this makes them seem abysmally stupid to many, but it’s actually deeply cynical & effective propaganda—they don’t care it's wrong, because while we correct & mock it, it scored its point last night & gets repeated in false controversy like they’re-eating-the-cats&dogs & achieves the intended harm

It's economically destructive and geopolitical insanity and bad for the United States in every possible way, but more than that, torching our relationships with our closest friends and literal neighbors in Canada and Mexico is a profoundly immoral thing to do, and should be denounced as such.
