Let all Canadian Companies that are doing business with America move to the United States, immediately. Many of them are Companies that moved out years ago due to stupid U.S. Leadership. When you move back, there are no TARIFFS! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump assuming that the world revolves around the U.S. (and by extension him) is symbolic of the dangerously nationalistic mentality that fuels his far-right base.

Because it does. Where does most of the world get their tech from? And American companies are every where and everyone wants access to their markets. Americans consume a ton and that is why people want them. Why do you think no one has stood up to them and they keep giving in. Say what you want it sure seems like the world does revocle around them.

His assumption is that everyone has to do business with the US. It ignores that we can do business with each other, and there are many more of us than there are Americans. It is what Xinnie the Pooh et al. realized ~25 years ago.

E.G. If Canada makes its own cars, that is a 15.5 billion dollar market the US loses.

Because if we don't our quality of life drips. America is the biggest market in the world, by a lot. Their is no one to replace them with. Same reason Nvidia wants access to China, second largest market. You cannot replace them.
