Can we just start encouraging people to attack Trump instead? How is it that people like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, JFK, and others can get gun-downed by random psychos, but one of the worst humans to ever exist is still skating by scot-free? Will no one rid us of this turbulent Trump? (obviously I'm being satirical here)
If that dick sucker gets back in we are closing our borders so fucking fast. Also Canada is part of the British commonwealth so we know what side the UK will be on if this idiot tries anything.
Unfortunately closing our borders doesn't mean anything when we share the longest undefended border in the world.
There are a literal shit ton of places to just walk across (or 4x4) without anyone knowing ... and that sucks in this context. :/
.. and even just economically, AFAIK we have treaties we would have difficulty getting out of; such as to provide them with water. We ship a lot of our raw resources (beef, lumber) down to them only to buy back finished goods, stuff like that. Canada will be in a real jam if we feel a need to distance ourselves properly from the USA.
AFAIK we have treaties we would have difficulty getting out of;
Trump had no problem breaking treaties on a whim the last time.
I don't imagine he wouldn't continue doing that if the idea randomly popped into his head (or was placed there).
Indeed, and we might need to be ready to play some hardball 'tit for tat' if it comes to it. However we've always been 'the mouse' to their 'elephant' so that might not be feasible.
I feel like at this point he's trying to antagonize europe into launching a counterpropoganda campaign against Russia's troll farming
At this point I wish they would, frankly. Especially since the US is clearly going to do nothing to hold Trump, Putin and all of their stooges accountable for anything.
