      Canada here. In our house we’re still not buying anything American because their president threatened to invade and annex our country, and the government have yet to walk it back or even apologize. And even if the president of America did back off and say sorry, he’s a rapist and a pedophile so he can still go fuck himself.

      I don’t think the powers-that-be in the US realize quite how much damage they’ve done to international relations lately. This isn’t the sort of thing they can just say sorry for and expect to go back to normal once Trump is dead and everyone is pretending they didn’t enable him for the last decade.

        The issue is legitimately that they’re all a bunch of massively racist fucks and were told for over a decade how the world saw us as a laughing stock (because we had a black man as president), despite being ridiculously popular on the world stage, and so they think just by having a rich white asshole suddenly we’re respected again, even though he’s truly the biggest laughing stock ever.
