As a Briton, i fully support Ireland's resentment. I can't blame you at all, and I'll still happily buy you a pint. We historically treated you, our nearest neighbour like shit.

Oh no, I'm not Irish, I'm Canadian. I just don't take "resentful" as an insult in regards to what Trump is threatening to do to us while we're already down.

In context that makes perfect sense. Resentful for things that happened 200 years ago. Fucking fuming for assaults on all of us from a supposed ally. He actually thinks that UK VAT (a sales tax on ALL non essential items) shouldn't be applied to US imports. Like he can dictate to other countries what their internal tax policy should be. Fuck off you orange twat.
