My Trade Secrets today.
It's a longstanding American grievance that predates Trump: US companies can't sell cars in Europe & elsewhere because of evil trade barriers. It's actually because US protectionism has encouraged its carmakers to make clunky great gas-guzzlers no one else wants to buy.

As a Canadian, I heard about how America's 'checks and balances' protect them from tyranny since I was a child.
We learned from US TV that Americans would fight tooth and nail to preserve their democracy and their constitution.
So it's weird to watch them just roll over to a pair of con-men.
