Kind of like calling others bigots, racists, and Nazis has negative effects on civil discourse, and might lead to negative consequences like shooting people publicly...

He's not alone in that belief.
And that's the beginning of an interesting rabbit hole to go down.
It's not a very deep rabbit hole yet. It's still very much under construction. But what's there is interesting...

His overt statements of support for Carney could be taken as "interference", particularly in light of his tariff actions against Canada as well as his "51st state" rhetoric and constant references to PMJT as "governor". I can't recall if he's referred to PMMC as such yet.
He did once, but it was by accident & they joked about it after...
EDIT - My mistake. (Video speaks for itself)
The relationship between Carney and Trump is an interesting one, especially when we look at what we can from prior to the election.
(I'm referencing Brookfield bailing out Jared Kushner's business for approx $1B. Jared Kushner being Donald Trump's son-in-law.)
Or at the very quiet, yet incredibly fast inroads American interests (both private & public) have made into our natural resources sectors - in particular the mining of rare earth metals/minerals.
Even the US government now has a stake in at least one Canadian mining project.
‘Conflict of interest’: Experts share concerns of U.S. stakes in Canadian miners
The U.S. government is increasingly taking stakes in publicly traded companies, including Intel and Canadian-based miners Trilogy Metals and Lithium Americas, giving rise to concerns over the potential for conflict of interest issues to surface.

U.S. government to take 10% stake in Canadian mining company Trilogy Metals
Vancouver-based Trilogy Metals Inc. says the U.S. government will take a 10-per-cent stake in the mineral exploration company, which has mining interests in Alaska that Washington wants to see developed.

Not to mention the Mactung Mine, Anglo-American & Tech Resources, etc
...
Or on the other hand, the number of companies that have packed up shop & gone south of the border.
(For a guy who was gonna really take it to Trump, that's a lot of money, investnent capital, talent, and jobs heading to the US.)
...
Did Trump help Carney get elected?? To me, it seems so...
Was it intentional? I can't really say.
It's quite possible tho...
If he had just kept his trap shut, I have a feeling the election may have gone differently and had a different result...but who knows

Please don’t forget that Carney ran Bloomberg in NYC, thus he ultimately worked for Michael Bloomberg and therefore swam in the same pool as Trump, his family and associates.The relationship between Carney and Trump is an interesting one, especially when we look at what we can from prior to the election.

This matters, Carney is a ‘quasi’ insider to the NYC circuit.

If he doesn't deliver do you think his supporters will tell us he's just getting started and needs more time?
Some of his 2025 promises seem to have fallen flat.

Depends on what you mean by "supporters". LPC sycophants? Absolutely. Those on this site who are pro-Carney, or at least pro-what he seems to be offering? Absolutely not.

Perhaps, but some of the silent changes will affect a lot of people. Take tha cap on NSF fees for banks. That will likely help a lot of people

If NSF fees being capped help a lot of people to be electorally relevant, the fact that we have an electorally relevant number of folks with negative or 0 bank account balances is also extremely relevant for the electorate, but not for sunshine and cheerleading Carney reason.

I would like to see them cap interest at prime plus 5% tops. If we really wanted to help people that is the type of move to make, it would end the exploitative payday companies and reduces the damage credit can do.

Interest is the price of risk. Set a cap below what the risk requires, and the service goes away.
There are people who think payday loan companies ought not to exist because they are "exploitative" (a common framing), but they're almost always people comfortably outside the set of those who need the service.
When looking at the entire universe of fiscal matters, all the costs of social ills - shoplifting, property destruction, arson, injury, etc - not directly covered by governments are included in everything else - insurance premiums, retail prices, interest rates, reduced profits, unproductive uses of resources (replacing broken stuff), etc.
Canada and the provinces don't save the country money by shorting police and court and detention and medical spending; they just transfer the costs outside their own books (and usually in greater amounts, since problems are best and least expensively solved early).

You want more government in every aspect of life? Socialism has been tried and failed. Every time.
