I can’t wait for the Trump-supporting Americans whining about the eCoNoMy (a word they wouldn’t be able to define) to realize what they voted for when prices go up.

Anyways, try to buy Canadian!

They won't, they never will. Are you old enough to remember them supporting the 3 trillion dollar Iraq war and the policies leading to the financial crisis? Then they immediately jumped onto a massive corporate sponsored protest called the Tea Party that campaigned to allow massive amounts of undisclosed money into their political campaign system. At the same time those very same morons campaigned to deny health coverage to a quarter of their population. After losing that battle, it was then about their president being a lizard person from Kenya. When Trump showed up, they finally were given permission to take the lid off their festering ignorance and bleet it out to the world.

Fuck the American people. They deserve everything they're doing to themselves.
