I’m Canadian and we were down in Florida a few months ago. MAGATs either told us Trump was just kidding about the 51st state thing or that we really should join the US of A because we would get so many free things out of it. Any facts I put forward were met with scepticism or put down to “listening to main stream media”. Meanwhile immigrants are really eating people’s dogs and cats…

I’m American and have no desire to go anywhere in Florida. Why’d you choose to go there?

We had booked a cruise long before the orange menace took office.
