Trump, Sinking, On Both Sides of the Border

IT BECOMES REDUNDANT, talking about Trump every time you lift a pen, open your mouth, or sit down at a keyboard, but there's a good reason for it. Its important to talk about Trump, because he is, quite simply, the most important and influential person in the world. You have no idea how much it pains me to say that. Or perhaps you do. And, by all evidence, what Trump wants more than anything else is attention, a lot of it from a lot of people. He certainly has it, having, arguably, earned it through effort alone. Better to talk about him too much than too little. If you ignore a powerful influential person, such as an authoritarian ruler of a large and powerful nation, said ruler might take advantage of being ignored by doing evil things without detection, like persecute and eliminate personal enemies. It is becoming increasingly obvious that Trump, fully aware that he is rapidly heading towards the end of his time as president, intends to carry out his complete agenda as quickly and forcefully as possible. Even though he may idneed try to illegally remain in power for life, there is no guarantee of that, so he must make the most of his final three years, or so he thinks. The speed and unaccountable audacity with which he is moving forward with his attacks on alleged drug boats, his destruction and drastic renovatons to the White House property, and invasions of American cities with military force are alraming, and portend worse to come. Attacking Venezuela and building a monstrous, garganguan building right next to our beautiful White House, looming over it forever are not even the worst things Trump is doing right now. Arguably turning Canada into an enemy is. I never in my wildest imaginations thought that it would ever be possible for anybody, any American president to actually turn Canada into an enemy of the United States, never thought there would ever be anyone would would want to or try to, but, give Trump credit where credit is due; he can, in his own evil, twisted way, accomplish incredible feats. Feats such as speaking the big election lie, and convincing tens of millions of people that it is the truth. Feats like that. Most Canadians must by now hate Trump as much as most Americans do. How could they possibly not? Trump has done great harm to American agriculture, especially the beef and soybean businesses, which are, or were huge components of the American economy. Relations with both Canada and China are in the tank, largely due to Trump's hostile economic and agricultural policies. Trump's entire economic policy, from giving huge tax breaks to the extremely wealthy, to imposing tariffs chaotically and unpredictably for no apparent reason other than the misguided notion that this behavior bolsters the American economy, is, it is rapidly becoming evident, a complete disaster. Trump's approval rating has dropped to below forty percent; it will drop further, and it seems unlikely that it will ever go back up. If it reaches historical lows,which to a certain extent it already has, perhaps the current Republican stranglehold on the government could be broken, and all these disastrous conservative policies, such as ignoring climate change and alienating neighbor countries and former allies, can be reversed and repaired. Trump has stopped no wars, made no peace, but instead has started the United States on an aggressive, violent, militaristic path forward. He must be stopped. Resistance to Trump is growing, and will soon, must soon, for the sake of our beloved America, become unstoppable and sucessful.
