You are American like pie from apples, Astral, or Canadian like syrup from maple tree?

The top-ranked comment on a recent Slate article on Russian interference in the U.S. election:

"My name is Dave. I am American. Like baseball and pie from apples.

This so-calling "journalist" is making bad "journalism."  There is no evidence of Russia wrongdoing, and United States government are trying make American people stupid.

But American people, like me, are not stupid. We are very smart. You cannot trick them even when you try real very hard."
