Welcome to my blog. I had a lot of time for Trump when he first took office. He did look to many of us outside of the USA like the sort of champion that the West needs but his admin has made some terrible errors. There should not have been tariffs without there being US industry to replace the stuff that was being subjected to tariffs. This has made imported goods more expensive for Americans to buy. As for the war, Mr Trump promised not to be so eager to get involved in foreign adventures but this has not happened. His Government did not have the quick victory over the Iranian Mullahs that might have saved the Republican's Congress seats and all that has happened is that American forces have got bogged down in the Gulf region.
I doubt that the change of members of the American legislature will end this current war in the short term and there are likely to be other wars on the horizon. It was in my view foolish for the Republicans to promise what they clearly could not deliver which was no war as war has a habit of creeping up on nations due to geopolitical events. All parties have 'retarded' policies that have no purpose but to cater for a party's base and it's likely that Democrats might create some retarded policies of their own.
I believe that politically my American friends might be in for some of those proverbial 'interesting time',
You are not the first Canadian who has said that. Maybe if Mr Trump had been less bombastic towards Canada then things might have turned out differently and the relationship between the two countries could have been more collegiate?
Canadians have hated Donald Trump since his Bankruptcy Days in the 80s and 90s when he borrowed $$$ from Russia to stay alive. He is just a big Loser. And everyone hates him for being a Communist buddy of Putin and Netanyahu
If I may ask you a question as a Canadian. This question is would the Liberal Party in Canada have been re-elected under Mark Carney had Donald Trump not been so unpopular in Canada or if he had not riled Canadians up as much as he clearly did? I ask this as there are commentators here in the UK who are of the opinion that Mr Poilievre and his party might have done better were it not for Trump's negative attitude to Canada?
Pierre Poilievre would never ever win against Carney.
I was a Conservative and voted for Harper and Pierre every year until Carney replaced Trudeau.
Back in 2008 USA sub Prime Mortgage Crash … Carney was Governor of Bank of Canada everyone was very happy with the way Carney managed this Crisis and all hoped that he would some day run as Prime Minister …. Even the great Conservative PM Stephen Harper backs Carney
I have less of an issue with Netanyahu than some have, there are worse leaders for a nation to have in wartime than him. Some anti Carney commentators in the UK are pro-Trump but some are more Trump agnostics yet more are just anti the Canadian Liberal Party because of its perceived woke excesses. As regards Putin fans what we do have are a few self claimed 'Western Traditionalists' who are mistakenly in my view,seeing Putin's Russia as a lifeboat for traditional Western Christian based lifestyles. They make a lot of noise but have little influence.
The energy supply problems and affordability problems are likely to make some parties in Europe look towards trading with Russia again and buying Russian sourced energy.
Yes we do have Russian bot problems but then there is also Iranian, Chinese and other bots promoting their causes and nations as well.

Here in Canada everyone only ever saw Trump as a complete imbecile.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me on this. It's interesting to hear some of this background to the Canadian Trump animus.
Your UK pundits who are anti- Carney and Pro Trump are all Putin Trolls … and Bot Farms.
Trump works for Putin, Epstein and Netanyahu
