What struck me about latest Trump's tweet is that he is seriously not fit for public office.
His nemesis Trudeau resigned. I was expecting him to do a victory dance.

Dear Donald
Canada has something called democracy.
It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced
I bet Americans wish they had that now.
And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation.
We're decent folk
Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way.
