"We put a big tariff on Europe. They are coming to the table. They want to talk, but there's no talk unless they pay us a lot of money on a yearly basis. Number one for present but also for past because they’ve taken a lot of our wealth." - #Trump yesterday.

I'm beginning to think that we've accidentally ended up as extras in a bad movie satire. 😳 🤦‍♀️

In German: Bäh, macht das weg! Das ist eklig! 🤢

Agreed, but I'm more pessimistic than you on this. I've said a few times that I believe it will take at least one generation, and possibly more, to restore the goodwill that Canada has traditionally had for the USA and its people.

So, ~25 years, or 6 presidential terms for one generation. And that clock doesn't start until the USA's leadership becomes reliably sane again and starts treating us properly. As long as the political landscape in the USA remains "the very next election could bring back a MAGA lunatic", that clock doesn't run.

There's no way this damage can be repaired with just an election of one sane president - i.e. your "faint hope" I don't think exists at all.

'In the Oval Office today, Donald Trump used “Palestinian” as a slur and said the highest-ranking Jewish elected official, Chuck Schumer, is “not Jewish.” Those comments went unchallenged by the reporters in the room. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains the problem with reporters learning not to be outraged by anything Trump says.'
