    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”. Canada, America’s northern neighbour and second-largest trading partner, is “one of the nastiest countries”. Russia was “doing what anyone would do” when it bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a pause in American intelligence sharing. Our polling with YouGov shows how this rhetoric is reshaping people’s opinions about their countries’ allies.

      I thought I was immune to the insanity, but I’m flabbergasted again. Did he really say that?

          Thanks. It gets worse:

          “That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it. But now I’m president.”

          This is who Trump is. Thinks he is. Strongman. But alas, he’s fighting windmills. And by fighting them, he makes those peaceful windmills fight back. Which then retroactively justifies his paranoia that the world is against him? Stop the sanewashing. This person belongs in an asylum.
