Alert – Canadian rage room throws violent jibe at Donald Trump with customers calling it ‘iconic’

A Canadian rage room has provided customers with a unique way of blowing off steam amid the intense political climate between the country and the US. 

The Rage Room Halifax has offered customers a chance to literally take violent blows at President Donald Trump as part of the company’s ‘Smash The Tariffs Special Event.’ 

As part of the promotion, the business – geared toward individuals who want to get out their anger by destroying objects – is allowing customers to smash a free portrait of Trump with every booking, according to the website. 

The homepage on the site displays a black and neon portrait of the commander-in-chief, and promises patrons ‘a smashing good time.’ 

‘Until the tariffs come off, we understand you might have a little extra rage that you want to let out! So, we’re proud to announce our Smash the Tariffs event!,’ it read, referring to the ongoing trade war between Canada and the US. 

If smashing an image of the president wasn’t enough, customers can also purchase framed images of Vice President JD Vance and First Buddy Elon Musk for an extra $5. Those purchases will be donated to local food banks. 

Terry LeBlanc, the owner of Rage Room Halifax, said he got the idea to start the promotion after hearing how anxious and frustrated fellow Canadians are about Trump’s dramatic tariff changes and his threats to make Canada the 51st state of the US. 

LeBlanc told the National Post the response to the offer has ‘been a bit overwhelming,’ but overall it’s proved to be a success. ‘It really shows that Canadians don’t want to be the 51st state,’ he added.

The business isn’t the only one benefiting from the new campaign, as delighted customers are thrilled they can take their anger out on the 47th president. 

Matthew Burke, a 14-year-old who visited the rage room, took a swing at Trump with a baseball bat, telling the outlet: ‘It’s about how he’s [Trump’s] treating this country.’ 

Meanwhile, 17-year-old Lillian used a golf club to destroy an image of Trump with 13 blows. 

‘I came here to safely get some frustration and anger out. He [Trump] is not a very smart man and he is currently doing some not very smart things,’ she said. 

LeBlanc’s business, which he’s been operating for nearly seven years now, offers an array of packages for guests to choose from. 

The cheapest one – ‘Smash It 101’ – cost $49, followed by ‘The Cubicle’ for $89, and then ‘Parental Leave’ for $129. 

‘Smash It 101’ is described as the ‘starter package,’ allowing customers to utilize weapons and gear to smash 20 items in the room, including plates, mugs, glassware, and more. 

Customers also have the option to add a ‘rage booster’ to their experience for an additional 15 ‘smashables’ for an extra $19.

For another $40, people can take on ‘The Cubicle’ package and really let out the anger they build up from work. 

In the room, customers can smash printers, laptops, monitors, as well as 20 items from the company’s weekly choice of household items, including clay, glass, trinkets, and more. 

The most expensive package, ‘Parental Leave,’ allows people to smash not just electronics, but other household appliances like blenders, coffee makers and tea pots. 

Customers can also smash an additional 30 items, the website detailed. 

‘Most people who walk out of here have a big smile on their face,’ LeBlanc explained. 

‘We always like to ask what was their favorite thing to do. Lately, smashing Donald Trump has been number 1.’ 

Although the special promotes a political issue, LeBlanc made it clear that the room is just meant for people to have fun and destress. 

‘We’re entertainment first. We’re not therapists. We’re not doctors. People come here to have some fun and blow off some steam …. Everybody wins,’ he said.

After promoting the special on the company’s social media pages, users quickly flocked to the comment section to share their opinion on it. 

‘Love this so much!!,’ one said, as another called it ‘Iconic.’ 

‘Living for this,’ another wrote. ‘What a GREAT Idea !!!!!!,’ a user said. 

While many seemed thrilled with the promotion, others warned of the possible repercussions it could bring.

‘Just a friendly reminder to keep in mind U.S. Code § 871 (Threats Against the President) and Canada’s Criminal Code § 264.1 (Uttering Threats) when marketing political-themed content,’ someone said. 

‘Public safety laws can apply even across borders. Stay mindful!’ 

Another said that the special ‘could be misconstrued as a death threat on those individuals that are depicted in the images.’
