Apparently the "American Mind" can't comprehend some pretty basic things about military readiness and who can and can't fight battles or fill vital roles.

Like everything else, it's just completely made up nonsense. Americans have been buying Canadian-made cars for decades and loving them. GM's Canadian facilities and history date back to an era *before GM was a Corporate entity.*

Q: Canadians are refusing to go the US. The numbers are down like 23% this year. What do you say to Canadians?

TRUMP: I understand that. And Americans don't want to buy cars that are made in Canada.

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”
