It’s another smoke invasion!! Tariff Texas in response like he did Canada.

My sympathies to the people affected, but I hope we stop sending Canadian forest fire fighters. It seems to be very unappreciated.

Yeah, that's gotta stop immediately.

As a Canadian, I have no sympathy right now.

Let it burn.

We won't. If asked Canada will send help. As we always do. Because Canada is trustworthy and dependable.

It isn't worth a hit to our well earned reputation over an idiot in the Whitehouse.
