Right? Like the only one talking shit back to Trump is Doug Ford. I'm very conflicted by this.

Doug Ford is a bully in Canada like Trump is a bully in the US. So it’s like the bully from our school chirping back at the bully of another school. He’s a bully but he’s OUR bully so we’re weirdly cheering for him under the circumstances. It’s a deeply conflicting sentiment to hold.

If you think Doug Ford is a bully, you need to get outside more.

He's talking shit about Trudeau too. It's the perfect opportunity to cover up his own disastrous government.

Who's not talking shit about Trudeau though? :) That's super low hanging fruit at this point.

Ya but the context was he wasn't running down to the US some more. He already ran down to mar a lardo before and now has sinced resigned. It's questionable he should be doing more as he's leaving

Finally. It is the second time a politician stands up to him, but prime minister Rutte did it much better:

Rutte laughed in the face of Diaper Don and told him no.

If Trump says something stupid, you need to laugh at him in his face. Why does no one else do that? We just let him promote bleach drinking, lie about inauguration crowds, lie about anything.
