The New York Times is still trying to explain Donald Trump to Americans. The effort might seem a bit late, but the fact that it’s still necessary underlines just how comprehensively Trump’s army of adversaries have failed to figure him out.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
Trudeau, Singh are suddenly very worried about Trump. What’s driving the fear?
Following another decisive victory in New Hampshire, Donald Trump is one step closer to facing U.S. President Joe Biden in a general election rematch in November.
As that possibility crystallizes, Trump’s name has become the talk of the town north of the border. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that a second Trump presidency “won’t be easy.”
Commie parasite Jagmeet Singh says a second Trump presidency would be trouble for Canada
EDMONTON – Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says former U.S. president Donald Trump is completely in his own world, and if he makes it back to the White House it could spell trouble for Canada.
During the NDP’s caucus retreat in Edmonton, Singh said Trump operates in his own league, and likened him to an egomaniac who is seeking vengeance on his political enemies.
And communism would be so much better.
Davos Elites See Potential Return of Trump as Threat to Global Order
A major news item from across the Atlantic stole the spotlight at this year’s annual summit in Davos, Switzerland, where the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people gathered to address global challenges.
Former President Donald Trump’s record-setting victory in Iowa on Jan. 15 became the talk of the town at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Alpine ski village. According to some observers, the question of his potential return to the White House dominated conversations at dinners and parties throughout the summit, overshadowing even the most pressing global issues.
‘Idiots’: ‘Shark Tank’ star Kevin O’Leary blasts Trudeau over Trump jab
Once branded as Canada’s Donald Trump, investor-turned-reality-television-star Kevin O’Leary is hitting out at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after the Liberal leader said a second Trump presidency “won’t be easy” for Canada.
Battered in the polls, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals look for a boost from … Donald Trump?
MONTREAL — The federal Liberals are turning their minds to how they can strategically benefit from the looming shadow of Donald Trump, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet are set to hold sessions on Canada’s relations with the United States ahead of this year’s presidential election.
The discussion is slated for Tuesday, before Trudeau and his front bench of cabinet ministers wrap up three days of strategizing and policy debate ahead of the winter sitting of Parliament. It also happens to occur as Trump tries to tighten his grip on the Republican Party nomination for president with Tuesday’s primary vote in New Hampshire.
The spectre of another Trump presidency looms as Trudeau’s cabinet gathers to start a new year
In August 2016, when the current government was less than a year old, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet gathered at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont. for a two-day retreat. The ministers bunked in the student dorms. The big story of the week concerned a $1,700 bill for car service incurred by Jane Philpott, health minister at the time.
Among their special guests were Michael Barber, the British guru behind “deliverology,” and David MacNaughton, the experienced Liberal adviser who was serving as Canada’s ambassador to the United States.
Trump card: Pathetic Liberals say much is at stake as they paint Tories as ‘MAGA’ politicians
OTTAWA – As the United States election cycle goes into full swing ahead of a pivotal election later this year, federal Liberals north of the border have been increasingly comparing Canadian Conservatives to Trump Republicans.
For several months, the refrain from Liberal MPs is that the federal Tories are doing “American-style” politics, and their leader, Pierre Poilievre, is representing “Trump North.”
Conservative MPs are using “MAGA” tactics, the Liberals say, referring to Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. They’re invoking it just as the ex-president looks for another kick at the presidential can.
Feds flagged transactions with keywords ‘MAGA’, ‘Trump’ for financial institutions: House panel
The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Wednesday announced that it had obtained documents showing that federal agencies flagged financial transactions for financial institutions using politically sensitive terms such as “MAGA” and “Trump.”
The panel described an effort by which Americans might see their transactions flagged while making innocuous transactions such as purchasing a Bible or shopping at sporting goods stores.
Trump victory poses ‘fundamental’ challenge to Europe, warns Blackrock chief
Donald Trump’s re-election poses a “fundamental” challenge to Europe, according to the leader of the world’s largest asset manager.
Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman at Blackrock, said the re-election of the former US President “would challenge Europe fundamentally” following a decades-long dependence on America for leadership on the world stage.
Mr Hildebrand, who has served in the position since 2012, was responding to comments last week from Christine Lagarde, the head of the European Central Bank (ECB), who said Mr Trump posed a “clear threat” to Europe because of his divergent views on climate change and trade policy.
That is the sound of Elite panic.
Trump Prosecutor: They’re Only Accusing Me of Adultery Because I’m Black
Have you been caught committing adultery with your dubiously qualified special prosecutor? Don’t give in: dial 1-800-RACISM.
Scarborough Rants Biden Is the Best Economic, Military President Since 1945
MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough reacted to Donald Trump’s Iowa Caucus victory on Tuesday by going on a fact-free, pro-Biden rant where he asserted that economy has never been better and that, under Biden, the military is now the strongest that it has been since 1945.
In deep Iowa snow, Trump expected to win caucuses in an avalanche
A cold coming we had of it. Icy winds blow across the plains, numbing the face and cutting to the bone. Stranded cars and tractor trailers lie abandoned at the side of highways. Snow is piled high on the side of every road in the state capital, where giant icicles hang off buildings. Candidates’ yard signs and children’s playgrounds have been enveloped by a white blanket.
Welcome to Iowa, often described as the centre of the political universe at this stage of the US electoral cycle, but currently feeling more like the outer reaches of our solar system.
The poor Guardian ia twammatized like these guys below!
MSNBC reporters visibly shocked on-air after having to admit their prediction of a Trump landslide in Iowa caucuses:

Poison Spiders at the Center of the Web
You know why the judge let provocateur Ray Epps off the hook for his antics before and during the so-called J-6 “insurrection,” don’t you? Well, yes, it was partly because he was acting at the direction of blob officials, most likely the FBI, but possibly the CIA, Defense Intelligence, or some black-box fed outfit no one ever heard of (but somehow gets half a billion in funding every year). Ol’ Ray pleaded to one year’s probation (no jail time), 100 hours of community service (checking books out at his local library?), and a $500 fine. Say, what. . . ? A speeding ticket on the Rockville Pike would probably cost you more.
Wild Trump Smears on PBS: ‘Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide, Holocaust. This Is a Real Threat’
Journalist Tim Alberta is author of The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, a book touted as the author’s “deeply personal examination of the divisions that threaten to destroy the American evangelical movement.” He’s been making the rounds of friendly liberal media outlets lamenting fear-based evangelical Christian loyalty to Donald Trump, and his Friday stop at PBS’s Firing Line With Margaret Hoover may have been his most over the top excoriation of all.
