I don't disagree with 95% of your post. Obama, Biden, we're 2 of the weak kneed pres of all time. None of this explains why Trump would turn on NATO, Ukraine, publicly rebuke Zelensky who had no relationship with either, represent that Putin has rights to Crimea, suggest that maybe Ukraine should disappear, and give Putin a hug, rather than double down on pressure on Russia with his favorite tariffs, sanctions idea. To think he has a different view goes 100% of what he tells socialists in Europe, Liberals in Canada, communists in China. Suddenly he loves Putins brand of communism....hmmmm Putins ownership of Putin is a far more practical explanation. Vs the word of a murdering Dictator Putin...

He could cut off Ukraine from weapons and let Europe supply. He could just tell Russia to get out. He could privately tell Ukraine to give up Crimea He could pull out of Nato He could send in troups to support Ukraine, He could put more sanctions on Russia. Many things he could do BUT What he did do was hug Putin, threaten Ukraine, turn on NATO allies, offer Russia an economic relationship...... you see he offers help to Russia not as a carrot, because if it was he would not threaten Ukraine and you suggest Putin doesn't have something on Trump. Hmmmmm

For a long time there has been commentaries about Putin Trump relationship, as Trump has a few times in his life need serious financial aid. He may mig have been fully aware, but soon made aware. I think it is supported by his public proclamation of his position on Russia-Ukraine. What would anyone have to gain by publicly telling Zelensky he is wrong, he caused the war, and threaten he may lose hus country. Trump fears Putin...personally not politically is my read on this. Am I right, ? If not why is he doing this?

Not how I judge him...it behoves all of us to move to the middle.

Joe, I do not think Doc is a cult member...he is a thinking man, and as prove comes out he will recognize it.

The proof is starting to come out. Calling Zelensky the dictator and Putin his friend. Suggesting Ukraine started the conflict because they didn't give in to Putins demands. I really hope my thoughts on this trump Putin relationship is not true, BUT. Revisionist history has never occurred so early in history. How can you and others not see this.

Could it be that Putin and his oligarchs money is the reason for Trumps rise from financial disaster to stability? Hmmm

This post was last week, and I have modified my thoughts a bit, Doc showed me the errors of my ways, but rest assured, Big changes are afoot.

Yes

Not smarter...but quite convinced that free elections are a thing of the past below the 49th. I pray I am wrong...but I fear I am right. And Doc, I know you are intelligent and as the next 24 months goes by, I will respect you position, but may disagree

Read the rest of my post. You are quoting like a Maga hack. You are smarter tan that So have we...just like Biden

The world is laughing at your leader. Your voters are the joke. In their last free election, they chose a president for life.

Or more,

Don't you mean Trump is special President Those idiots in 1776 never pictured their dream this way. So many issues at home to fix, change was needed, a reset for sure. The religious crash has come Question is now, 40 days in, why does he and his vp find it necessary to lecture Canada, England, Europe, South Africa about their governments, about their way of life, and take the side of a dictator. Hmmmm Stay tuned Batman, it is becoming obvious Watson...there is much more to unfold...

Funding was just cut

You must know more than economists and are a rich Sherpa. Make sure you read up on Texas refineries and the need for heavy crude. If Canada stopped supplying tomorrow it would cause a war. Trump is looking for someone to beat up on.

Wrong...it needs heavy crude, natural gas, wood and electricity from outside its borders.

Can't say it is better, but certainly the prev 4 years was a clown show. I could never understand how elected officials like Biden AOC, Kamala etc etc could spend time, money teaching illegal non citizens how to avoid there own federal government over the wishes of citizens. Similar activities occur in Canada which is why Trudeau is done. I know Trump wants to be isolationist, but this is 2025, and tis worlds economy with the need for energy and tech can isolate the US and cause considerable pain.

Kamala had no views, only politics controlled by AOC gang. She should never have been vp. She is the epitome of DEI...and anyone who supports sanctuary cities and defies a federal government basic laws and responsibilities should be charged. I have never supported far left agenda. Nor the far right.

Well, the dems are right, you CANNOT trust the new prez. Well the repubs are right, you CANNOT trust the last prez. Well, the dems are right, you CANNOT trust the repubs party. Well, the repubs are right, you CANNOT trust the dems.

She is gone, thank goodness, but stop pointing to the past when the issue is the present prez.

No, just the last 3 words..

Yes trump has placed 25% tariff on steel and aluminum from Canada on top if the 25% he already promised and postponed for 30 days. That was confirmed by the Whitehouse spokesman last night. So steel and aluminum costs increase by 50%...that is good for all and solves all the problem. So, US producers of cars that use Canadian steel and aluminum get 50% increase, parts for auto from the rest of the world and Canada (including production by GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda etc) go up by 25%, cars produced from Japan, Korea, Europe, Canada, Mexico go up by 25%. That helps everyone.

Yes Canada needs to stop this woke bs. Yes Canada like many countries have had a long journey to the far left in many areas. I hate it, vote against it, and speak out against DEI. For a year I took Covid shots survived as dud my asthmatic wide and my 1 year old grandson living in my house. Do I think they had lasting effect. Yes. But none of this gives your prez the right or reason the threaten our country or anyone else. Comment if you wish. I do on rediculous and illegal sanctuary cities, migrant control, the cause of trump victory and buffalo head followers. But across the board tariffs attack us, 51st state attacks us. Breaking our trade agreement attacks us, and attacking our NATO partners is an attack on us. We are no longer friends after 150 years (that is terrible since we played no part in that ) nd my neighbour elected a radical ultra right leader, which to fiscal conservative is terrible...as was Biden.

Also I,portmanteau to mote that those accounts in many cases contained money funneled from the buffalo heads in your country. If China had been funding rioting BLM groups you may have done the same thing. The law was followed, the investigation was done, some were cleared some were in prisoned. Time to review our process and maybe change laws. But it is frankly non of your business unless you were the money man.we don't have mass importation, or multilateral children, we don't even teach them pronouns (yet). Back to the point. Your prez has created a situation between us which is intolerable. Not our making. As far as I am concerned every mayor, council, governor who allow sanctuary cities is a traitor to your country, but it is your problem, not ours.
