From the sublime to the ridiculous, it would appear, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government will do anything to keep Donald Trump sweet. Consider the dissimilar cases of Meng Wanzhou and Stephanie Clifford. The first we won’t allow to leave Canada, the second we won’t allow to visit. Both, obviously, because

Montreal Simon: Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels, and the Toadstool Nightmare
As we all know, Donald Trump's mental state is continuing to deteriorate. He should be concerned about the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, but he's clearly more worried about Hurricane Mueller. Those who know him claim he's desperately afraid of being humiliated, by being dragged out of the White House in handcuffs.But

It’s interesting that the presence of David Pecker on the board of Postmedia Network Inc. only became a topic of public debate after he left the largest publisher of daily and community newspapers in English Canada last week. The fact the evocatively named CEO of American Media Inc. was known to

Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani haven't been seen together since the heady days of the Republican leadership race.But Trump has been shaking up his legal team as Robert Mueller closes in on him, so he decided to call on Giuliani again.And it may have been one of the worst decisions of

Mission Accomplished? Donald Trump’s crowing Tweets prove the wisdom of Karl Marx’s dictum: History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce. This fact is a significant blessing, nonetheless, at least insofar as Friday night’s tactically and legally dubious missile raid by U.S. military forces on Syria is concerned. How

Well it finally happened. Donald Trump has been humiliated beyond recognition. And they are laughing at him all over the world. The porn star Stormy Daniels has told her story to Anderson Cooper, and it turns out to be a combination of a low budget porn movie and The Sopranos.Read more

I never did understand, and never will, how Donald Trump could boast of grabbing women by their private parts, act like a sexist pig, and a pervert.And still be elected president of the United States of America.It's so depressing, and so infuriating, and the stench of corruption burns the nostrils.But

Earlier today I looked at what Donald Trump might be hiding. And quoted what the New York Times' Thomas Friedman had to say about that. President Trump is either totally compromised by the Russians or is a towering fool, or both, but either way he has shown himself unwilling or unable to

It’s a now familiar pattern for the Trump brigade. At first deny everything, no matter how implausible the denial, and hope that whatever it is dies a natural death. If repetitive denial doesn’t work, invent some tall tale, again no matter how implausible, and see if that won’t work. Trump

Dan MurphyDonald Trump does a lot of bad and dirty things. Always has, always will. It's the nature of the beast.But the one that disgusts me the most, without the shadow of a doubt, is the sight of that morally depraved pervert posing as a pious person.Or a fake Christian…
