   Trudeau was no threat to your country. Your leader is a threat to Canada. How   
   is that a similar scenario to Trudeau in any way.   
   And yeah, we know that trump is an elected leader in your country. I don't   
   understand his support but as long as he doesn't threaten other countries, I   
   have sympathy for the american people who don't support him, but it's, after   
   all, your business, your country, your elections. I find it difficult to   
   understand why Trudeau affected you in any way. He didn't do or threaten to   
   hurt you in any way. He was our problem.
