Canadians avoiding travel to the United States and banning American alcohol are among the reasons U.S. President Donald Trump thinks the country is “nasty” to deal with, the U.S. ambassador to Canada said Monday.

    For over 100 years we were the best of allies

    It took weeks for him to throw all of that away.

    You don’t declare “economic warfare” on your friends. You don’t threaten to annex them, tell them they’re not a viable country, tell them they’re destined to fall, and still expect friendship.

    And it’s not just Trump to blame. The voters and the entire US government have allowed that behaviour and enabled him.

    If they’re getting upset about our boycotts that just means boycott even harder. They said they don’t need us, now they can see what that’s like.

      Every single person who let crickets be the only response is just as culpable as Drumpfkins. That’s the vast majority of the country. Fuck em. They can have their fascism. Should they come for us many will be waiting.

    Americans, it’s your country. If you want a fascist dictatorship, that’s your business. You want to deport innocent people, that’s your business. You want trade tarrifs, that’s your business. You want Canada to be the 51st state, that’s my business. I’ll show you just how nasty we can be.

      As an American, very well said. Please don’t stop. We are going to hell in a handbasket, please dont join us. The grave our foreparents dug and one current generations keep on digging, it is entirely fair to spit on us in our grave and not be drug in.

    If you pay attention, “Nasty” is very consistently his go to word for anyone who opposes or stands up to him.

      Especially doing the exact same thing he did.

      You think he is self aware enough to understand he is calling himself nasty?

      because we all know that folks that use the term nasty are always the least nasty of folks. Its a true sign of class or should I say the much classier, classy.

    Nasty? Glad to see that you’ve noticed. We tend to be nasty when people mock and threaten our sovereignty and then actively try to destroy our economy. Try to escalate and see how much nastier it will get you cowardly child rapist.

    So the racist, aggressively homophobic, hate-based fascist who illegally funded foreign political candidates is upset?

    Seriously, look up Pete Hoekstra if you want to get angry. The man is a piece of shit in the highest degree.
