Transcription: Trump’s anger in Canada gets dark: this is not “is not a joke”

I think there is damage to the relationship, if not between governments, between the citizens of Canada and the citizens of America when our opposition party, The main media, social networks, Trump’s critics (say), There goes again. There is something important in saying that what you are doing is wrong and we will not let it do it.

Sargent: To his point, I want to read some voting numbers because they show, at least when the pollsters ask him, people find that these things are very disturbing. The new Quinnipiac survey finds that only 42 percent of voters approve Trump’s foreign policy management, 53 percent will disapprove. Only 36 percent approve of Trump’s trade with Canada and 58 percent will disapprove. Only 31 percent say Trump’s attitude towards Canada is correct. Meanwhile, in the new CNN survey, Trump’s approval on foreign affairs is 42 to 58. Therefore, for its point, it is a constant among smart reporters and the kind of consultants: voters do not care about this, so these numbers do not matter. But what if they care, right? EITHERR Maybe they need to be taken care of, and may be done to care for. Maybe they can be done to treat this as a joke or a leverage play, to use that representable cliché. How can something that demonstrates so clearly Trump’s inability for the presidency not to be central to our political discourse?

Beutler: Yes, an opposition focused is needed, right? I sympathize with the instinct not to feed the perception of the perception Trump wants to create of himself as a strong leader that people should fear. There is courage to make fun of him for taking this position. If the Democrats had a consensus leader, a presidential candidate or someone who was the Omniscient Party spokesman, it would be good for them to say BOth, The way you treat people who have been better for us in the world is frightening, but how is your plan to take them to work? How is the fifty state going? Oh, did you also fail that? It is a duality that I think the Democratic Party is able to hit. They are not doing it for the reasons we have just discussed, but I think there are scenarios that are not too crazy. That could put our policy and our political discourse in a closer alignment with their point of view, that this is something that Americans really care or should care, that we stop venting it.
