"Putting America first" is a really nice bumper sticker, but it has basically nothing behind it. Any time somebody gives an example of what "putting America first" would look like it's a wholly unrealistic expectation that just makes us look childish, or is so vague that you can't really pull any policy out of it.

America first to Trump means sticking your middle finger up at the rest of the world.

Ah, yes I was referring to the common person, voter or not.

Elected officials I agree.

Trudeau tried to save face, tried to talk tough after the big dog had left the room. He pretended to be tough, at Trump's expense.

As much of an unhinged moron as Trump might be, he is a guy who gets the broad policy issues and the broad ideas right, and who to be taken seriously. Trudeau, on the other hand, is simply a joke and an embarrasment. And slowly, the Canadians seem to realize it. Look, for example, at the results of the recent Ontario elections (Ontario is accounting for one third of the Canadian population and 40% of Canada's GDP):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_general_election,_2018

Doug Ford, the trumpian leader of the Ontario conservatives, who by the press had often been labelled as "Trump light", has increased his party's seat count from 27 to 76, enough for a majority government. Meanwhile, Trudeau's Liberals dropped from 55 seats down to just 7, an unmitigated disaster, their worst result in over 15 years.

His party was just demolished in Ontario, he will lose his head bowing to the Quebecois.

It's always nice on PaRD when you start a conversation, and after just a few clarifications both sides just end on "I agree".

it would be much more interesting if he was running around successfully practicing medicine like Dr Quinn rather than just scamming his friends and family for a couple of decades spending his days jerking off in libraries and wandering the streets reading medical journals with pigeon shit on his head

He spent his time mostly at the WHO where he pretended he was working.
