How about sacking government employees who protect Americans from weather disaster? Good idea: better to “own the libs” than spend money on the poor folks who can only afford to buy or rent in flood or hurricane areas. That said, it isn’t just Trump.

Trump threatens Canada so tech companies don’t pay tax
Trump has said that he would stop negotiating all trade deals with Canada if it imposed its 3% tax on US, Canadian and other tech companies. This is like sales tax! Once again the US bullies its so-called allies. If possible, don’t use US tech if they aren’t going to pay local taxes. Do you …
