UK person here, and I totally agree with the Canadian above.
America could've learned its lessons about tRUMP well before he was voted in in 2016, all they had to do was open their eyes, not be fucking idiots, and do a tiny bit of research about his bullshit (criminal, and otherwise) that he's been pulling for literally, not figuratively, literally decades and decades. No, that was asking too much of them apparently. So instead they voted him in.
Then they could've learned their lesson during his first term and locked him up for all his criminal and traitorous bullshit that he pulled. No, instead they dragged their feet over that shit AND THEN voted him in for a second term.
The USA, just like Germany had to do with shitler, needs to learn the hard way. And for decades to come. The American people obviously don't learn when others are showing them nicely just how blatantly stupid they are being.
And the only way for them to learn is by ostracising and boycotting their products and country for decades to come.
