My wife an I discussed ways to move abroad after Trump was re-elected. However, we are elderly and are middle class financially. Due to this, I doubt very much a European country or Canada would consider us for relocation. I like the Canadian people very much, I interacted with quite a few of them during my travels as an international sales manager for a company based in LA. I've also called on customers in Europe and Asia, including China multiple times. I have no desire to live in Asia, especially China. Anyway, Trump is ripping apart the soul of America, fucking lying con artist.
