Repairing the damage this human gumboil has done to America's reputation within two months will take years, perhaps decades. I wonder if the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors, plus the seven Canadian NHL teams, will boycott their seasons until Trumpf is gone? AI calculations estimate a $1bn loss for US revenue if the Blue Jays and Raptors opted out of the season. The NHL season is already underway.

Trump betrays everyone.

Trump is betraying VISITOR and FISHPAW. Also that fellow that goes on and on about "Lumpers".

They've been gelded, so they put up with it.

I had a half-brother from an older generation who traveled from the US to Canada so he could enlist in an army that was actually fighting fascism while the US was playing isolationism nonsense. He and other Americans enlisted in that army, saw mountains of commando action, most definitely suffered from PTSD (getting buried for a few days under a bombed building could do that), and who would undoubtedly be royally and justifiably both hugely angry and wildly disappointed at Old Senescent's behavior toward longtime allies.

These fake soldiers--suckers and losers all--should be thankful they still have a Canadian Veterans Services apparatus from which they can draw benefits. Their American counterparts are on their own...

As they should.

It's not the first time either. Historically speaking, there were sore feelings between Canada and the US over the US dragging its feet to engage in WW2 against Hitler.

80 years of the bluff machine is wearing off.
