    Hey Canadians and Mexicans, you do know he just said Canada are Mexico are US TERRITORY, right?

    Don't give them an inch, tell the Americans to f--- off. In fact, Mexico an Canada should sign a free trade deal with China hahaha, and then all three hit the US. Without Chinese products, Canadian energy, and mexican parts, they US is brought to is knees.

    And while most people with brain cells understand just how simple Trump is, and regardless of whether the GOP controls all three branches, most traditional republicans are not lock step with trump and he will need congressional approval. It does not work like the country you pretend to live in tobi.

    Regardless of what happens, the USA remains the worlds largest consumer market, more than 4 times larger than the #2. While you wish to think that countries will cut off their noses to spite their faces, they still make their money selling here Tobi.

    PS
    This in NO WAY should EVER be construed as support for Trump.

    Nostrils,

    Why would U.K., Australia, Canada, Mexico, etc. wish to fuck over the USA?

    Most of us have personal friends there. We share a language. They are our neighbours.

    We have a lot more in common with them than we do with China, who happen to have their own “China First” policy.

    You are too stupid and too jealous, to see that.

    And, on top of all of what was just stated tobi, Trump will come and go, and countries will go on. Democratic institutions are stronger and more durable than one person. Populism is a fad and will die soon after the band wagon Trumpeters realize that as he drained the swamp, he filled a cesspool.

    @3

    Uhmmm... cause they wish and have tried to F'--- you??

    I guess if you are raped you are one of those who will then thank the rapist.

    I hope Argentina keeps being far away from them. We haven't needed them one bit and one can find anything they produced made somewhere else. No country is indispensable these days. But many countries behave in a way that encourages the US to feel like that, with the predictable results.

    You criticize “America First”, yet you have no issue with the “Argentina First and Fuck the Rest” attitude of CFK and most Argentines.

    What a hypocrite you are.

    So because I am a hypocrite you aren't?

    You insulted in very degrading words Argentines and CFK for years because of that policy. But now you applaud Trump and the North Americans.

    And you have the cheek to call me hypocrite.

    @FC
    Kanye hasn't lauded Trump at all. None of the posters in this thread above have done anything but criticise Trump.

    You say you're not a Kirchnerista, and no one here supports Trump, so why argue about it?

    Just because some people are hypocrites doesn't mean all are.

    Fidel Nostrils,

    Argentines and people like you and Enrique DEGRADE THEMSELVES by supporting the corrupt populist criminal regime of Evita Kirchner and her policies.

    Patriots you are not.

    I do not embrace Trump, but nor do I share your “let's everybody f*ck over the USA, and hug our big brother China” message of spite.

    Fine, but I do. Just like you and everyone else wanted to f--- Argentina under CFK.

    That's bullshit, Nostrils.

    Most posters hated CFK and her government for her aggressive political and economic harassment of the Falklands, not hating Argentina per se.

    Unlike you, there are those of us who would not mind seeing Macri succeed and Argentina crawl out of the dark shadow of Kirchnerist, and start behaving as something other than a belligerent rogue state.

    Of course, the Falklanders may be more comfortable if Argentina were to remain a failed basket case, unable to develop any military capability with which to threaten the Islands.

    Feel free to express your anger towards the USA.

    None of us share your feelings.

    It's all about your inferiorities and self-loathing.
