Maureen, it's a terrible embarrassment for those of us who appreciate having a peaceful and wonderful neighbor. Eventually, as more money flows up to the richest people, I'd hope his groupies would wake up....but they might not and the manipulation of information in media astounds many of us.

Maureen, I laughed reading your poem (but will cry later). You can even add tacos and wontons to the game. All these imposed tarrifs from Trump will result in countermeasures from our neighbors, which the US consumer will absorb.

I’m flipping between laughing and crying. We Canadians will be absorbing a lot of it too; add the repeated threat of annexation, this game is absolutely no fun at all. Thank you Connie, xomo

“he” wants us to bend over and become the 51st state, that is his plan.

I read Canada are fighting back with their own tarriffs - what a shambles trumpety has caused!
