      Trump did call our Prime Minister by his actual title.  Prime Minister and not governor. He did say it was a good call.  (But werent all calls from the US to Canada since all this tariff nonsense began were good calls?) PM Carney also said it was a good call. Trump did lie that other countries have apologized to him...  As if all other countries have taken advantage of the US.  Like he keeps on crying on about puffing his chest.  (Elbows up Canada!!! Right to his unprotected head)  Trump playing the victimhood card is a bad look in my opnion.  Makes the US look really really weak.   Like the US never had a backbone. And with Trump in charge a spineless backbone even worse...     Al, that though still doesnt change the fact the Canadians will NOT be buying anything American for a very looooooong time.   Damage is done.   Elbows up!

      I wont be pushing agendas... I will enforce on myself subject matter to ensure you continue to love the forums here.   You know, car pictures, airplane pics.  Commentary on how I HATE BMWs, Toyotas and SUVs.  Ill add Teslas to that list.  Ill praise Chinese BYDs and Corvettes.  442s and Trans Ams.  But if I hear Trumpster say a lie, I will correct it on the Random Thoughts thread as a rant.   Nothing toxic.  I will be busy daily doing that of course...

      I agree. Not pointing fingers at you.  I TRULY understand that half your country is vile, disgusting, racist and very very uneducated and even more gullible.  But...if you leave, again, not pointing the finger at you, I understand your wish to leave your country, but if everybody leaves, then nobody worth a damn will be able to defend her (the USA) from the vile pigs that are ruining a very awesone country. And I know the US' history quite well. I understand COMPLETELY understand the innuendo about the US.  The US is both a racist, sexist cesspool, but it also is THE BEST place in the world.   There is a reason why France gave the Statue of Liberty to the US as a gift. There is also a reason why France just asked for her back. But the US is worth fighting for...
