Hmmm....while you're not wrong and normally I'd agree with you, I am inclined to always try and remember that unlike most Governments and Political Leaders, Drumpf does hold grudges. I mean, its the whole reason Biden pardoned everyone he could think of.

Normal Governments and Leaders wouldnt do that, and, if someone like Trudeau had pissed them off for whatever reason (I'm not familiar with any in these circumstances) a normal leader would shrug that off, move along and do whats best for his Country and to maintain good Economic and Diplomatic relationships.

But...Drumpf is a bit erratic and unpredictable? And, unfortunately, on his last term...so he doesnt really have anything to lose.

So while I agree with you and disagree with your friend in principle....there is the chance that anything could happen.

That guy is a lunatic.
