Just because there is not a big national protest doesn’t mean that people still aren’t out protesting.

For example, MLive reported on the scene in Michigan along the US/Canada border on Saturday:

At three bridge crossings linking Michigan — in the cities of Detroit, Port Huron and Sault Ste. Marie — with Canada, organizers on both sides of the Great Lakes showed up April 26 to protest. Their focus: Opposing the international policies of President Donald Trump, whose tariffs and talk has caused strain between the U.S. and its Michigan neighbor, Canada.

Americans and Canadians alike stood along lakeside parks, holding protest signs and flags from both countries while cheering on each other from across the water.

Some Michigan-based participants arrived after hours-long drives to join the rallies and express their deepening displeasure with the president’s policies.

Besides potentially getting a liberal government elected in Canada this week, Trump has united both sides of the border against him.

What is happening with Americans and Canadians coming together is exactly the sort of pressure that breaks politicians like Trump.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party convinced themselves that they had a mandate when the only mandate they had was to deal with costs and inflation. They’ve dealt with it by making it worse.

The world is coming together in a common purpose to reject Donald Trump.
