat, disgusting, beady eyed, selfish, worthless excuse for a clock is right twice a day I guess.
The thing I hate most about Ford is that he can be genuinely likable and relatable at times. Sort of like George Bush Jr, he’s got a non-threatening “I’d sit down and have a beer and chat with him” charisma. It makes it really hard to imagine that he’ll ever lose an election or face any resistance to his policies, even though he is one of the most corrupt and directly threatening premiers in living memory. He is quietly dismantling and privatizing everything about Canada’s largest province and mortgaging its future to cash out for his cronies while keeping the masses distracted and on his side by relaxing regulations and alcohol policies and performative trade rhetoric.
And it makes me angry how amazingly well it works. We get so excited about the unimportant stuff he does because it’s simple and fits in a tweet, and we don’t have the time or energy or context to try to understand the important stuff where he’s intentionally breaking things and stealing from us because it’s complex and convoluted.
You’re right I would smoke crack with Doug Ford.
wrong Ford
Yeah I’m sure his brother never smoked crack. 10 percent tariff on that brain.
There was also the time he swallowed the bee
