THE DEMENTED SOB IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS ALWAYS INTENDED ... TO INFLICT AS MUCH ECONOMIC HARDSHIP UPON CANADA AS POSSIBLE! I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS DISGUSTING SOB!
This man is crazy. Americans already have no public health care, and now I'll be left without the ability to buy medicine.
Tariffs will ruin this country because Trump does not know how to utilize it.
Putting tax on medicine is evil.
Tariffs are nothing more than inflation! Pure and simple facts.
