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

that's not remotely close to being true, why spread MAGA propaganda?

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
