“I don’t join,” Trump reacted. “I leank it’s easier to deal, actuassociate, with a liberal and maybe they’re going to prosper, but I don’t reassociate join. It doesn’t matter to me at all.”
Trump then took aim at the Liberals’ main opponent, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre.
“The conservative that’s running is, foolishly, no friend of mine. I don’t understand him, but he shelp adverse leangs,” he shelp. “When he says adverse leangs, I couldn’t join less.”
