The US used to be the country others measured themselves against. Its remaining admirers are in Moscow and Pyongyang, and it has become exactly the kind of s**thole it used to sneer at. Why is Trump still in office? Because Americans are fine with it. #cdnpoli

Trump on Abdul El Sayed: “I call him, Mohammed El Fayed. Some people call him Abdul. I call him Mohammed. Somebody said “why?” I said I don’t know. I feel like it.” You know why. It’s for the same reason you put emphasis on Obama‘s middle name, Hussein. You are a fucking racist. #cdnpoli
Trump - “If you're gonna win, you're gonna not buy oil from Russia” Trump, the convicted felon, the rapist, has long criticized buyers of Russian oil. Today he decided to become one of them. And rubber stamp the US as a Russian asset and trading partner. #cdnpoli

Anne McGrath on Pierre Poilievre crashing out over a question about his caucus: "What he did there was take something that he could have easily batted away. That actually gives us more of a display of who he is than what the issues are that he was trying to highlight." #cdnpoli
Reporter: Did you personally authorize or approve the livestreamed execution at Fort Hood? Trump: Did I approve? Absolutely I did. #cdnpoli

Trump does an incoherent ramble as a confused audience listens in complete silence: "And you know what they're doing? They go straight down, you know, you can make those drill bits talk. You can make 'em sing, you can make them go, they go down." #cdnpoli
Trump: I got Greenland. I hope you're happy about that. Remember they all said, “oh he's never going to get it” We got it—& for the right price. The 2026 US-Denmark-Greenland agreement expands American military access & cooperation but transfers no ownership or control of the island itself #cdnpoli
Trump: "The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn't. This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway. We will not forget, Norway." #cdnpoli
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports. #cdnpoli
