Just when you think Donald Trump has exhibited his most low-class behaviour, he trumps himself — pardon the pun.

His vile and disgusting comments on the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife set a new low for this reprehensible excuse for a human being. Compounding that is the lack of outrage from most of his simpering sycophant Republican toadies. Are they so terrified of retribution, so devoid of principle that they cannot call out Trump’s outrageous hyperbole?

While I have never seen him in person, by comparison to others he has appeared next to, he looks to be a rather physically large person. It is amazing that such a big man can be such a small jerk or that he can fit on planet Earth with an ego the size of Jupiter.

I expect that, when he checks out, even his most vociferous opponents will not denigrate his memory with such depraved and shameful comments.

HOW MANY CHANCES DO THEY GET?

When a government inflicts economic hardship on its citizens through economic mismanagement, discourages industrial progress, invokes the Emergencies Act on peaceful protest, ignores sovereignty discord or embarrasses the country internationally, most citizens would sensibly turf that government out for a better future.

Not so in Canada. Back in comes the same tired old incompetent government, but with a new tariff-fighting banker who appears as the leader to have no particular time frame in implementing critically needed policies, which he plagiarized from his opposition.

How many times do we give this party a chance to get something right? The last and lost decade of virtue signalling has cost us dearly. When we should have been developing our trade resources, instead Canadians were satisfied with remaining hewers of wood and drawers of water.

With the CUSMA review coming next year, remember that the U.S. president made his real-estate fortune outsmarting bankers.
