Why Trump is going after our best friend, Canada

Trump is a petty little man and I think he going after trade and other things against Canada not for economic reason but personal reasons.

I think he is jealous.

He can't stand it that Trudeau is so young and good looking and educated. He can't stand it that he is so popular especially popular in the US. He can't stand it that Canadians are admired for being such ...what's a word?... such cool people.

He would love to hurt Canada, Canadians and their Prime Minister

This may not be completely true, but it sure wouldn't surprise me.

The Canadian PM is not only smart and PR savvy, but has looks and social grace that Trump never had, and can never acquire. He looks into the mirror every morning and asks, "who's da fairest of dem all?" and the mirror answers back, "it's Justin Trudeau, honey. You ain't even in the top fifty runners up."

Instead of trying to be Abou Ben Adhem, Trump instead smashes the mirror.

the entire US Great Lakes Basin. Then I can become Canadian without having to move any further north.

Sounds like a plan!

They have to take Maine too. Most people here have Canadian heritage and French last names already. We're right next door and we've got the tough winters too. I think some states would have been better suited to be a part of Canada. Maine is one of them. We have a lot more in common with Canada then say the South, for example. I also think Trump wouldn't miss Maine, except for the fact that he seems to be in love with Gov. Paul LePage.
