“As democracy is perfected, the office [of president] represents,

"Today, the US launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

Canada has already spoken and their answer is for Trump to go fuck himself.
