I was on the fence about the booing. But at some point a citizenry is responsible for the choices it has made.
Trump didn't become President by accident. When Americans can't afford everyday essentials and discover everyone hates them, maybe there will be some change.

The lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick federal health officials for the incoming Trump administration has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which for decades has protected millions of people from a virus that can cause paralysis or death.

Whenever reform of Canada Post comes up, the answers proposed never seem to be about opening the monopoly to competition, as other countries have done, and always involve further cuts in service

Trump rejects partnership. He believes only, "I command; you obey." That won't work on anything difficult. Syria will be difficult - and could go very bad. Once again: "America First" = "America Alone" = "American Failure."
END.

It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.

Trump thinks tariffs are a cover charge for a hot bar, when they’re really a price increase for everything on the menu.
Trump posts on Truth Social: “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.”
