    Good for Canada to move forward with other reliable trading partners.

    ZERO class. Gawd. Along the same lines, I recall the song he and Melania danced to at his first-term Inauguration balls: Sinatra: "I did it my way." Putz.

    Carney said at a presser a few weeks ago that the plan was to forget the USA, ramp up trade with other partners, and rebuild some supply chains entirely within Canada. They're following thru, and I wish 'em the best.

    Allegedly nope. Which I'd likely be prepared for anyway since investing for a 'post Orange' future would still, in my view, be a safe bet if that unfortunate scenario happened. Though in all seriousness, maybe I should call it a 'post America' future to be more accurate.

    I guess we'll get used to the huge gold "TRUMP" sign on the front of the White Trump House.

    I'm getting more and more apprehensive. Gov't agencies and the military are already co-opted.

    I keep having visions of a 95-yr old orange blob still lounging around in the WH while American citizens, a quarter of which are now homeless and hungry, keep sending in the tax money to fund the DeUnited Sovereign Wealth Fund OR ELSE. (Give me the OR ELSE!)

    They won't be hungry, they'll be sustained on TRUMPO, the officially-branded American beverage of choice.

    (if you've seen 'Idiocracy' you'll get the reference)

    So, TRUMPO will save the soybean crop by lowering the amount per acre to be sold. Got it.;)
