    The nearby Ambassador Bridge, one of the busiest border crossings on the continent, has been privately owned for decades by a Detroit trucking industry billionaire and his family, the Morouns. The family had previously called on Mr. Trump to halt the construction of the Gordie Howe bridge — which would, once opened, compete for the more than $300 million in daily cross-border trade over the Ambassador Bridge.

    And there it is, a bunch of rich morons (sorry, Morouns) don’t actually want free market competition.

    It is maybe now the time to replace the sentence “go f**k yourself” with “do the trump” or some idiom like that.
    He has really pushed the boundaries of blind stupidity and ego fragility. Does he even know he stand for a nation ?
