#Trump's incoherence is well illustrated by the following - Trump is asked a question " “If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable, and if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?” Trump's answer - "But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that—because, look, child care is child care. It’s, couldn’t—you know, there’s something … You have to have it. In this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country." This is the leader of the free world, GOD HELP US. #rejoinEU #StandwithUkraine #ClimateCrisis
@pennine I went shopping this morning and there were two kinds of oranges. One from the US and one from Egypt. The US ones will probably be sweeter. So I bought the Egyptian, they were slightly tart but didn't leave a foul American taste in my mouth.🇨🇦
@Oldfartrant @pennine I think that the Americans have completely underestimated most Canadians' visceral reaction in various ways, from groceries to vacations. Most of us are so done.
@Oldfartrant @pennine Also, Trump has said already that stuff like childcare, medicare, medicaid should all be responsibilities of the states, while the federal government should only be concerned with war. Completely insane.
@VE7WYC @pennine Medicare etc should be federally supported to allow for movement between states. It can be administered by states but funded federally. That way federal legislation can define standards for states to follow.
@Oldfartrant @pennine I am still looking. I got some from Marocco last year and boy they were amazing. Even without that whole #AnythingButAmerican I wouldn’t be buying US oranges again.
