An excellent editorial from the Globe & Mail:
But Mr. Trump does not behave according to any rational calculus.
It isn’t just that he has no understanding of policy, nor any knowledge of history to guide him;
or that he conforms to none of the norms of custom, morality or law. It is that, even understood
as a wholly self-involved, self-serving bundle of id, one whose only motive is self-aggrandizement
and self-enrichment, Mr. Trump is incomprehensible. His actions make no sense even in terms
of rational self-interest. It’s all just random impulses, fleeting grudges, synaptic burps, based
on who spoke to him last, what he saw on TV or what he had for breakfast, for all I know.
It's about how Canada shouldn't even try to appease him, because it doesn't matter - no matter what concessions we make, he's gonna do whatever he wants. And I've been saying that since he got back into the office and eliminated all the adults in the room that kept his first administration within spitting distance of normality.
Worth a read. Imagine any major US paper printing this.
