trump b gone soon but so will Canadian goodwill towards our old southern friend.
Not just Canadian good will. Trump et. al. trashed our (America's) reputation and credibility worldwide during his first administration. Under President Biden, we spent 4 years rebuilding relationships and trust with our allies, at least to the extent they could be rebuilt after the shitshow that was 2016-2020. Now he's trashed it again, worse than before, and this time I fear the damage is permanent. Even if we manage to elect a sane president in 2028, the world is finding out that they can't depend on us not to elect someone who will undo everything on a whim. Eventually they're going to get tired of us going off our meds every few years and make a clean break.
After watching what’s gone on since 2010 has changed my view of them forever
Several things have been demonstrated to me, selfishness, laziness, lack of compassion, an expectation of understanding they don’t give others…a few things
I used to have a fairly high respect for them and wanted to travel there. All gone now and it’s not likely to return because I’ve seen the hand now.
I want Australia to scrap our treaties with them but our leaders are too spineless.
You are right to worry. One Trump administration could be overlooked as a mistake on American corporations behalf (lets admit that American voters really don't count). But a second one, that is inexcusable. The US has had a very lopsided deal in its favour with all Western countries since the end of WW2. The Americans have effectively killed that. That agreement doesn't suddenly come back with a new adminstration. Especially since every other country knows it can be facing a different Trump in 4 years.
