Dear Mr. Trump: Rather than appoint Sarah Palin as ambassador to
Canada, please bomb us. Signed, all intelligent life in Canada.
·
Sarah Palin is being considered for job as ambassador to Canada.
She's presently on a flight to Europe to meet with us.
·
If Sarah Palin becomes our ambassador can we appoint Justin
Bieber to be our ambassador for the US?
But
the news wasn’t just met with awesome Canadian humor. It was met with some
serious Canadian ire. In an op-ed, one columnist wrote that Palin “represents
the descent of politics” and that there’s a “direct line from Palin to Trump.”
I’m fascinated by the idea of this direct line from Palin to Trump because the notion that Palin introduced something that Trump concluded totally matches their tweeting writing styles.
Palin’s tweets are all introduction. She often begins her tweets with nothing more than a strong word or phrase designed to whet the reader’s appetite to click on her link:
Trump, on the other hand, is a closer. He likes to end his tweets with a bang by concluding with an emphatic word or phrase: 
C'mon, Canada. Don't you want an ambassador who's a direct line to EASY D?

ReplyDeleteEasy D, that was my nickname in college.........both on- and off-campus.
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to Canada. that Justin Trudeau is dreamy. Ivanka's tough competition but a man can dream.
wait, cyclones for Trump? he controls the weather now?
It never occurred to me to analyze twitter styles. But this is a cool observation. Even at such short length you can get a feel for folks.
ReplyDeleteI am not on Twitter, but these days I'm considering getting an account and follow certain people just for the comedy it will provide!
ReplyDeleteApparently the new thing this week is to talk about how HOT Canada's Prime Minister is. He certainly looks a lot better than our fearful leader.
ReplyDeleteI am finding the last month painful, and the tweets only make everything worse. Posts like these help!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Canada.
Those Canadian tweets are hysterical. Can you imagine Justin Beiber as ambassador to the States? Well, actually in this day and age I can because apparently anything can happen in politics now. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay Canadians! Their reactions were hilarious! The recent meeting between Trudeau and Trump looked like Gandhi meeting with ... well, Trump. (I can't think of any other greedy, rich, ignorant dictator.) Have a great weekend, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThere are only a few miles of forest and a river between me and Canada. I hope I can get there before the wall. They can pay for it with the profits they make from selling cheaper drugs to Americans and a hockey tax. Too bad Palin is still is still in human form.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! You've gotta love those Canadians!
ReplyDeleteGood thing we have a good sense of humor. I'd find the current state of affairs highly depressing if they weren't so ridiculously funny. It's like living in Bizarro world... where alternative truths are standard.
Nope! We don't! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Bieber tweet cracked me up :)
Got to love Trump's tweets because they're always so simple and end with an emotion! Sad!
