Lost export markets. Lost foreign tourists.

Also, your export markets have disappeared forever. Particularly for products. Services will probably survive because there are fewer alternatives.

America is lost. Money in politics. Guns. Greed. Fox News and other right wing “news”. Male voters. Gap between rich and poor. Literacy levels. Dysfunctional health care. It’s over. It would take decades to fix and it isn’t going to happen. I don’t blame anyone for leaving.

You can add Canada, Mexico and Australia to that list. Waiting to see cancellation of F35 contracts. Also, when these countries find new trading partners, they aren’t coming back anytime soon. It will take decades to restore trust.

In Trump’s first term there were guard rails and competent leaders to deter him. Now there are toadies and no guard rails. Yesterday, he indicated he was prepared to initiate a recession, so the markets may not even be a deterrent. I hope you are right, but that feels like wistful thinking now.

Who is going to stop Trump from launching an attack on Canada? Not the toadies that he has installed. I am glad you think he is not crazy enough to attack an ally. Unfortunately, Canadians don’t agree. There are no guardrails now, and as commander in chief he can do what he wants.

We would love to have you if you leave your guns behind, drop the religious fanaticism and agree to pay much higher taxes in exchange for universal healthcare and a better education system.

Musk’s house of cards starting to crumble. Coming next - countries will start canceling their F35 contracts. No one trusts the US anymore.
