Certifiable.

And you wonder why everyone hates you.

Better stock up on olive oil. The world’s largest producer (Spain) is now persona non grata because it didn’t bend to Trump’s demands. Apparently the US doesn’t need anything from Spain anymore. Think he said that about Canada once too. Reality will bite eventually.

As much as it broke our hearts this was a wonderful win for both US hockey teams and should have been celebrated wholeheartedly in the US. How it has descended into this says everything about Trump and his lackeys.

Finally he acknowledges the bogey man down south. Obviously the PM’s Davos speech struck a nerve and his own speech writers have been busy. All well and good. But actions speak louder than words and the leader of the opposition has a lot of work to do in that department.
