The damage Trump has done to America is deep. [View all]

157 Canadians died in Afghanistan fighting along side the Americans. Many more were physically and mentally damaged. We did not send America a bill, it's what you do for your allies. You honor the treaty you signed.

I don't believe this trust is over (I just saw the below making the rounds on facebook) it is damaged, but not irreparable. There are good and honorable Americans. I know this. I met a whole bunch of them on Democratic Underground.
