Trump Was the Big Loser (Again) in Canada’s Election

Buck Banks

“So Trump has produced a revived government in Ottawa with a distinct mandate to fight him tooth and nail. But that’s not the only way he was a loser on Monday. It’s not at all unusual for politicians to rally domestic support by picking a fight with other countries; it’s a jingoistic political tale as old as time. In this case, there is zero evidence (outside the hardest core of MAGA loyalists) that Americans have rallied to Trump’s Canada-bashing cause. Au contraire, as they might say in Quebec …. If that’s not enough, the president’s persistent bullying of Canada has drawn extra attention to his single most unpopular economic policy initiative: the on-again, off-again trade war that has unsettled markets everywhere and convinced price-conscious Americans that inflation is about to make a comeback.”

Ex-RNC Chair Says Trump Is ‘Wasting Our Time’

Buck Banks

“My unease with Donald Trump didn’t just begin with his recent remarks concerning the barbaric invasion of Ukraine. It goes back to his arrival on the national scene roughly seven years ago. Montana is a place where there is appreciation for leaders who speak their minds, but an expectation they will also stick to the facts. It is also a place where drivel and deceit are quickly set aside as a waste of precious time. And, frankly, Donald Trump is wasting our time.”

— Former Montana governor and RNC Chair Marc Racicot slammed former President Trump in the Helena Independent Record over his comments on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, writing that the ex-commander in chief is “not fit to lead this nation.”

“Now, Wacky Bill Cassidy can’t walk down the street in Louisiana, a State I won by almost 20 points. He could not even be elected dog catcher today, the great people curse him.”

— Former President Trump blasted Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) on Monday after the senator said in an interview he would not vote for him if he ran for president again in 2024, The Hill reports. Trump called Cassidy a “RINO” who had “begged” for his endorsement in 2020 “and used it all over the place to win re-election.”

Four Trump-Backed Audits Debunked Trump

Buck Banks

Washington Post: Thursday saw two major developments in the pursuit of the Big Lie: Trump successfully browbeat Texas into conducting a “full forensic” recount of votes in four counties and his sad yet bizarre audit in Arizona found another 360 votes — for Joe Biden.

Here’s the scorecard:
1. Arizona — 360 vote shift to Biden
2. Michigan/Antrim County — 12 votes to Trump
3. Georgia — 1,779 votes to Trump
4. Wisconsin — 74 votes to Biden

In other words: Democracy 1, Trump 0.
