Despite his liberties with the truth, Trump has amassed the most faithful record of modern U.S. presidents in doing what he promised to do
I was just reminded of Canada’s odd view of the United States by returning, for I think the third or fourth time, to Steve Paikin’s The Agenda on TVOntario, to respond to his questions about my recent book, Donald J. Trump, A President Like No Other (embarrassed descent to crass self-interest: please buy it). It is widely thought, and believed by most Canadians, that we know the United States better than anyone because we are so close and in many respects similar, to Americans. It is true that Canadians understand the American national character and tastes better than Europeans do. But we have no great aptitude to judge the United States in its role as an immense nation functioning at a level of influence on the world that had never been imagined to be possible prior to America’s emergence as a great world power a century ago, or the United States today as the world’s only superpower, rising to face the challenge of China, as it did to threats of Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and in economic terms, corporate Japan.

I haven’t thought of him as grating yet.
All smiles here.
Best election ever.
Best president ever.
So... much... WINNING!
6.5 years to go...
Thank heaven.
A New Yorker is grating? Where did they get that urban legend, The problem is that the press can dish it out, but can’t take it. Bunch of immature 4 year olds wetting themselves. Finally showing the world that they cannot lead in any way shape or form.
Despite his liberties with the truth...
...Conrad Black is not quite shilling for the Demagogic Party. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
I still remember that from Junior High School.
NeverTrumpers spend too much time focusing on the molehill and ...missing the Mountain...(irrational focus). Sometimes they get a small glimpse of reality... and for that we should applaud them - small flash of light in their total blindness - a step in the light direction..
Ditto. The sentiments apply even more today
