War of 1812

Apparently, in a telephone conversation about the new tariffs, Trump said to Canadian PM Trudeau, “Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?” Actually, the British did in the War of 1812. We have a president making policy decisions based on a total ignorance of our history. sweet mother of God.

To be fair a few Canadians claimed that as well and we generally attribute the history of the American colonies to the USA as well.

British soldiers from the colonies that became Canada.

This joke is being blown out of proportion because of who he is. The claim has been made by many before without anyone nitpicking.

@MethDozer the irony of it all is that Justin is French Canadian, and (drum roll please) Quebec has never signed the Constitution of Canada.

@MethDozer the joke is that Trump claims this has something to do with the tariffs. SMH

@DownTheStreet True they didn't, but not really ironic or of any material. Trumps and idiot but the comment doesn't really deserve any attention either.

Fun fact: not all French Canadians are Qebecios.

@Maximusmax That's not his reason though. He has other stupid, arguably stupider reasons he wants them.

It's retarded.
