Why does Pres Trump seem to be so focused upon punishing our long-term allies, and aligning with other autocrats like Pres Xi, Pres Putin and Leader Kim?

Why?

OK, please allow me to ask once again ...

Why does Pres Trump seem to be so focused upon punishing our long-term allies, and aligning with other autocrats like Pres Xi, Pres Putin and Leader Kim?

I mean, the border between the US and Canada is the longest non-militarized border in the world. imo, that is significant.

The US and Canada have always had friendly relations.

But now, Pres Trump seems to want to push Canada away.

What's the long-tern fate of NORAD in Pres Trump's strategy with Canada?

Oh wait, Pres Trump doesn't deal in strategies. Only whimsical, ~how do I benefit now~ thoughts.

Nothing collapsed.

Something collapsing would require it to be a legit process enacted in good faith by both parties.

I guarantee the Trump s*&^heaps were not acting in good faith.

Soooo..., instead of using HOMES to designate the Great Lakes, if Pres Trump gets his way, we will be using SHAME to designate the Great Lakes?

Is the noxious orange pedo going to change the name of Lake Michigan to Lake Epstein?

Sorry Canada.

Resistance is futile.

Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.
