The world has known many leaders who have been malignant and narcissistic, even some who have even been cartoonishly needy about putting forth an air of grandiosity as is Trump. What sets Trump apart is his ignorance and arrogance as he does so.

Donald Trump can’t stop trash talking Canada. That may be the reminder we need.
Trump is back, reaffirming his desire to undermine Canada and turn it into an appendage of the United States. For any Canadian voters who thought that was no longer a thing, it’s a useful dash of cold water. #Opinion

Trump has the unmitigated gall to suggest Canadians could keep O Canada after being absorbed into USA. If that ever would happen, (it won't) we should swear off singing that great old song because it won't mean a damn thing any more. If you're no longer strong and free, there's no point.
