The smartest thing would be for the G-6 not to invite Trump to future meetings and for Theresa May to cancel the meeting next month with Trump since he called her too "schoolmistressy".

A man only gets that angry when he has met a thief and has been fooled. That is your answer whether it makes sense to you or not.

Apparently that is the case with Trudeau. Allies don't do that and friends would never think of it.

Right give it to Angela or Theresa . At least then we can have real gang rape in our cities as does Germany now. Or "no go" zones in England where islamic terrorists have turned neighborhoods into ghettos of islam.

You bet...that would be the "smartest thing"

jesus.

Apparently he does not concur with your calculations.

Oh golly... made my ribs hurt there.

He's as much a corporate tiger as the fat pig can place first in the marathon.

The guy is a joke in the corporate world.

Like seriously. You don't wonder why he's trying to sell steaks, beverages, vodka, lobsters or his failed (well, they all failed) college on real estate? Real businessmen don't stoop to the level of pasting their name on every knick knack they can find.

He pretty much single handedly destroyed the U.S. Football League when he went up against the NFL.

You haven't noticed reputable businessmen don't partner with him? Don't do deals with him? Our own banks don't like lending to him?

Does he even have friends he hasn't paid for?

The numbers are easy to find.

"...we export more in agricultural products to Canada than we receive. What’s more, we export more than five times as much dairy as we import. Then, at the bottom of that chart, services. We export twice as much in services as we import."

"What drove Trump’s response to Trudeau, though, seems to have been something more abstract."

"Much of this, then, may not have been about trade. It may, instead, have been about projecting strength to Kim Jong Un — at the expense of Justin Trudeau."

So why did Trump decide Trudeau would be his target? Maybe because Trump looks like a gargoyle next to Trudeau, who is taller, younger and much better looking.

Who Trump? Definitely no. I'm guessing even his children are going to try to disassociate from him after he's gone.

Well at least we know why you like him better.

Numbers don't matter.

The idiot can't read.

No. Have you read the Constitution? It is not at all "plain speak" as you put it.

Maybe some uneducated farmers spoke that way, but small farmers tended to be uneducated back then. Those people were not, nor have they ever been, who governed this country.

So very true. Read their writings during that time, read The Federalist Papers, read the Anti-Federalist Papers, these were educated men that write better than we do today honestly.
