Haha! The amused look on the Korean Official's face is priceless, and Trump looks completely captivated by the lavish gold in that crown. This scene is hilarious!
Weeks ago, South Korea mocked Trump with a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown, claiming it symbolized “peace.” In reality, the crown came from the Silla Kingdom, whose king was assassinated after a civil war and kingdom destroyed by corruption & rule for the wealthy.

Quebec's separatism is rooted in preservation of culture, language & history and Quebecers' opposition to Trump has in some ways increased their sense of Canadian patriotism. The separatist political movement currently in Quebec is not an immediate priority #Canada🇨🇦🍁
Quebec is the most anti-Trump province in Canada.
Positive impressions of Trump are highest in Alberta (21%) and Ontario (20%).

The Vichy Dems in “Leadership” positions need to go ASAP.

We are in the middle of an Authoritarian takeover attempt.

Surrender is NOT an option for anyone other than collaborators.

The policy right now is "cruelty". #USA
Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

No. That's not a typo. We are NOT the greatest country EVER on earth.

A US Government statement on CDC website calls it the Democrat-led shutdown.

It says: "The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people. Mission-critical activities of CDC will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown".

PM Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart?

PM Carney: "Well, we have rule of law."

Trump forgot a simple rule: push people hard enough and they'll push back even harder. In this week's elections, Democrats have regained momentum. #US #politics #Democrats

Voters Reject the Cruelty, Chaos, and Corruption of Trumpism
There were no bright spots for the GOP this election. Across the country, Democrats running on inclusionary, economically ambitious, pro-immigrant policies won.

Well, Mark Carney is building a strong Canada. PP is tearing it apart. To reiterate, Conservative MPs are leaving because they are dissatisfied with the leadership & policy. In joining the Liberals, they support what they see as a more promising direction for #Canada.🇨🇦 #politics #cndpoli
Cochrane: "Jeneroux was seriously considering switching ranks to the Liberals, and what the National Post is reporting, he even met with Prime Minister Mark Carney recently"
