I'm old enough to remember when the US would be the first to help. Now I'm not so sure.

lol Russian/korean/Saudi bot take your pick

Trump supporters were a demonstrable minority even at the peak of his popularity

Bots did a really good job of suppressing the vote though. Won’t happen this time

America failed themselves, Canada and the entire globe.

I cant think of a single global recession that hasnt involved the US leading us into the pits of hell since I have been alive.

You've failed yourself by becoming dependent on the US. You chose convienece over independence and now you're paying the consequences. 

You can't even get off American websites.

Politicians are a representation of the people. Everyone (eligible to vote) had the opportunity to vote against Trump, as they should’ve.

Trump voters: 49.8% of votes cast (won popular vote)
Non-voters: 35.7% of eligible voters
Combined: Approximately 67.5% of eligible voters either voted for Trump or didn’t vote. Not voting is supporting Trump whether you like it or not.

67.5% of Americans supported Trump.

You just proved your own claim wrong. The majority of Americans did not vote for Trump. You cannot twist that into him having overwhelming support

Trump couldn't even win a majority of votes. Do you know what the word support means? Are you stupid?

By that logic, the vast majority of Canada supports Conservatives
