Every time Trump and the Republican Party does silly shit like this, I assume Jill Stein and her supporters embrace the fresh opportunity to smugly remind themselves that a Kamala Harris presidency wouldn’t have been any different.

I know if I look to buy something on line, I'll check if the business is US based. If so, I don't buy, I'll look for something else, preferably Canadian but not US.

Americans visiting Canada is just fine unless you are wearing a red hat.

The Trump admin is openly financing and interfering with our stupid Albertan separation referendum because they want our bitumin and minerals and our quisling premier wants to be a governor.

See map services should grow a pair and say sue me.
But nooooo, they are scared of what the orange one will do to their leaders.

America is a fascist or communist state where a single leader dictates
everything.
I keep saying this I know, because I’ve yet to see evidence that it is not.
Your companies now bow down to a leader.
That’s not capitalism.

Trump isn’t a fascist. Trump is Trump, a unique entity in our nation’s political history.

There’s never been anyone like him—not in the worst of the worst—and if America survives, hopefully there will not be again.

What about the people around him? There is a lot of
activity that does not match with a capitalist society.
This clearly comes from their world view, which granted
seems to be one where 'give them everything, either
voluntarily or due to force' is acceptable, but it needs a
name.
War monger? Is that a valid system of government?

Trump thinks he is King and the Robert's Supreme Court agrees with him so the only path out of this is the Dems winning a massive majority and passing veto proof well written laws that the president is not a king. Then repealing everything Trump has done, and impeaching him, then trying him in criminal court.

None of that will likely happen (because Centrist Dems are craven and weak) so this will not be the last American King, just the first.

a friend of mine took a vacation to Montreal and Quebec city a few years ago, and she got in the taxi from the airport, only to be confronted by a very pro-Trump Canadian, who gushed about him the entire time. It was a bad start to her vacation!

I fear he becomes the template for a whole new way of approaching politics, and we see more clones of him.
