Not at all. I have no intention of being complimentary to your Liar in Chief.

I think your president is an idiot. I think he is narcissistic and egotistical; he has low self-esteem (that's why he keeps telling everyone how great and smart he is), no empathy for others, and cares only about what is good for him and his rich friends; he is rude, insensitive, insulting, insincere, dishonest, and a bully; he is a proven liar (over 10,000 now, even though it should only take 1 to make the case) who has mislead the American people (e.g., "Mexico will pay for the wall," and "Americans are not paying the tariffs imposed on Chinese goods."). He is a fake person with no leadership skills. He cheated on his wives, and he repeatedly cheated contractors working for him by not paying contracted amounts.

Would you like to hear a few more compliments? I am sure a few Americans can add to the above list.

He had a healthcare plan that was going to cover everybody...better coverage and cheaper as well.

Oh, and once in office, he was going to start acting presidential, so presidential it would be boring.

And he was never going to leave the Whitehouse...would always be working, never going to play golf.

Those three were forgotten and trampled in his mud within 60 days of inauguration.

Trampled in the mud of the swamp he promised to drain.

So, nobody should talk about your country’s leader, but you feel you can trash our President? You are the quintessential democrat. Worry about your leader, he seems to have problems. We will elect our own President.

Obakapig never promised to drain the swamp. He soaks in the slime.

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

Obummer deepened the slime.

It is great to talk to the savior of the world. You have lots of claims but can you back up your claims?

Now you know that President Trump is an idiot except that we have the best financial outlook in decades and the lowest unemployment rates in decades. You are a psychologist, financial analyst, walking lye detection machine etc.

It is no wonder that they call you John. You are full of crap!

JohnFrim Loc: Somewhere in the Great White North.

First off, I am not the saviour of the world... I believe someone else has recently laid claims to the titles of King of Israel and The Chosen One (as he looked toward the heavens). You might even know who that is. He tends to get a lot of air time on TV and basks shamelessly in his glory.

Second, I believe every one of my claims is easily backed up. However, even if I provided you (Trumpeters, all of you) with hard evidence it would be labeled as fake. And even if you found it unconscionable to deny the truth you would somehow convince yourselves that the issue is not important; he gets a pass.

Third, the economy and employment stats have been on a steady improvement since about 2009/2010 with no significant change in rates as of 2016 when Trump was elected. The only thing Trump can honestly take credit for is that things did not slow down because of him.

And no, I am not a psychologist, financial analyst, walking lie (not lye) detection machine etc. But there is someone who believes he is smarter than his generals, knows more about ISIS than anyone, knows about steel better than anyone, knows the technology of drones better than anyone, knows construction, etc. I am surprised he does not claim to be an opera singer, because he sure rehearses a lot ("me me me me").

However, I will say that Trump is an experienced business man and good deal maker. See, a business deal happens when a man with money meets a man with experience; the man with the experience gets the money, and the man with the money gets the experience. Trump would call that a fair deal and a win/win exchange.

Want another positive about Trump? He is positively NOT deserving of holding the office of POTUS.

JohnFrim Loc: Somewhere in the Great White North.

No, Elaine, I have NO PROBLEM with you or anyone expressing their opinions, good or bad, about Justin Trudeau. He is, after all, just a politician. (BTW, do you know the origin of the term "politic?" It is derived from "poly" meaning many, and "tick" which is a blood-sucking pest.)

My only bone to pick with you on this issue is that you tell non-Americans to keep their noses out of US politics, but then you don't tell Americans to keep their noses out of other countries' politics, be it issues, name calling, or whatever. There just seems to be a little hypocrisy in your attitude in that you chastise outsiders for their actions but you give a pass to your fellow Americans. Funny how that seems to be the modus operandi for most Trumpeters -- they revere Trump and give him a pass for anything he does, but they instantly jump on democrats for the same behaviour.

Further on the two-faced behaviour of Trumpeters, every time Trump gets called out for an undeniably bad behaviour that cannot be defended or denied, the only argument -- a deflection, really -- Trumpeters raise is "What about when ??? was President?" The point is that this is 2019 and Trump is the current President. You can't change the past, and bad behaviour in the past should never be used to justify bad behaviour in the present.

Your blood sucking beta PM wears black face.

JohnFrim Loc: Somewhere in the Great White North.

Yes, our duly-elected (i.e., no outside interference, meddling, assistance from foreign powers) PM did, at one time, wear black face. And he admitted it, he apologized, and he expressed remorse. As far as I know he has never "sucked blood" (money) from anyone in his business dealings.

Justin Trudeau is the complete antithesis of Donald J Trump. Justin Trudeau is a man.

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

John, you can’t seem to understand it is NOT my job to tell others how to act. I personally do not think it is my business to tell Justin anything or bitch about him. He is YOUR leader and by the same token, it is up to YOUR leader to deal with Trump. You don’t like something, go to your leader. Bitching about Trump gets you nowhere just like my bitching about Justin will get me nowhere and I try not to do that. If you got no vote, others don’t care what you are saying, you have no vote and you aren’t American. I would never vote for one of those whacked out Dems that wants to tax us at 65 percent to give away free crap to the lazy of this country.

US politics are the business of voting US citizens, not Canadians. It is OUR country.

You used to appear to be very right leaning, but open minded. You no longer appear to be open minded. I'm aware that appearances and fact are not always the same, but I thought it needed stated.

I was aware you are a musician. I didn't know you were a comedian.

Wearing Brown face is worse than excluding blacks from housing you are renting? I guess it could be, but it sure needs some explaining.

thom w Loc: San Jose, CA

He is a conservative and I only agree with him half the time, if that, but your allegation is false. How surprising.
