Buy "anything but American" is my motto these days.

The natural reflex to Trump’s aggression will be to mirror him with a “Canada First” or “Every Country For Itself” approach
Ultimately, we will all be stronger if democratic forces around the world unite and build new alliances to push back against Trump’s unchecked power
