Well of course #Trump would not see insider trading as a problem. Just "good business".
We certainly couldn't find any example in his circle of anyone taking advantage of insider information to make stock market gains as a result of his tariffs and other trade actions. Right?

Clearly #DonaldTrump doesn't think that corruption is an applicable concept for him or any world leader *that he likes* at the moment. Corruption is only something that can apply to anyone who opposes or offends him.
The correct response from the Israeli President should be "Butt Out!"

China 🇨🇳 is a terrible enemy and ripping of the USA 🇺🇸. Oh, but we need a lot of their students.
How is a poor MAGA brain 🧠 supposed to process that? It must make their thinkers overheat and that makes them cranky.

It’s really hard to talk out of both sides of your mouth, but Trump does it all the time.
First you demonize foreigners (especially non-white) and do everything you can to have your followers and government make them feel unwanted and even unsafe.
Then you say you need some of them.

This would be paid from the illegal tariffs collected from the US population? Why not get rid of the tariffs and bring down those prices?

- I think you need to let dear leader Pierre know that because he's done a HELL of a lot of that.
Wants to give his rural riding to Carney
- That makes no sense. No one would cross the aisle to hand their seat to someone else.
Wants to "Build for the World"
- That's build so we can sell to the world

Doesn't support a 'Canada First' agenda 🇨🇦
- Is this the Maple MAGA version of Trump's policy.
Clearly Carney's policy is very much putting Canada's LONG TERM interests first.
Likes travelling on the taxpayer dime
- So you are saying Conservatives don't get to travel on the taxpayer dime?

And that's the slippery slope we're sliding down. The more it gets used, the more it WILL get used. And it's use will be trivialized.

Yup, my mind outsmarted me. They still need 2 more votes to have the majority.
Good news is that there's rumors swirling of possible more defections from the Conservative with those unhappy with Pierre's style, policies or other grievance.

That sounds like a Conservative policy. Especially since it would make them very unpopular with seniors. No thanks.
Here’s an idea, the Conservatives can make that a campaign promise.
