Trump likes to point to the strength of the markets as a measure of the benefits that result from the policies of his administration. Well Trump's ill advised trade war has global markets in a sell off. Elections have consequences. Americans going to reap what they sowed.

Trump wants to play economic sabotage over some ficticious notion that fentanyl is streaming into the US thru our border. The man is beyond deranged. Too many GOP members need to grow a pair and stand up to his lunacy. This Canadian will not step foot in thr US as long as Trump is in office.

Trump is a bloviating,narcissistic dipsh!t. To suggest that DEI policies had anything to do with the plane crash is an absurd conclusion. Comey's assessment that he is loosely tethered to the truth is a gross understatement.

“Conservatives are so good at fiscal and economic matters.” 🤡
For those keep score: Doug Ford has added $22.5B more to provincial debt than Kathleen Wynne did in her 5 years.
Conservatives are far from being fiscally prudent despite preaching so.

Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence
For all their talk about being fiscally prudent, Conservative politicians in Canada have more or less abandoned the idea of balancing the budget.

Trump's assertions- even though delivered assertively as well as belligerently - are often not supported by fact.
As others have noted, the man is loosely tethered to the truth.

Justin Trudeau "There is a tradition in Canada when times are tough, when it's a moment of crisis, when we are threatened, Canadians pull together. We step up, we go across partisan lines, we defend Canada. It seems increasingly clear that is not something Poilievre

Here’s another fact to get under the skin of Cons; military spending. It was the lowest in almost 100 years under the Harper/Poilievre Con govt. It’s now over double that under the Trudeau Liberal govt and increasing annually:

Jack Smith is winding down the classified documents case & the DC Election case. Legal experts suggest that dismissing the 2 federal cases against Trump without prejudice possibly leaves open a door for future prosecution. Unless Trump pardons himself. Suspect this will be a travesty of justice.
