    No sane person should want anything to do with the US and their products right now. They’re a rogue nation, teetering on the brink of fascism and a threat to us all.

    I mean why would anyone buy American whiskey when scotch exists?

      Price, generally.

      The real question is why anyone would buy American whiskey when Canadian whiskey exists

    I’ve never been “pro-American” by any means. In my mind, what Trump is doing; (treating the rest of the world like client states, demanding everyone bend the knee) is just an escalation of what any other administration has ever done. But he does it loudly, bluntly, and with no thought to class or subtlety. Previous administrations made use of soft power and coercion while Trump’s blunt stupidity just lays it all on the table, not bothering to hide it.
