NAME REMOVED Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Our adversaries (China, Russia, India, etc) are high on Trump, while traditional allies are not. European anxiety about Donald Trump’s return to the White House is not shared in much of the world, a poll has shown, with more people in non-western powers such as China, Russia, India and Brazil welcoming his second term than not. The 24-country poll, which also included Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Indonesia and Turkey, found that Switzerland, the UK, 11 EU nations surveyed and South Korea were alone in feeling Trump 2.0 would be bad for their country and for peace in the world. “In short, Trump’s return is lamented by America’s longtime allies but almost nobody else,” stated the report by the European Council on Foreign Relations thinktank, adding that his re-election left Europe in particular “at a crossroads” in its relations with the US. The report also found that many people outside Europe believed the incoming president was committed to ending wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and saw a Trump-led US as just one leading power among several – including the EU. source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/14/european-jitters-about-trump-20-not-shared-by-much-of-world-poll-finds Quote

This may be a come-to-Jesus moment for a lot of them, but the dumbest amongst them will cheerlead for the Orange Blob no matter what.

Like I said in another thread, it'll be curtains for Poilievre if/when Trump endorses him during the election.

I don't think so. Canadians aren't going to take another round of Liberals just because of something trump says.

I don't think he wants the endorsement either. Give some credit to the guy though. His rhetoric has mostly focused on how bad it is that parliament is prorogued, rather than how we all deserve it like the other quislings on this forum. 1 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he does for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

No, he really doesn't benefit much from his supporters speaking their dumbass minds either. It must suck to have such shit to work with - all he can do it seems is keep pandering to it and hope he can keep riding Trudeau to victory.

eyeball Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 So now the Orange One will be taking over Gaza and turning it into the Florida of the Mediterranean. I doubt the Jewish settlers who had their sights on the place will be very happy about being dispossessed like this. 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
eyeball Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 I guess Trump must figure on just tariffying Jordan and Egypt into submitting to his will. How apropos. 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

No. The election will be about the choice between Liberal failure and Conservative common sense. No matter how hard you try to drag Trump into it. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Sort of but it'll be more specific to a choice between conservative and progressive visions for the future. I think with the Right-winger in Chief to the south making a daily spectacle of himself and the right wing brand in general that Canadians will be giving a lot of pause to consider. Count on Trump being the gift that keeps on giving. Poilievre will be lucky to get a majority government this election and by the time he's under pressure to call his next election conservatives will be so split amongst the hard boiled and moderates that you'll all lose. The struggle over who is Canada's natural governing party will become more about what is Canada's natural governing ideology. This is what I've been hoping for and waiting to see happen for years now and it's definitely the right wings to lose. 7 hours ago, Nationalist said: No matter how hard you try to drag Trump into it.
