When a warehouse full of unstable volatile vapors blows up, the exact spark that started off the explosion is never the cause of the explosion.

Any little thing can start it. The issue is not the spark, the issue is the precarious and unstable situation that had been building up for a long time.

I don't think that analogy applies to Trump's actions. It's not like enmity against Canada was building up in US or there was a popular groundswell to rename Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. It's all Trump, it's not some unknown spark, it's one giant flaming bag of Cheetos.
