World braces for Trump come-back

These are bleak times for Canada. From wildfires to catastrophic floods, the truth of climate change is making us pay attention. On top of that, we’ve spent almost two years and over 200 billions fighting the killer virus that’s still killing us, only to learn there’s an even deadlier variant on the way.

So you can imagine my reaction when I opened my Globe and Mail today and read this headline; “Canada must prepare for a Trump revival.”

OMG!!!

Haven’t we suffered enough? Besides, I was under the impression the Orange Ogre had been democratically deposed a year ago.

But experts whose thoughts the Globe brain trust see fit to publish are deeply concerned. For some reason, the worst president in history remains enormously popular, (which is, among other things, a searing indictment of America’s education system.)

The experts seem to think President Biden doesn’t have a hope in hell to win in ‘24. Based on his first ten months, they may be right.

Then Trump “would renew the awful menace the world barely survived the first time. As before, he would imperil world peace, give cover to authoritarians everywhere and destabilize the rules-based international legal order.”

Luckily, the experts see a way out, and Canada can play a leading role. The world needs a new coalition of democracies that could serve as the political wing of NATO. Current international institutions like the UN are no good, because they allow non-democracies to participate.

Our new coalition will employ the same all-for-one and one-for-all strategy used by NATO. We will reward countries who play democratic ball, together. We will punish those who don’t, together.

Sounds like the “experts” are trying to breathe fresh life into the American Empire!
