    “I feel terrible for the American people because it’s not the American people, and it’s not even elected officials, it’s one person,”

    Americans elected Trump, and Americans are failing to do anything to reign Trump in.
    These are the official policies for the COUNTRY! So unfortunately, this is not just one person, it is de facto USA as a whole.

    If it was only Trump, it would just be Trump refusing to buy Canadian for himself. As it is, the whole apparatus is enforcing these decisions, and they impact all of USA.

      This. I can’t stand how they blame the system for a choice they chose to make, be it voting for the orange turd, or sitting it out to protest a war halfway across the world, knowing fully well that he’d use that complacency ro return to office. Now the rest of us are dragged into the muck.

        Absolutely, Trump was elected in a democratic election.
        USA is a (flawed) democracy supposedly with checks and balances.
        It’s not like some military general overthrew the democracy out of nowhere.

        Obviously there are good Americans that oppose this, and tried to prevent it, but they are unfortunately a minority, and as a whole USA as a country is doing this, and letting it happen.
