David Frum: “Donald Trump threatening to annex Canada? It was an absurd state of affairs. I briefly thought-about recycling an previous joke of mine about merging the entire Excessive Plains states right into a single province of South Saskatchewan. However as I toyed with it, the joke soured. The president of the USA was bellowing aggression in opposition to fellow democracies. The state of affairs was concurrently too silly for severe journalism and too shameful for wisecracks.”
“On this second Trump presidency, many people are baffled by how you can reply. The previous Trump strategist Steve Bannon memorably described Trump’s methodology as ‘flood the zone with shit.’ Attempt to display screen all of the movement, and you’ll quickly exhaust your self and desensitize your viewers. Ignore the flood, and shortly you’re immersed within the stuff neck-deep.”
