Donald Trump called Mark Carney as the 'future Governor of Canada' on Tuesday. It's not the first time he's referred to the prime minister as 'governor.'

Donald Trump referred to Prime Minister Mark Carney as the “future Governor of Canada” in a Truth Social post on Tuesday.

Trump’s post was in reference to working with U.S. governors to “save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp.”

This is not the first time Trump called the prime minister “governor.” In January, he posted on Truth Social in reference to China making a deal with Canada.

“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,” Trump wrote.

In response to the jab, Carney said he won’t “comment on every ‘tweet,’ or ‘truth,’ or comment from whoever,” and that he “can handle it.”

      This is how you treat bullies. It’s always been how you treat bullies.

      He’s a troll. Getting under people’s skin is the only thing he’s actually good at. Not that he’s clever. He’s just loud, stupid, mean, and annoying. Like a bully.

    Honestly, if Trump gets around to it, he will try to invade and annex Canada. Hell, even if he doesn’t do it, him normalizing the idea makes it a greater possibility down the road if anyone similar rises again. Do not underestimate Trump’s willingness to do stupid shit just because he wants to feel powerful.

    At this point we are lucky, if Trump doesn’t throw around his feces. Even then republicans would think it’s completely ordinary presidential behaviour.
