To what? I'll take this as an admission that you have no grounds to oppose in good faith anything I've posted.

He's a disaster and I am an educated impartial observer.

Uh, no, Trump is a disaster

Trump is a grift machine. His primary products are misinformation, illegality, corruption and hate. Manufactured enemies, fake trade deals, manipulated markets, his own personal jet. His gullible followers latch on to the hate he peddles while he robs the country blind and seeks to destroy the best parts of it for his own personal gain.

Spoken in the true authoritarian fashion.

Violence is never condoned. There are avenues to address that. But how does that justify Trump wanting control over every class that is taught at the campus?

So now you don't even support first amendment rights?

if you think the scam that Trump is pulling on America is good for them, you are deluded.

What do you know about it except what you have been told? Get yourself an education.

Yeah, the Heritage Foundation is far superior to Harvard in education. /s

A drop in the bucket compared to the trillions lost in the stock market under his mismanagement, but anyways ... First, Trump has to pause the the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

Like what?

That you think the government should punish educational institutions for their independence makes you a Commie.

What actually happened was that European leaders – Starmer, Macron, Merz and Tusk – met with Zelensky to hammer out a peace ultimatum, and then only later got Trump on an unscheduled phone call and appealed to his vanity and megalomania and agreed to let him take the credit for it. (The Trump Administration also mispresented their role in the India-Pakistan talks) Yeah, I heard. Biggest arms deal in history, right? Actually, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down: -3.2% since January 20, 2025. All due to Trump’s mismanagement. No, there have been no trade deals. Just executive announcements and a lot of noise that don’t amount to anything. American tariffs remain dramatically higher than they were on the day before Trump took office. You have to learn – when Trump says something – it doesn’t mean anything. It’s all smoke and mirrors – again more “announcements” made solely to curry favour with Trump. Announcements do not equal investments. Consider Apple’s recent announcement to invest $500 billion. Wall Street is rolling their eyes at it, calling the $500 billion figure “completely unrealistic mechanically.” It’s just a recycling of old announcements, to grab headlines. In January, 2018, Apple announced a $350 billion contribution to the US economy. That included a plan to create 20,000 jobs, the same figure touted this year. Then, in April 2021, during Biden’s administration, Apple announced plans to spend more than $430 billion over five years. It’s all – been there, done that.

No, I have just read a lot of comments from them. In Italy, they call him "brutta figura" which means "makes a bad impression, or makes a fool of himself. Read the comments on those Instagram posts. The most common comment from Americans is "This is so embarrassing." Um, he has said it. He said, "I run the country, and I run the world." Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee: - rejected an amendment requiring the government to abide by the Constitution and provide due process before removing anyone from the U.S. and sending them to a torture prison in El Salvador. - voted to allow Trump to allow ICE to continue detaining and deporting U.S. citizens to a foreign country. - voted to impose a cruel $3,500 government fee on families taking in unaccompanied children who arrive in the U.S. - refused to stop Trump’s Department of Justice from firing military veterans without cause - voted to allow Trump to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to send Americans to foreign dictators’ jails. This doesn't even get into Trump attacking judges. - voted to defund courts’ power to hold Administration officials in contempt for violating court orders and the rights and freedoms of the American people. - voted to allow immigration raids at elementary schools. - supported Trump’s assault on the constitutional right of all children born in America to citizenship, under the 14th Amendment. - voted against allowing just .05% of the funding provided under their bill to be used to conduct oversight and root out waste, fraud, and abuse. - voted to support ICE’s violation of the First Amendment and due process rights of students at American colleges and universities. - endorsed detaining and deporting students at U.S. colleges and universities for holding views the Administration dislikes under a Cold War-era statute so extreme Donald Trump’s own sister called it “unconstitutional…on its face.” - voted to allow ICE to conduct raids on houses of worship. - voted to allow the ICE to hire January 6 rioters who beat cops as they breached the Capitol and attempted to overthrow an election by force. - supported the use of taxpayer dollars to arrest Supreme Court justices for their legal opinions. - refused to require ICE agents to identify themselves when conducting immigration enforcement actions. - voted to allow this Administration to ship anyone, including U.S. citizens, off to the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. - rejected an amendment to prevent the use of tax returns filed with the IRS to round up and deport taxpaying, law-abiding individuals. - supported the mass deportation of farm workers in the U.S., who keep food on our shelves. - rejected funding to provide lawyers to unaccompanied children facing immigration proceedings. - voted to allow ICE to indefinitely detain families. - refused to require ICE to consider U.S. military veterans’ service in deportation proceedings - refused to require DOJ to reinstate critical grants that support law enforcement, crime prevention, opioid addiction treatment, and victims of violent crime. - voted to deport DACA recipients—undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children. - rejected four amendments to scale back waste and excessive spending in Republicans’ funding bill, including $250 million on new cars. - voted to give CBP and HHS $40 million to strip search children. - voted to allow immigration raids in shelters for victims of domestic violence.

A few things - First, Trump is seen as a fool worldwide. These pictures cement that perception. Second, this corresponds with his presumption that he is the ruler of the world. That's not working well for the US. Third, he is dismantling the US republic and these sorts of posts are used as distractions from that.

Yes, you remind me of Nero, fiddling while the world burned

Is that what you think an official government website should be used for?

First, there was the AI-generated image of Trump as the Pope posted to the official White House and POTUS Instagram accounts. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJLPgYRRIoe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Classic narcissistic move. Inserting yourself where you are not relevant. Demanding that all the attention be on you. Then, there's the Star Wars post on the next day. It's all a big show to him, with him as the star. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJPQ72FxNkC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Cringe! Trump is holding a red lightsaber - that's the sabre colour of the bad guys (did the AI image generator play a joke on Trump or just follow the info it had on him?) And whoever came up with this didn't know the difference! (Or did?) According to Google: In Star Wars, red lightsabers are a defining characteristic of the Sith and those aligned with the dark side of the Force. They represent power, aggression, and a connection to negative emotions like anger and hatred. This association stems from the Sith's use of synthetic Kyber crystals that are "bled" with dark side energy, turning them red. So, Trump says - Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords … back into our Galaxy – and then depicts himself as a Sith Lord. And when he says - You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire – does he realize he’s US government? He’s the Empire, not the people. As one commentor posted: This is genuinely so disrespectful. The empire stands for a minority of rich and powerful people being in charge of everyone else. They put status above humanity, and kill or jail people they believe are a threat to them. The rebellion is freedom, and equality. They believe in humanity, not money. At least you got the lightsaber color right. Trump has officially entered the psychotic emperor phase.

"It was his race to lose" means he had a huge advantage in the polls and lost it

Here's what he said: "It's easy to be conspicuously compassionate if others are forced to pay the cost." Several assumptions here. First, the use of the word "conspicuous" questions one's true motivations without basis. And saying others are forced to pay the cost - not founded in reality. We all pay our taxes, and our taxes support those less fortunate, and I am glad to contribute my taxes for other Canadians in need. His quote is skeptical of the true compassion people feel for others, and is a cynical point of view meant to turn others from the generosity society needs to function well. It's a dark statement on humanity that I do not agree with. It's really rather ugly.

It was Poilievre's race to lose, and he lost it big time by copying Trump. He tried to import the culture wars, and Canadians were too savvy, and rejected that. And what was up with copying Trump's slogan "America First" (translation: f*ck everyone else) - and trying to rally the Canadian public with "Canada First" - that just doesn't work with Canadians! We see ourselves as cooperators, not arrogant fools. "Canada strong" much better resonated with Canadians.

See, I can't take you seriously when you say things like this. You are clearly indoctrinated yourself into the right-wing ideology, which views any truth-seeking opposed to their ideology as a threat. Why do right-wingers so fear the truth?

Yeah, your guy Rothbard, opposed egalitarianism and the civil rights movement, and blamed the welfare state on the right of women to vote. He was friends with Holocaust deniers. He's better left to the dustbin of history.

Well, I know they include the things the Trump Administration is trying to silence, like "women" and "diversity"
