We shouldn’t be surprised. This position is shared by North American liberals of all stripes, after all. The defense will be that Trudeau was making a statement of straightforward fact. “I think if there were no tensions, if there was no escalation recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their
Trump Derangement Syndrome is an obsession, virtually universal among Democrats and the mass media, who are opposing, discrediting, and destroying President Trump.

Two days later, I’m still trying to figure out if this tweet was an empty pander to MAGA Nation or if Trump really meant it. Because if he meant it, he and McConnell are waaay far apart on the optimal outcome from this trial. Many believe that by the Senate giving credence to a trial
