Your animosity is understandable. However, the negative consequences of the hostile act you propose would far outweigh any transient satisfaction you'd get from doing it. We must use kid gloves, not clubs, as we deal with kid Trump and his uninformed boyish blunderings. Chrystia Freeland is to be commended for doing so as she attempts to salvage NAFTA and save Trump from his own worst impulses.

As we watch in disbelief while Trump incompetently "tweaks" the Free Trade Agreement, it becomes clear that he has little understanding of what words (and promises) mean, and even less understanding of the fundamentals of reciprocal trade. He wants to have his cake and eat it. If he can't reconstruct NAFTA to his own advantage, he'll just pout and walk away from it, not realizing (or not caring) that he has shot himself in the foot to please his small power base. "Buy American" only, and it's bye-bye America. If that happens, then you'll get lasting satisfaction -- and problems of your own.
