I know they set up the Conservative conference for Poilievre to win (in Calgary, no remote votes), but 87.4%?

Trump is totally insane, but I strongly suspect this is a lead-up to him planning to take us over himself.

Is the US going to get Trump out of office before he starts WWIII, or just sit back and watch? The man is clearly insane.
