    Anybody who feels that Trump’d be held-back by social-pressure, or propriety, instead of directly confiscating the things to prevent Canada from having them…

    lmao

    Trump’s learning how to be the ONLY limit/law in the world, & all the social-pressure-will-work foolishness is only slowing his progress, NOT stopping him.

    He can, I’m not saying he actually will, but there is nothing that can stop him from confiscating entire-ships of cars heading to Canada.

    Nothing.

    No rule-of-law can “force” him into stopping that, now.

    Cuba’s already an example of his confiscating other-country’s rightful viability…

    Venezuela was an example of him declaring himself to be president of their country…

    either dig-in against him, XOR get popcorn & sit back: the show’s still progressing.

      If Trump seized a ship with Chinese cargo delivering to Canada, he would open the US up to pretty much every other country acting against US ships and US cargoes.

      Hopefully there is still someone in his circle of influence who grasps the impact of a move that incredibly stupid.

        They’ve probably already been fired
