    You guys as a nation have broken the World’s trust. You were in a privileged position of trust after WW2 that you will never return to, whether trump leaves office or not.

    The World’s boycott on the states doesn’t end with trump, he’s merely a symptom.

    I know nobody in my circle of knowing in Canada is EVER travelling to, or spending money in/on the states ever again.

      Yes and please.

      That position of privilege was something the US should have been removed from decades ago. It has nothing to do with the Trump. It has nothing to do with whether the US was responsible with the power they exert on the global landscape. No one country should be allowed or even try to lord over other countries.

      And if a long-standing boycott of the US is what it takes to humble them… do it. Keep doing it. It is better for those boycotting, it is better for the world and it is better for the US too.
