Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Watching the inevitable critics of Carney's performance with Trump today, I am reminded of the two bits of advice I used to give clients: Don't antagonize people who can inflict serious harm on you. Don't start fights with crazy people. There are other routes to success than confrontation. #cdnpoli

I suspect they spent some time coming up with exactly the right adjective. Trump is transforming the United States into a fascist regimen. So hey, transformative works.

No lies. He has been transformative…in the more shitty inhumane way.
What does Canada gain by speaking the unvarnished truth in this situation? Nothing.
