Good god, trump is a toddler matched against a PhD, MD, JD of economics rolled into one. No wonder he called him Prime Minister Carney, and said nothing about 51st statehood. He should be on his knees begging Carney to forgive his stupidity and grandiosity. Turns out he can break it, but of the two, Carney alone could fix it. Trump is literally insane, psychopathic, mentally declining and if I didnโ€™t know that thereโ€™s not just a button he can push and explode the world, Iโ€™d be a little more scared. As he declines and feels the failures and humiliation pile up I hate to think what a trapped feral raccoon, with rabies, will doโ€ฆ..

Sadly, a lot of us here in America are terrified. Not all of us voted for the orange menace. It is indeed scary here. The government can disappear anyone.

Any parent who has weathered โ€œthe terrible twosโ€ knows that the more you indulge the child or try to reason with them, the more the tyranny of the temper tantrum escalates.

The best thing to do is send them to their room (isolate them) When they find themselves without an audience or an opponent to struggle with their fury soon fizzles out.

Likewise, we must avoid rewarding the toddler in chief by giving him the impression that he is scaring you with all the noise and threats he us making.

In a way, on his best days heโ€™s like a spoiled brat who won a contest to play President for a Day and is so high on the illusion of his power, he refuses to go home.

Seems like Trump was told by enough people that he needed to back off or crash the American economy and many would argue luckily for America he did. Decent people donโ€™t like bullies. The world isnโ€™t ending and nor will it if trump ruins the American economy and affects the global one. We know there are a lot of decent people in America and most who voted for trump are Iโ€™m sure, itโ€™s just they were conned. Itโ€™ll be interesting to see how far things have to go wrong, in particular for America before the lied to wake up. Hopefully before a dictatorship is cemented and the pursuit of happiness and freedom becomes a thing of the past in what laughingly now used to be seen as the leader of the free world.

Youโ€™re welcome. You missed the point. He didnโ€™t give Trump the elbows up and a fist in the face. Thatโ€™s not how we Canadians operate. Thereโ€™s a reason our education system is #4 in the world. We donโ€™t have contempt for intelligent, well-educated people. E respect them. We find Trumpโ€™s vulgarity and ignorance pathetic and frankly, disgusting. We feel sorry for you still struggling without universal health care. Weโ€™re a healthy democracy with a secure social safety net. Trump has done us a huge favour. Because of his blatant bullying, Canadians are now even more for a moment except that Iโ€™m OK with Donald Trump. Itโ€™s gonna require a lot of courage in the coming weeks and months being in their face every day. The people around Trump increasingly are criminals. The people that are dragging American citizens to El Salvadorian death camps are criminals. fraud criminals, and theyโ€™re all serving the chief liar, the chief fraud and the chief criminal. I know this sounds like weโ€™re already falling into the abyss. I want you to hold a couple of thoughts in your mind. The tipping point once again About each of you individually

There will be a day when the damage theyโ€™ve done, the institutions theyโ€™ve destroyed in this country will end up having to face the proud citizens as opposed to obedient servants to one manโ€™s will.

no i never actually sat through a show (gag reflex kicks in). i've only seen clips. but the point is that everything about this guy is fake, every word out of him is a lie or projection. whenever he accuses anyone of a crime it's because it's what he is doing or plans to do. DT never grew up, Mark Carney did and has a fully developed, well balanced brain and his specialty is Finance

And she remember her Dad talking to her mom about trump and said back then he was a male chauvinist pig and a con man. So go figure.

I would like to subscribe, but live on a small social security. I will try to save enough to do it, though. Hopefully, next month. tRump has more than met his match. I wonder what his excuses will be now. Oh, I know, just more lies. Good for Canada. tRump should resign, but he never will. He'll just make life a living hell for Americans and all the people he hates. With as much as many people hate him, I would think that we should be able to make his life a living hell.

I knew Carney could deal with Trump. Cool head, clinical, plans ahead.

I am very happy that Mark Carney is leading Canada and the world while this madman is on the loose.

If trump thinks he is beaten or has been check mated then expect him to take his rage out of any one or anything that he can get his hands on.

That poor man falsely imprisoned needs getting out immediately. Trump will let him rot as long as he can. It gives him satisfaction.
